    Another one off then wage bill then. Would be good if we had takers for O'Keefe, Watters, Cotter, MDG and Gent.

    Meh. Not arsed but goes to show clearly club is in a mess judging by that comment. Sorry he hadn’t done enough during his time here to warrant a new deal anyway.

    This, don't think he's calling the club out, we're all aware the club is in a very difficult financial position, I think it's simply we can't afford to pay what he wants.

    He won't be the last to call out the club.

    Tin pot ran by toss pots. Couldn't run a gangbang in a brothel. Rah, rah, rah :D.

    Plenty of time to assemble a squad capable of winning the League 2 Play-Offs in two years.

    Call it what you want

    But let's not gloss over the fact that we always wait until October/November to get a squad together and at least try to get going.

    Every single year.

    Always behind

    Nobody wants em mate.. still be here running their contracts down.
    Tis what you get when the people running the club don't know what they are doing. This isn't an over night decline

    Can't disagree with this. It looks like it could be the third consecutive season we let a HC down due to poor transfer activity. Be left playing catch up again.

    So they didn't trigger the option because they couldn't afford to pay/ or wouldn't pay the wages he was currently on. More than likely offered him a new deal on reduced money and he's said shove it straight up your ring piece. And I don't blame him.

    Club appears to be in a right state. No wonder we haven't even signed a new tea lady.

    Sack Mladen, sell up. We can't be any worse run if bloody Conway and Lee came back! And that's saying something!
