oafc1955 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 We don’t know the full story and probably never will, however, and I may be wrong here but I don’t think he has sent out a single message of support to his teammates or shown any interest in our performances whatsoever during his time on the sidelines. There are two sides to every dispute and as much as I can’t stand this regime, for AL to have paid him and not played him thus relinquishing any possibility of a potential transfer fee I’m thinking Wheater must have seriously pissed him off and been in some way responsible for this sorry mess!! Very underwhelmed by his signing and whether his heart was ever in it or not he was in no way the experienced polished pro I thought we had signed and even at 37 would have taken Clarkey all day long. Anyway, he’s gone now, so fuck him!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And although I didn’t agree with his stance during furlough, I do know that he wanted to play again but was prevented from doing so. I do know that the owner treated him badly. I do know that the owner wasted a wage for the season. I don’t know whether Wheatz was standing by his principles or whether he made any attempt to find another club. Maybe having time to reflect I may not clap as loudly as I might have but maybe now the full story will come out? Or maybe there’s a non-disclosure agreement in place. Whatever the whole truth is, it was yet another sorry chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBlue Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Could we sign a free agent centre back with his wages? Would I be right in thinking that we wouldn't be able to register them for the squad or is that just on Football manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe u can sign out of contract players and play them. But I'm not 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to the 400-odd who've paid up, your money has - potentially - gone to David Wheater. Interesting isn't it. The first thing we do when we start selling season tickets (2 months before the current season ends) is to pay off a player who they have a pretty dispute with and the current manager and employ one on a short term deal. It's as if that money hasn't been earmarked for next season........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still mulling over the Kewell statement To be honest, I don't tihnk the Trust should be commenting on day to day matters, it just sidetracks from what they should be doing. PTB do an axcellent job of that anyway. The Trust should focus on the longer term items like it is focussing on the AVC, and getting itself into to position if things take a turn for the worst, which it appears to be making long overdue attempts at. Something that should have happened years ago. Now the coup has been averted, at least it seems to be going in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Great signing that was a big let down on the pitch for us. Impossible to comment on what happened off the pitch. Will probably end up at back at Bolton and help take them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
