Dion
 

A Hibs. supporter - friend of mine - sent me a link saying that Hibs. would be back in for Dion in January, as they had had a £200k - laughable I know - bid knocked back for him!

Re: Dion
 

If he doesn’t wise up between now and then that bid might be just right for someone who hasn’t kicked a ball for three months.

Re: Dion
 

about time he looks in the mirror and realises which club rescued his career and get back putting a shift in to thank them. without stanley he could still be plying his trade with someone like chorley or fylde. we gave him the chance. all these others didn,t.

Re: Dion
 

Agreed, but my post is about the pathetic amount offered for Dion and not his attitude - which is equally so!

:) :)

Re: Dion
 

So they Hibs. Tried it on Dion obviously wanted to go and leave the club with peanut,s while he would have got 10% of the fee hope if he doesn't see sence he goes for nought at least then he won't pocket nought.

Re: Dion
 

Apparently he's been called up to the latest Northern Ireland squad despite not currently playing for his club - seems a little strange

Re: Dion
 

Tricky one this !!
Dion has proven he can perform at this level and has less than 9/10 months left on his contract.
Would imagine his agent has told him he could treble his wages if he went on a free so I assume Acci haven't offered him similar terms.
This is compounded by the fact hes an international and is probably aware of what others are on.
All forwards are stubborn buggers!!,so i think compromise is the only way forward.

Re: Dion
 

Why would he have got 10% of the transfer fee?

Re: Dion
 

Precisely. Where you getting this from Andy ?

Re: Dion
 

I take it the club doesn't have an option ?
That being the case he's free to speak to other clubs from January onwards.
From the clubs perspective anything is better than nothing.

Re: Dion
 

Dreamt it

Re: Dion
 

The problem must be between Manager and Player, and the manager can't give way or other players would start trying it on. Come on Dion, show the fan's you care about the Club. Play for us like we know you can and we'll love you forever! And when you leave we'll still remember you as one of our own....😁

Re: Dion
 

Whilst the same scenario totally different mind set.
Jordan Clark never downed tools gave his all right to the end.
Very disappointed with Dion.

Re: Dion
 

THE MAN IS A DISGRACE, sooner we get shut the better,

Re: Dion
 

And we will always respect Clicker for that.
Same with Colby Bishop - he had interest from the Posh but has got on with the job.
As for Charles’ international call up, good luck to him, hope the bench is heated, but that may say as much about NI’s options as his ability.

Re: Dion
 

The way things are panning out I assume Acci don’t have an option.
His agent will have been busy pre January!!!.
Reminds me of years ago,when we should have been promoted,but Windass and Crooks lost form when in a similar situation.
Agree the club should something rather than nothing.

Re: Dion
 

Yes, F19, we remember Windass and Crooks. ‘Losing form’ is a polite way of putting it. To others it looked like they both just couldn’t be bothered once they’d stitched up their ‘big’ move.
I just find Charles’ attitude dishonourable.
Everybody knows he would have been sold in January and, just because he’s been rubbing shoulders with the millionaires :rolleyes: in the NI squad and suddenly feels hard done by, he couldn’t just give his best for a few months to a club that took him from the dizzying heights of National North to League 1.

I don’t agree with every decision Coley makes, but I’m with him on this.

Re: Dion
 

Bit harsh on Crooks and Windass.

Windass was on fire at end of season after his op and Crooks was injured trying to turn the Plymouth game around.

Reminds me of Shay McCarten's winner. Glorious.

Re: Dion
 

OK, maybe that’s too harsh and doesn’t reflect the ‘Endeavour’ ;) of those two.
It’s also not fair because I don’t think Charles is yet anywhere near those two in terms of ability.

Re: Dion
 

billy kee or dion charles. know who i,d want to back me up and it aint the latter.

Re: Dion
 

He aint and never will be,imho, to me he has turned out to be a big headed little runt.

Re: Dion
 

Bonny Prince Charlie has morphed into the Young Pretender.
We all know what happened to him! :o

Re: Dion
 

well for a start he is not helping himself with his actions. some clubs may think again now about there interest in him. no manager wants to sign someone who may become a problem in the future no matter how they can perform on the pitch. my lad always rated dion highly before stanley signed him saying why is that lad still playing in non league. possibly we now know the answer.

Re: Dion
 

Now left out of the Northern Ireland squad. Hopefully might start to knock some sense into him.

Re: Dion
 

Can't knock sense into a person who hasn't got any in the first place.

Re: Dion
 

it looks to me like Charles has a bigger HEAD,agree he is nowhere near those lads, also i think hes thick, cos he could end up with no career at all.

Re: Dion
 

I don’t know much about Dion and whether he’s any brighter or not than any other football player, but, if rumours are correct, he seems to be stubborn.
We’ve all made daft decision at times and cut off our noses to spite our faces.
But, with a career as short and uncertain as a footballer’s can be, it seems unwise not to realise when you’re seriously damaging your own prospects.
Just hope it’s not too late to mend fences with the club if he does come to his senses.

Re: Dion
 

exile i think yeh nailed it spot on.

Re: Dion
 

unless there are things going on behind the scene we have no idea of the whole affair is very strange. dion on paper looks to have a very short memory as stanley gave him a chance to get back playing league football after his time in non league. you would have thought he would have appreciated that unless there are other factors involved.

Re: Dion
 

the only factor to me is STUPIDITY.

Re: Dion
 

I don't pretend to know more than nowt about transfer shananigans. However, where there's brass involved and agents it isn't difficult to imagine a scenario where it might have been whispered in the lad's ear that a bigger club move is on if the price tag can be slashed. Agents will not have any regard to club loyalty/fairness - nor do they attach the remotest importance to the fact that their moneyspinner is showing contempt towards his teammates. Spent too much time throwing his sel on the grass appealing to the ref for me.

Re: Dion
 

With Colby out, I wonder if we will see Dion on Saturday??

Re: Dion
 

I doubt it Joe!:(
If he does turn up though, Dion is more than welcome to come and stand with us in the Clayton End! I will lend him a red and white scarf. He can experience the Pride and the Passion of the Stanley Faithful and perhaps we can talk some sense into him!:jimbo::alright:

Re: Dion
 

yeh have to have a brain to talk sense to yon mon.and he aint got one.

Re: Dion
 

he might have got one but looks like someone who prefers to act on bad advice rather than good. if he,s not careful he,ll be back on the skid row of the non league scene.

Re: Dion
 

The recent interview with JC has at least thrown some light on the situation, but there are always 2 sides to every argument & so far we've only heard the clubs version.
Putting aside the actual value of any offer, 'if' another club did make a last minute bid for Charles, it would naturally make him think twice before signing any new contract.
All players want to play at a higher level & it stands to reason that it was probably; 1.A bigger club & 2.Paying higher wages.
What concerns me is that the rest of the squad may actually sympathise with Charles on the way he's subsequently been frozen out.
Perhaps he's not the only player who's withdrawn his labour?
Just a wild guess.

Re: Dion
 

how has he got a brain? if yer right and prefers to act on bad advice.

Re: Dion
 

£200k from Hibs on deadline day.

Poor offer, better Club.

Colby had an offer more than 3 times that from Peterborough.....

Whatever, things are not great :(



:) :) :)

Re: Dion
 

That Hibs offer branded about in the press wasn't true that's a fact from a very reliable source there was a derogatory offer from an unknown source at the last minute and was turned down flat which is the clubs perogative, what I would like to know is who decided he wasn't playing Dion or the club as said we have only heard one side of the story.Ihave heard of training ground bust ups other players not wanting to sign improved contracts and certain players not wanting to train.

Re: Dion
 

Which club made the offer & whatever was offered is irrelevant.
The point in question, if JC is to be believed, is that Charles only offered to re-sign if there was no bid forthcoming.
Of course the club are entitled to reject any offer, but the fact that someone showed interest would only convince Charles to hold back.
No one really knows if Charles has downed tools or has been frozen out by the club.
Simply trying to understand both sides of the argument.

Re: Dion
 

People are missing the point here that he his currently under contract if he refuses to play he breaches it the fact he is still here raises suspicion to me we aren't being told the whole story.

Re: Dion
 

That point is only relevant if he is refusing to play.
Unless you know something we don't?

Re: Dion
 

everything is just guess work. is he actually traing with the first team or actually training at all. is he available for selection, refusing to play or the management refusing to play him. for the success of the club something needs to happen quickly in january and not in the last few minutes of the window when its too late to replace him.

Re: Dion
 

At the recent forum AH confirmed Dion was training with the Youth Team.

Re: Dion
 

thats usually seen as a sort of punishment for a player if true.

Re: Dion
 

Did anybody else notice Wombles had a No. 32 called D. Charles - Darius......?

:) :) :)

Re: Dion
 

Doubt we'll see "the Dion" again. Just hope he goes in the January Window.....but not to a League 1 club......

Re: Dion
 

Dion is in the starting line up for this afternoons under 23's game - personally I wouldn't even put him on the bench but on the other hand, he should be doing something to earn his wages - sweeping up maybe??

Re: Dion
 

Now yer talking.

Re: Dion
 

Should be glad he didnt go to Hibs.

Re: Dion
 

Who should be ? Him or us ? Suddenly £200k looks attractive.

Re: Dion
 

actually anything would be now. get him off the books, save a wage for a replacement. at the moment its like owning a car thats knackered and beyond repair that you still tax and insure.

Re: Dion
 

That bid is just a guess my sources told me it wasn't Hibs a lower Scottish club with a derogatory bid I was told nobody might ever know the truth.
Don't be surprised if nobody wants him.

Re: Dion
 

Bolton being touted as interested in January.

Re: Dion
 

Can you imagine the chanting and songs from the away supporters on Monday 18th April..........

Re: Dion
 

if he went yon it will suit him the horrible get,

Re: Dion
 

For clarification,

Dion should be glad he did not sign for Hibs.

Re: Dion
 

Football league world reporting.this one if true take him we,ll have Delfonso as a swap Coleman's tried to sign him before.

Re: Dion
 

Insp Morse
Why ?
Mid table Premiership club paying an average of three times more than we do.
Would have suited him down to the ground.
More money and bench warming.

Re: Dion
 

if he goes to a premiership club i will eat hay with a donkey.

Re: Dion
 

Is that you inviting me out to Dinner Cashy? :D

Re: Dion
 

Aye, if you bring the hay

Re: Dion
 

I can do that, at least enough for him, I'll be chomping on Steak & chips! :D:D

Re: Dion
 

and i,ll become a vegan.

Re: Dion
 

Re: Dion
 

Couldn't give a flying f---- about him.

Re: Dion
 

i,d actually swap him for a couple of training balls as we could make use of them.

Re: Dion
 

Some suggestion of interest from Bolton, it seems ..... He may make a good Trotter, although whether it's Del Boy or Rodney I'm not sure

Re: Dion
 

Apparently after the question and answer evening with John and Jimmy Dion was offered an olive branch his response was he wants out of the club now unless someone isn't telling us something that attitude stinks good luck to anyone who signs him.

Re: Dion
 

anyone stupid enough to sign him will get what they deserve i reckon. big headed little runt.

Re: Dion
 

Definitely a Rodney, aka a proper plonker

Re: Dion
 

Scottish Premiership Cashy. It was in reference to the alleged Hibs interest.
Scottish Premier = top half league one.

Re: Dion
 

aye thats like div 1 i reckon a couple of clubs could possibly hold a position yon but the rest no chance.

Re: Dion
 

take out the big glasgow 2 and the rest would be in a similar position in div.1 as they are in the scottish premier. go down to the bottom 2 divisions its our non league regional standard with smaller gates.

Re: Dion
 

Big headed little runt. Cashy are you using predicted text.

Re: Dion
 

again if dion had been a player who never knew anything in his life but being a league footballer i could give him a bit of slack. however after spending a few seasons on the non league scrap heap you would think he,d give stanley some slack because they put his career back on track. without stanley he could have easily been playing in the FA Trophy yesterday somewhere like alfreton.

Re: Dion
 

Looking like he,s going to Bolton in January they are welcome to him.

Re: Dion
 

good riddance if thats the case.

Re: Dion
 

thats a real career and lifetime move for him apart from the extra dosh. if he fails there his next move may be altrincham or chorley.

Re: Dion
 

…. that’s the end of the news, and here’s the weather forecast

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Dion
 

:( My mate plays for Alty, and he's a very nice young man.

Re: Dion
 

well i,ll say fylde instead of alty as i always have had a soft spot for them and do not wish him on them. where is our mate graham westley nowadays.

Re: Dion
 

That nice Mr. Westley, still on the dole queue as far as I know & deservedly so

Re: Dion
 

Read of FB that Dion gone to Bolton for a reported £300k, their welcome to him. No man is bigger than the team

Re: Dion
 

Apart from Y.F.B. :D

Re: Dion
 

“Who ate all the Pies?”……:s_boom:

Re: Dion
 

especially if they are not playing in it. if this is true he is a very lucky lad indeed. funny how football must be the only proffesion where some of the good guys do not prosper but the opposite types do.

Re: Dion
 

That & politics.

Re: Dion
 

Don't believe its a done deal.
Others dipping in and out.
Latest I've heard is Sunderland ?
He has to go this month but worth waiting a bit for the best price.

Re: Dion
 

He Dion will dictate where he ends up will probably want round here he,s certainly dictated to Stanley he wouldn't play.

Re: Dion
 

if sunderland do make an acceptable bid my moneys on them.

Re: Dion
 

No he won't the club is in total charge.
If he goes in January then it is for the club to accept or reject any offer.
He can sign a pre contract agreement now to move at the end of the season but will have to rot here until then.
He has to go from the club's perspective because his attitude etc around the camp will be toxic.
However it should be to the highest bidder - not whether its local for pipe and slippers Charles.

Re: Dion
 

The contract he signed for us meant nothing has he hasn't played since September whatever went on remains in the club unless Charles spills when he moves other players in their last six months of a contract play so it to me was something other.

Re: Dion
 

The contract means something until the club says it doesn't.
So that means its up to us - 1/ If he goes in January. 2/ Which bid is accepted.

Re: Dion
 

Or he could be awkward and wait until the summer if he doesn't like what the club decides going on present form that's a possibility.

Re: Dion
 

Quite agree Andy.....:(

He has pleased himself - and let himself/us/Stanley/Coley down - since September, doubt very much he will change now.......................

:) :)

Re: Dion
 

you must have read my mind. doubt the club is dealing with the average player here. wherever he ends up i wish him all the bad luck in the world now. some lads would sell their internal organs for the chance he got becoming a pro footballer.

Re: Dion
 

He will be gone. The interest is from clubs who may not be interested at the end of the season and are seeking to reinforce their striker options for a promotion push.

Re: Dion
 

sooner the better. imho.

Re: Dion
 

I didn't think he could sign a pre-contract now unless it was with a club from another association.

He can refuse to go to the highest bidder and honour his existing contract. The comments from Coleman saying he needs to sign a new contract if he wants to play, makes the club look in the wrong.
