Twenty eight I am totally in agreement with you never really rated him along with the people who I go matches with plus those I,m in regular contact with, just shows different people,s view on the game though because on social media it's like we have lost a superstar. Each to their own of course but I think the midfield signings this year look solid Sherif unfortunately injured but alongside Barclay and Conneelly have give us plenty of options in there.

I think Finley knew it also is my view.

I am going to have to keep my powder dry.
100% he was sacked in my view.
The truth will out I guess at some point.

Well thats not the story theyre putting out. Acording to Coleman he asked to tear up his contract as he felt a fresh start was what he needed.Obviously he knew about Fleetwood but the interesting bit was did he forget to mention it to JC.

I thought it strange yesterday that a lad with a decent contract for the next 12 months would simply tear it up and walk away when he could have just done the very minimum and picked up 50k. But todays news joins up a lot of the dots but i really do hope he didnt take the **** just to save Pilley a few quid on a transfer fee.

Same as the whisper your not in my plans.

You don't stand by a player for 5 months then sack them for gross misconduct, Stanley would not have a leg to stand on. Players do occasionally get sacked but it for thing like breaking a team mate's jaw in the dressing room, it has to be very serious as the contracts are water tight.

As others have stated he will have known another contract was on the table when he agreed to have his current one cancelled, or else it would have been too big a gamble in the current climate.

[smudgie]

As others have said, had a great spell with us no doubt about it.

Him and Barton = Perfect fit imo !

Coley is no mug.
Under contract and when in the right frame of mind Sam commands a fee to move on.
OK serving a suspension but is anyone seriously buying it that a request to rescind a contract followed by signing for another club is by mutual consent ? Does anyone buy it that Coley with all his contacts didn't sniff interest ?
If so Im shocked.

At the end of the day only the club & Sam know what's gone on, we can guess or even think we know as much as we like but it doesn't change anything, the lad's gone now so maybe time to let things lie & move on
