Not that secret when it's on twitter :) Dan tweeted he had heard Moly was going to Crewe, nowt definate.

cashman 24-06-2013 19:32

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Just my opinion, but think Moly would do much better n Crewe (no disrespect to em) if he remained at Stanley a full season n continued improving, He would have much more chance of continuous games here, n could easily impress a far bigger club by improving.:) Doubt very much if that will happen, But most of our young uns that left too early didn't cut the mustard elsewhere.

can't grumble with Crewe, its about as big a shop window as you could find in this country! Every scout and his dog has a season ticket there

Medical done and contract all but done according to the man himself on Twitter.

Cant blame the club, he came on trial, did ok so got a one year deal - this time last year Moly, Chippendale, Eckers, Gray all in same boat. Moly (& Gray to a lesser extent) have made the most of the opportunity.

You've got to think of it from the players point of view.

Most players who come to Stanley want to use it as a shop window.

They aren't offered long contracts because we can't afford the risk and the good ones won't want a long contract because they know it'll restrict where they move to after Stanley to someone who is willing to pay a fee. The more a club spends on a transfer fee the less they have to splash on wages...

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Interesting to read that Moly's move to Crewe was in the balance this morning, because of his insistence that he wanted no longer than a 1-year contract.

12 months from now: no payback to his Club with a transfer fee earned & more money for the player when he moves with a no transfer paid. :rolleyes:

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
I think he perhaps has delusions of grandeur then if he thinks that he will definitely be on the move next summer. I'd have thought that most lower league footballers would be grateful for a 2 year contract and security?

He was fantastic towards the end of the season - no-one can doubt that, but the 30 games prior to that ...

But how good? This suggests he thinks he's too good for the Alex long term. not quite sure he proved that last season.

I'm sure we'd give him a one-year contract no problem! :D

Think so - his goals were vital for us don't get me wrong but I remember with a couple of the goals thinking a better quality keeper would have got to them.

Too good for us but for me can't see him past League 1 at his peak

TOO GOOD FOR ASFC NEVER . he along with other ex players want to thank their lucky stars ASFC gave them a chance when they needed it . I remember a few of our subscibers talking about a FOOTBALL GENIUS manager he was even called GOD hes still looking for a job no doubt some club will take him and his mate on one day

Moly more than others.

Remember when he started playing for us, he was still wearing a tag after being released from prison - three years for violent assault - and couldn't play in evening games because he was still on curfew :(

No other Club gave him a chance to resurrect his career!

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Agree with much of what has been said above; I thought Mr Molyneux was of doubtful quality early on but he proved me wrong once it was realised he wasn't a defensive left back.
However, it could be his 'agent' demanding a one year contract so he can extract another fee in 12 months. Given a choice between his client and himself, I wonder whose financial interests would come first with some 'agents'?

DAV007 26-06-2013 20:49

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Molly is a footballer in the lower leagues who is only 1 injury away from ending his career.
He has every right to maximise his options.

If Crewe aren't willing to give him a 1 year deal, then they will have to find an equally talented left sided player of Mollys quality on a free transfer.
They wont.

Jeg Red 26-06-2013 21:57

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Moly needs to be careful that he doesn't come out of this looking like he's not keeping his feet on the ground.

A year ago, he'd just come out of prison and Stanley have him a chance, so the 12 month contract suited both parties. I always thought he had the quality, although it took some time for him to show it consistently and the 2 goals at Rochdale were the turning point for him.

He's relishing his second chance and has a baby due soon, so given his situation, you'd think he'd jump at the security of a 2 year deal with Crewe. If he shows potential to play at a higher level than League 1, someone will come in for him and pay a fee, so he should have a deal of faith in his own ability if that's what he's after.

Don't under estimate the role of the agent here and his motivation for providing the advice he appears to be providing

I would argue he was only 1 Step away from the scrap heap, wi a tag on his leg n nobody would give him a chance only Stanley,:rolleyes:

I was raving about him to a few Plymouth fans at work last season and they all said that when they had him in the Championship, he looked out of his depth.

Good player, and grateful to him for contributing the goals that kept us our league status, but should have rewarded us with another year for giving him a chance when everyone else had turned their backs on him.

That's Modern Football and Modern Players for you though.

If Molly turns down Crewe for whatever reason he's a bigger idiot than i thought. Crewe is a football school of excellence their offering him a job top quality coaching two years wages and secrurity,he could not get at Asda or Tesco for starters he'd be on a trial period if if his face did not fit in the first few weeks he'd be down the road .But i'm forgetting football is about dreams, money corruption and BETTING . I don't think Crewe will give him that long to decide one way or the other

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Some VERY harsh messages been posted in this thread, I thought certain people where bigger than slagging off players who had departed but obviously not.

After meeting Moly towards the end of the season he is such a nice lad and is only leaving for bigger and better things?? If someone more than doubled your wage for a different company would you stay?? Would you hell, you would run out of the door.

Yes we gave Moly a chance when he was on the scrap heap, but after trying his balls out all I season and saving us from the drop I would say he repaid his debt, and some!

Yes he was off the pace at the start, what do you expect after not kicking a ball in anger for 18 months?!?? He was magnificent in the last 15 games and I personally he hope he has a great career as he is smashing lad.

SamF 27-06-2013 17:20

Re: Molly joins Crewe
 
Agree with sentiment he paid any 'debt' to us with the goals that kept us up.

Fool for risking his chance at Crewe mind.

Lee Molyneux ‏@Moly24 13h Home chilling with @samsymonsx & bump. Can't comment on the other lads as that is down to police and Crewe now to release statements.
