How much did they offer him if it wasn't an improved offer, and how do you know they didn't make him an improved offer ?

Whatever they offered obviously wasn't enough, improved or otherwise.

What we offered him was probably the best offer we could make considering our financial position and if someone offers him more then they can obviously afford it. It's unfortunate that he's gone but it's not the end of the world. Plenty more players without clubs out there.
 
Sad to see he has gone but at least it's for a league one club. Says a lot of how far we have come. Good luck to him and this gives a good opportunity for another player to step in. Not the best advert to lose a player but at least shows that you can catch the eye playing for Stanley.
 
Phil has been nothing short of a revelation for Stanley always played with his heart on his sleeve has been a great servant and Mr. Consistency for Stanley.

All the best Phil
 
Let's face it, we missed our chance at promotion and the players that have the ability to play at a higher level will move on this summer should offers come their way. We can hope that players don't see the grass as greener but personally I think any player offered a chance to play at a higher level would be foolish not to take it. Thanks for everything Phil. Best of luck to yourself & Danielle. You're welcome back any time. A dodgy tan... :)

Didn't see this coming, and good luck to him,although I never thought he was a stevenage type of player, ps anyone heard gornell goin inverness ?
 
Now starting to get very worried by the lack of signings and the players leaving. All we need now is proctor to leave and the spine of our team will be crushed
 
cant believe we have lost Edwards, Ryan, Gornell. Edwards was our best defender by far and will be very hard to replace.Hope this doesnt start the role now. Doesnt instill much confidence for next season. Would like to be at preseason tomorrow to see if anyone other than Craney, mc Conville and Murphy turn up.Just shows how the payment structure or lack of it has hit the players. I wish them all well but not when they play against us.

Nobody turning up tomorrow. They waiting until Wednesday for the new recruits :)
 
I suppose we will have to wait and see as you say New Red as to who assembles for pre-season.

Still early days yet and as Shaker points out further up the thread certain player have shown their capabilities and certainly deserve their chance at pastures new.

A players career can be relatively short and change in the blink of an eye and sometimes those opportunities may not come around again.

The challenge again for everyone this season is too prove the critics wrong and improve on last season:)
 
Fair play to Phil for getting the chance at League One level, and I hope he does well.

Just a shame its with those clowns. :(
 
ABSOLUTELY GUTTED !!!!
For me Phil is a LEGEND !!!!
He will go down as one of our very best servants in our modern era. Hardly missed a match in years, hard as nails, a real battler, a very clever defender and a no nonsense old fashioned penalty taker. Also a superb example to other players around him. One of his greatest assests is his vision and ability to read how opponents are shaping an attack. He moves into position long before others have sussed out the play. This skill to read the situation has enabled himto outplay virtually all opposing forwards most of whom "dwarf" him. I fully understand Phil going up a division and probably for much better pay.
I would like to pass on my thanks for his fantastic service to Stanley and wish him the best for the future, (except if he plays against us of course!)
 
good luck Phil and thanks for the memories (particularly all those against Morecambe)


on the subject of penalties it really is a shame that Gornell has gone as I believe he wanted to take penalties last year - imagine if he'd been able to convert all Phil's and add them to his own tally! Certainly should be going to better clubs than Invershaggingness!

Not so sure about that, Macca! Playing in front of a full house at Ibrox or Celtic Park has a certain appeal. Cally have a nice new stadium in a wonderful area.

“But the club have had better players than me before, so they will move on.

“I hope they do well.”

That's highly debatable Phil. A true gent. Good luck mate.
 
very sad at this news (especially with it being to Stevenage) but really can't blame him for moving to a higher league and I wish him all the best for the rest of his football career and a very happy future for him and Danielle (real genuine couple).

They will always have a place in the stanley family and I very much doubt anyone would disagree with that!!

Keep up with the johnson's holiday sun phil as sunbeds are no longer your favoured tanning option :D
