Gordon Shepherd on the Sale of McIndoe

</strong /></span />

<span lang="EN-GB">AS most of you are aware yesterday was somewhat frantic in the loan deal market with this Club being busier than most.</span></p>

</p>

<span lang="EN-GB">Four players were brought in all of whom hopefully will make a difference in our efforts to climb out of the relegation zone. </span><span lang="EN-GB">The players are Ronnie Wallwork from West Brom, Kyel Reid, Leon Knight and Grant McCann. They were featured on our website last night so I do not propose to go over old ground in that respect.</span></p>



<span lang="EN-GB">What I feel that you should know is the situation regarding the departure of Michael McIndoe as fans need to know the facts of the matter.</span></p>



<span lang="EN-GB">I can confirm that we did not want to lose Michael as he is such a talented and effective player but unfortunately he had a clause in his contract which facilitated a transfer should he wish to join another club. Obviously when we signed Michael from Doncaster Rovers we would have preferred not to accept such a clause but without it there would have been no deal. In the circumstances therefore we accepted that clause and hoped it would never be triggered.</span></p>



<span lang="EN-GB">Sadly, yesterday, it was and there was nothing we could do about it. It was finally signed absolutely on the deadline last night and then one or two administrative matters needed tidying up before any announcement could be made. Despite the usual conspiracy theorists we were not, and are not, hiding anything nor is there any need to do so.</span></p>



<span lang="EN-GB">A plus point that should be borne in mind is that we will make a profit on the transfer albeit a modest one.</span></p>



<span lang="EN-GB">I do hope having access to this information clears the matter up and we can now move on.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB">Finally, I would like to thank Michael and wish him every success in the future.</span></p>

Fair enough... McIndoe obviously wanted to go to further his Scotland aspirations and we got a profit...

 

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NUDGER?

 

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but

weren't they lucky to have signed a left winger on loan ... and then find out that Mcindoe was off.</p>

What with the Mcindoe thing being last minute an' all  </p>

 

It looks like McIndoe saw BFC as no more than a place to go and get noticed by the big boys in a higher division than he was playing in at Doncaster. He was cynical, but we were naive.

 

So there we have it children, the statement you've all been screaming for, quite straight foreward, its what the more level headed people on here have been saying, but I'll lay a grand to bucket of sh*t that it wont stop the kiddies from throwing their dummies out of the cot and spouting the usual crap. And YN calling for a statement on summat else.

 

We shouldnt have ever signed him.

 

Mcindoe is simply escaping a sinking ship.....

Howard next i reckon

 

RE: Mcindoe is simply escaping a sinking ship.....

Colgan

 

howard next?

Mccann signed as his replacement

 

Exactly what the donny fans were saying would happen to be fair.

 

RE: howard next?

Just look at what you got for your money. Your chairman says you made a modest profit, but did you??
Think of the wages Macca has picked up and I bet the "profit" will not cover them.
All you got was the sight of a player who looked after his own ends at your expense.
Now that's what I call good business.

Never mind you can get even with him on New Years Day, but don't be surprised if he does not have the balls to turn up. Prone to injury when it suits him !!!!!

 

can I just say.................

your stadium does NOT look like Old Trafford</p>

O'Driscoll is NOT Arsene Wenger</p>

John Ryan IS an imbecile</p>

Doncaster WILL be relegated</p>

And i'm supposed to care what some Donny fan thinks because....??

 

Macca is a mercenary in the worse sense of the word. How long before Wolves are not big enough ???(puke) (puke)

 

RE: can I just say.................

Obviously you don't care hence your response.ff ff ff ff ff ff
