Err....isn't it blatantly obvious that this is by some Town fan who's posted that after reading the balderdash on here???



Yep.
I'd still be gutted if it turns out to be true though.

You have signed Alan Connell for over £150,000 from Grimsby Town. Scored over 30 goals last season and had the most assists. Great player who Mariners fans will be upset to see depart.â€

I really hope this is Bullshite.  


If its fake then someone is a grade A twit.

As much as everyone would be sorry to see AC leave, the last thing we need for next season is a player who doesn't really want to be here - i suspect perhaps he was given assurances to move up here to the effect that we would  either get out of this league last season, or at least make the play-offs, we achieved neither and at 29 he is facing another year of BSP Football, 200 miles from where he would prefer to be, although if we were a league club i believe he would still stay.
If he wants to go and we get a decent offer we should allow it , get a replacement and move on - I have followed GTFC for 4 + decades now since a young lad and have seen many good players come and go from GTFC, Alan Connell is one, but the club is bigger than any one player and i just hope IF he goes we d'ont get ridiculous vitiol aimed at the Managers/Chairman ( i honestly belive all of them would prefer him to stay) and the obligatory slagging off of his replacement at every opportunity by the usual suspects..
If we want to get out of this league everyone has to pull together.

Money isn't everything, but for a footballer and someone offers you £500+ more a week even, it would be hard to not want to leave, plus if it's nearer home etc.

Good luck to him if he goes, if he stays all the better, lifes a biatch.

Straight out of the John Fenty PR handbook...

Already some fans are more bothered about defending the club at all costs than criticizing any lack of ambition.
Yes I know we've shown ambition already, so why penny pinch for another 200K ? (especially when we're paying a fee for Hearn)
Remember there's no prizes for spending £900K and finishing 6th !

Also you say "the club is bigger than any one player"(a tired old cliche) but you also say you believe they want him to stay.
Nice contradiction !

So why didn't he sign a one year contract or have a "non promotion" getout clause then ?
It's very simple - he only goes if we let him go.
And there's no evidence he isn't happy here. Even if he isn't, he's no sulker and it's in his own interests to do well !

A few opinions on the messageboards won't affect anything.
You're trying to blame the fans for arguably poor decisions already !  

I thought he was staying but the fact the cavalry have already stepped in is concerning me...
