Hi guys,
not going to get into an arguement over this as that's not my style. But what do people think Yeovil have done wrong in this?
It seems that we made a bid through the proper channels, which your chairman chose to tell the press about and then rejected the offer. Now Yeovil seem to have gone back with a couple more bids.
Doesn't seem anything wrong in that?
But maybe I've missed something.
Good luck for the forthcoming season. Still remember our first League game at Rochdale in 2003.

It sound to me like the two clubs haven't agreed a fee therefore yeovil haven't been given permission to talk to the player, but somehow Gary seems to know what wages he'll be on at yeovil and what the terms of that deal are.
Whether its yeovil tfc that have spoken to him, Anthony Barry talking to his mate Gary or gary's agent getting those figures from wherever he would get them from, It all sounds a bit dodgy to me and kind of like an illegal approach.
I am surmising this however from Erics radio interveiw and reports in the papers so 2+2 may eqaul 56 and I could be totally wrong. But then again.......

Well one thing that doesn't make sense is the suggestion that he'd be on a very good wages at Yeovil. We are not high wage payers, and would have been in the bottom 5 wage payers last season.

Nice juicy appearance bonus maybe..I have to agree with Sparkie here, Eric says that Gary is only going for the money which must mean Gary knows what he would get there..If Yeovil have done wrong by tapping him up/making an illegal approach then i'm sure Eric and the Club will be in contact with the FA if they feel they have done wrong..

Why would Hereford take an interest?
...it's not like he looks like a sheep from behind is it?
...baffled

We released 2 players, no one has been sold as of yet.
They may all be jumping ship down in Wales but our lads seem to be fully on board.
...and who's fighting?

Eric does seem to be upset about the situation. Here's another quote from the BBC website:
"Gary has decided he wants to move because of the offer Yeovil have made him. They are working through an agent. But I would prefer to make him sit on his backside for a year, because he has 12 months left on his contract."
"Gary has decided he wants to move because of the offer Yeovil have made him. They are working through an agent. But I would prefer to make him sit on his backside for a year, because he has 12 months left on his contract."
I know that we will eventually settle on a fee for him, but it would be nice if chairmen and managers actually started carrying out threats like these. It would make more players actually respect the contracts they've signed and reduce the influence of these transfer-seeking, commission-chasing agents. 
Don't think they will let him sit on his backside for 12 months, coz then we wouldn't get a bean for him, better to have him sold now for a fee however much they settle on.

That is not strictly true. The players that Turner offered good contracts to have all re-signed. Those that have left have chosen to stay in the Conference apart from Ryan Green who had several "issues" locally and may have found life in Hereford a little difficult! We offered contracts to all players U24 - that does not mean we wanted or expected all players to stay. If you look at what happened to Chester and Barnet when they went up it is clear that the transition to league football does require a cull of players. Also, remember that Graham turner has been doing this a lot longer than John Coleman and has far more experience to call on. We will be fine, no-one has jumped ship although a few have walked the gang-plank.
He doesn't and won't have to because he would not suit this club. Attitude, behaviour and performance leave him woefully short. Time will tell.
One has to question the guy's commitment to Stanley. Often great on the pitch, but to turn up late for a championship celebration, ever heard of that before?
The club should take what it can get and move on.
