Connell: we signed him for nothing; his goals ensured we didn't have a relegation fight first time round in the BSP; we sold him for a good price. Nothing to complain about IMHO.

Wouldn't be surprised if our "replacement" for AC is a right-sided midfielder - to liberate Coulson to be a striker. Reckon he's good enough to score regularly in this league. Still think we'll be challenging for promotion.

So nice to finally put it all to bed, I think many of us had a feeling, especially with clubs sniffing around that Connell was starting to get cold feet and any league club that came in would be hard to resist. I think with Liam Hearn we have a natural replacement with the added pace and strength to his game as well.

Of course I think we are in need of another striker, something I'm sure S&H will have up there sleeve, although I pray to god its not SWD!

Anyway, while I'm disappointed (naturally after losing our 29 goal striker) I think we all had a gut feeling this would happen and this should do nothing to dampen the mood, IMO Alan Wouldn't have come as good as last season anyway under all the pressure and hero status so 150k is fantastic for the club.

And before any of you GIMPS come to gloat, just look at your team first, what a mess you lot are.

Still optimistic as ever and would like to take this time to thank Alan for his effort while here!

Good luck Al!


Brilliant post, good luck al, thanks for last year


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

I was also thinking we'd sign a right mid and put Coulson up front.

Tbh the Fishy has done me a favour here. I'd got so bored of all the Connell discussion that I became numb about the whole thing and now I'm just not that bovvered.
Cheers Fishy!
£150k is a good deal if true, we did ok out of him in the end.


Agreed.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I'm just wondering if the figure was 150k, If they touted that figure around 3 weeks ago then it may be even higher. The Dons did say he was priced
out of the market, maybe Swindon increased their bid because of this info.

It is ironic that there has been so much discussion by the fans about one player, when the new managers want the players to play together as a team and team spirit is paramount.  

They can now bring in their own striker that fits into their overall aims, tactics and playing style.

The Club moves foreward without Alan. Thank you for last season.
