is he on decent wages?

is Hunt still our highest earner? Heard Gornells wage matched what Hunt is on.
 
Good on the lad for wanting to stay - who knows, maybe him & Coley have sorted out any differences they might have had?
Hope his persistence pays off for him - I suppose only time will tell
 
Yes it's just werid he doesn't fit in colys eyes under Beattie I thought he was one of the best players

Should have taken the move, regardless of wanting to stay and fight for his place, which is a pointless exercise anyway as it's clear he wasn't in Coleman's plans and doing this is probably the final nail in his coffin.

He'll get a rollocking tomorrow morning and I doubt he'll be seen in a matchday squad between now and the end of the season, barring some sort of crisis.

Suspect that he'll be offered a mutual termination of his contract in the summer, too. He should definitely take that and try to move on in his career because it's all been downhill for him since Beattie left.

You seem to know a lot about it!
So he should accept being forced out and ostracised of he doesn't go with a smile on his face, what a crock. If what you say is true fair play to the lad for standing up to the terrible twosome.
 
Joint top scorer irish international and a bright future a head of him,dont blame him turning down the chance to go on loan to southport.if he does go theres not much cover left up front. I do agree thou that he goes to ground alot.

Very strange u turn.
I can only think southport couldn't guarantee him starting every game,doesn't make sense to me.
The lad needs games and there's little difference between league two and conference.
 
:) Sounds better when you say your a league player and play for a league club!! And may be if he dropped down to the conference he'd be over looked by the irish fa...
 
Glad hes still here, but as far as i'm concerned, seems like another lad thats been treated like a piece of crap by the wonderful one.:rolleyes:
 
how do you know that? he just hasn't been picked. There are only 11 who can start a game football. people unfortunately have to miss out.
 
Has Marcus been treated badly? Bowerman? Hatfield? Windass (he's probably played a similar number of mins).....

Or do you have a direct line to all the thoughts and feelings of players in the squad?
 
I can understand gray being dropped for johnno, who made an impact and was pretty much playing in his accustomed role. In a similar way I get that gornell starts ahead of him. But I don't get the crooks situation and can see that as being insulting towards gray. Its almost like subbing the keeper for a midfielder to go in the nets..
 
Surely the best way to fight for your place is to show form while getting match practice at a good level? Seems like an unwise move to me but we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. Unlike others on here I wouldn't want to play pantomime and vilify the player or the manager :rolleyes:

That's true, Shaker, but how does that approach square with Mr.Carver's loan? He could get a hat-trick in six consecutive games for Barrow but that would do him no favours in fighting for his place at Stanley.
I just hope Messrs Coleman and Gray can sort things out. It's not many clubs that loan out their top scorer. But Gray has to man-up on the pitch and cut out the petulance that got him sent off at Oxford and the diving. And Professor Coleman will, I trust, respect Gray's determination to 'fight for his place', and to stand up to him (if the Southport loan was indeed the manager's suggestion), rather than hold a grievance for the rest of the season.
