Fleetwood Town FC | News Story

Re: John Miles
 

Just looked on fleetwood fc site [dooohhh] yep they confirmed so :(

The running of club is peeing me off - no flipping news or owt coming from them at all - other clubs update their supporters, suppose no news soon of any replacements ... probably get that from the LET 1st:rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

Yeh apparently so, lucky so's have cash injections & using it well, seems they have most of x stanley players now.

Wheres stanleys sugar daddy ????:do-one::D

Re: John Miles
 

Thought Milesey had signed up though, at least it was reported in the Observer that he had - can't blame him I suppose, he's good mates with Cav & at least he'll be guaranteed to get paid on time there - gutted :( Would be nice if the club told us these things first instead of being told second-hand

Re: John Miles
 

Ignore me

Re: John Miles
 

So we thought/were told that Milesy had signed and he has not, so apart from some kid of a keeper, some kid of a leftback and Craig Lindfield, who - apart from the 2 year deals - has signed????????

Re: John Miles
 

:( I too thought j/miles was under contract at the club he was under a 2yr contract like c turner im sure but might be wrong:(

Re: John Miles
 

All about the money clearly!!!

Football League or Non League?

No footballer cares anymore, they dont care what level they play at, they just care about that little bit more cash they can have!!!

They`ll regret it when Fleetwood get in admin!!

If fleetwood dont go up this season then they`ll go bust! Players like Miles arnt the answer to them going up! Lazy Sod!

But thanks for some goals and the headaches and annoyance of you being lazy when we all knew you could be superb if you could be assed.

Ahhhh well, not a big loss :).

Re: John Miles
 

Amen

Re: John Miles
 

According to the fishy site in May only four players were on 2 years ;

Club Captain Andy Procter, defender Phil Edwards and midfielders Jimmy Ryan and Chris Turner have 12 months remaining on their current deals,

According to this article in the MEN ( which I assume was the Observer article ) JC said Miles had signed on.

Re: John Miles
 

Spot on LD, only 4 on 2 year deals, but did think that Miles and a few others - Bavs, McConville, Joyce - had signed up!!!!

Re: John Miles
 

So far, signed up, are goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, defenders Phil Edwards, Dean Winnard, Peter Murphy and Hall; midfielders Jimmy Ryan, Andy Procter, :rofl38: :rofl38:John Miles :rofl38: :rofl38:, Chris Turner, Luke Joyce, Alan Burton and Sean McConville and striker Lindfield.


BBC Sport - Football - Fleetwood Town sign John Miles and Paul Linwood

Re: John Miles
 

Considering what is happening at the club, i.e. embargo etc, I cannot say I blame John Miles. If you want to blame anyone, look to the chair and ceo not anyone else. If they cannot keep the house in order, who would want to stay?

Re: John Miles
 

you really are a clown fc, its more about getting paid on time regular,not about the level there playing at. if those running this fiasco cared about the players, fans etc then ya may have a point, but what do expect blokes to do?:confused:

Re: John Miles
 

:) Also having his best mates there helps as well ie Peter Cavanagh & Ian Craney!!! Did Robbie Williams sign for Fleetwood Stanley as well ;):D:D

Re: John Miles
 

and Anthony Barry

Re: John Miles
 

No, Rocky is at Scouseport :rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

My thoughts exactly Ozzy - at this rate we'll be lucky to be able to field a team in the tournament in Devon :rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

Common sense here, whilst i am sick as parrot that players are moving on, i cannot blame any player fer walking away from the Dollopers that are in charge. i just wish to hell they would sod off.:(

Re: John Miles
 

I am sure all these positive posts on here are doing wonders for potential new players looking to sign !!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

There are plenty of good players out there who will want to stay in football,and on the subject of John Miles , I am sure we can find a replacement for him that might actually break sweat and put a few tackles in,admittedly he did grace us with the odd killer through ball, and a repertoire of corner routines (they will be sadly missed!!!):rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

According to LET Miles had agreed to sign but text Coley on Sunday to tell him he wouldn't be reporting for training on Monday as he had signed for Fleetwood. If I remember rightly he did the same thing when he signed for us - he had agreed to sign for Macclesfield but came to Stanley.

Re: John Miles
 

You can't blame the people who post on here for the way the club treats its players and fans.

Re: John Miles
 

we need a board kick out ... no need for more staff . will be stanley staff v shots

Re: John Miles
 

John Miles has shown how unprofessional he is!! After three years at the club, surely it would have been good manners to speak personally with John Coleman,.

Regardless of how much more money Fleetwood are paying, he had given his word to Accrington, and whilst he is allowed to change his mind, there is a way to behave, and retain your reputation. Maybe it will be no great loss to us, as his lack of effort an enthusiasm have been evident in many games. We have experienced similar situations in the past, and still made progress.

Re: John Miles
 

Good manners...??? Come, come, this is the 21st century. Why face up to people with your decisions and deceptions when you can text them. If that's truly how it happened then good riddance, Mr. Miles. You just confirmed that laziness wasn't your only character flaw.

Re: John Miles
 

miles one of the best lazy gets . miles= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$graber

Re: John Miles
 

clown? ha. jusy because you think your correct! this forum gets worse everyday!! no wonder so many supporters who were once on here dont post anymore!


if you you dont think its about the money then your kidding yourself! it clearly is! its a one off they wernt payed their full wage and they have actually received all
of it now!! people like craney , barry , miles are all there for the money!!

players dont care about were they play now! loyalty in this game now is a rarity!!

Re: John Miles
 

as a player you want to be playing at the highest level you can!

a drop down a league for clearly more money in my eyes is not a loyal player at all!

maybe id understand if it was just a move to an established non league club like york, wrexham etc, not a newly promoted one flashing the cash to everyone !!

Re: John Miles
 

good ridance of our 'vice' captain.

Re: John Miles
 

it is not a one off it has happened before, i know it n so so you, memory loss is it? yes some players leave fer purely monetary reasons, any fool knows that, but to say "All" like you did is n exhibition of stupidity to me, would you stay in any employment if ya weren't getting paid on time? n another opportunity came along? i sure as hell would never have, about people ya mention who don't post now on here, if those jessies can't take a differance of opinion, then tough.:rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

you cant compare playing football to an ordinary job! its totally different. other players have stayed etc, so why can't he?

option to play football league or non league with a newly promoted team? clearly not moving for football reasons...

Re: John Miles
 

Nonesense do these lads not have the same overheads as other folk, I.E. mortgages, kids, etc etc to support, or do ya think there just international playboys.?:rolleyes:

Re: John Miles
 

he give jc a text that whats p me ... any one that leves to look after famliy and over things that fine by me

Re: John Miles
 

I'm with Cashy and others; you have to pay your way in life. Miles made a good choice; Fleetwood is a club on the up, there's little doubt that promotion will come at the end of next season, there is sound investment into the ground, players and town and everyman and his dog is totally committed. No half baked dreams of what could be if everyone plays ball. Their investors; invest, they make things happen. I can see Fleetwood overtaking us on the way up, has we make our way down.

Re: John Miles
 

that i do agree with, shows no respect at all fer coley. IMHO.

Re: John Miles
 

What has happened/is happening at Fleetwood presumably isn't just the result of their backer throwing money at players. The change in manage last season smacked of someone having worked out a vision for a clubs and of taking steps to achieve it. Although not everything was rosy by any means in the EW years, at least there wad that decisiveness and sense of purpose. I just hope for Fleetwood's sake that that haven't made the mistake of other Lancashire clubs in seemingly paying out money in wages whilst forgetting the tax man.

I'm not sure I'd they will pass us on the way up as I hope that our FL adventure still has some way to go.

On the subject of Miles, on those occasions I've seen him play when I've been able to get to games, he seemed a luxury player who wasn't always in the game but was capable of producing the odd moment of magic. I'm not convinced that there's any place for that kind of player on League 2. League 1, perhaps, but not 2. It'd bad form for him not to speak to JC face to face, especially when he'd agreed to signs new contract, buoy perhaps he was still waiting for his to be typed as well and was sick of waiting until "next week".

It would be nice if whoever takes his place in the squad could offer some genuine width like we used to enjoy from Roberts, Prendergast, Hoskin...

Re: John Miles
 

I reckon rumours of Fleetwood's impending progress to the FL have been greatly exaggerated. At the moment, we're the smallest town in the league with a population of 37,000. Fleetwood has 27,000 souls...do you reckon a town that size can generate high enough gates to support a league club?...with a premiership club just down the road?...and a championship club quite close (starting to sound familiar, isn't it?).

The board can have all the grandiose plans they want, they can make all the investments they want, but at the end of the day, if the area doesn't have the potential to generate the gates, not just for the big matches, but game after game, season after season, then the club will struggle to make the league and stay there (as we've found out in no uncertain terms!).

Re: John Miles
 

Players come and go but there's only one accy stanley!!

Re: John Miles
 

Spot on.......:)

Re: John Miles
 

I made a similar post some time ago and got my nuts chewed. I’m not putting the club down, but you have said the same thing as many of us. Small population, low gates and strong local competition for bums on seats.

What Fleetwood have that we don’t is vision and financial investment in the future. Times will become increasingly difficult over the coming seasons, we still keep getting CCJ’s and promises, no real vision and no delivery.

Coley will again go into a season with little money and make do with what he can hold on too. He will produce the odd miracle no doubt; but how long can we survive without somebody committing cart loads of cash without taking anything back out.

Re: John Miles
 

Of course we do because those who run the club carry on with the same old flying-by-the-seat-of-your pants, "summat'll turn up" attitude.

But Fleetwood can have all the "vision" and "financial investment" they want, if the town isn't big enough to support a league club, they won't make progress. Don't expect to see 'em in League 2 anytime soon!

Re: John Miles
 

As Cav would say, ya can bet on it.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: John Miles
 

My thoughts on the loss of miles, yes he could be a lazy get, but could be on his holidays fer 88 mins n produce a great cross, or goal, n he produced quite a few crosses last season that led to em, a player like that will be missed much more than kempson, who always gave 100% that part of him could not be faulted, but was not good enough fer league 2, i fear unless replaced by one of similar skill to miles, our points total next term will be quite a bit less.:eek:

Re: John Miles
 

The timing is poor as is the apparent way of letting the Club know, I would have expected more from a player who was Club Vice-Captain

As Cashy has said Miles did have the tricks in his locker to unlock defences to set up a winner but also from a fans point of view he was also frustrating when you knew he could do that but then failed to deliver.

I am sad to see him go as he had plenty of league experience but these things happen especially it seems at Stanley for whatever reasons?:confused:

Bring on the pre-season friendlies so our thoughts can be distracted from what is happening off the field all the time:)

Re: John Miles
 

Someone to get crosses into the box - sounds like it's just the opening Mr. Turner has been waiting for?
Hope the lad gets a decent run of games next season as I feel that's what's required to get the best out of him.
Will someone text Miles everytime a goal goes in from a Turner cross?

Re: John Miles
 

If ya give me his mobile number, i will gladly.:D

Re: John Miles
 

I reckon Rory and Ashley could be tempted to 'do a Craney'and return to 'The Crown' for a small fee !!. as for Gary Roberts ???.

John Miles' side of the story:
I didn't move for money: Miles - Accrington Observer

Re: John Miles
 

Sorry Milesy, not buying it. You had the choice of either six months to prove yourself as a Football League player, hereby obtaining a longer contract at a Football League club. Or, take the easy route and sign a 12-month deal at a non-league club for "not a massive pay rise". When faced with the prospect of actually having to prove yourself to earn a contract half way through the season, instead of settling into a season-long deal (and going missing for most of it), you've bottled it. All the best with your future but I think, as with Darran Kempson, you'll come to regret the decision.

TTFN.

Re: John Miles
 

"I admit I had given my word to Accrington but anyone who says they would still sign if someone came in with a bigger or longer contract is a liar."

No, Mr Miles, you're wrong in assuming that everyone has your moral character. I realise it's an out dated concept in football, if not in society in general, but maybe sticking to their word is what a more honourable and adult person would do.
Just hope they like the smell of fish at Fleetwood, 'cos you're behaviour stinks.

Re: John Miles
 

that comment is bang on, a statement i couldn't have made without swearing. No Excuse at all fer texting coley in my book, no matter how he tries to justify it.:( it just demonstrates how much stanley meant to him, on that basis GOOD RIDDANCE.

Re: John Miles
 

Well, I suppose it must be official now!!!!

Re: John Miles
 

I for one won't miss him. Good riddance.:mad:

Go and enthrall the good folk of Fleetwood with your immense talent for being invisible for the majority of games and your incredible work ethos !!! ;)

They'll soon wonder why they offered him more bunce for a one year deal. :eek:

Re: John Miles
 

i agree ... i didnt even know till somebody told me! website is crap! about time we started acting like a proper football club. we never get told anything!

Re: John Miles
 

John miles is a decent feller who rightfully has placed his family first.
He loved being at Accy and had aspirations to go back up the divisions before he hit 30, the fact he has taken a drop in divisions for the benifit of his family gets my respect.
And at least he sent a txt, kenny authur did nothing and you where all happy to have him back when released on a free.
Why the club would expect a senior quality player to take a 6 month deal to stay on the same wages is the real question that needs answering.
Whatever you think about miles and his form/application, his ability is never in doubt.

Re: John Miles
 

I cant believe some people are still defending him.

Last season he had 3 good games all year and yet some STILL wanted him to stay.

Good riddance.............

HE PLAYS ON THE LEFT, HE PLAYS ON THE RIGHT, THE BOY CHRIS TURNER, MAKES FULL BACKS LOOK ........
