Just heard JT on Sports talk.
Key points included
- he understands that in the past week or so we have been trying to pay off other contracts but nothing has materialised.
- RS wanted to keep him but budget constraints and the contracted players made it impossible.
- Bignot had offered him a deal but wouldn't sign it because of Bignot.
- We will all be shocked by who he's going to sign for.
All veey interesting.
In a good way I'm hoping that means?

How can budget constraints make it impossible, we only have one centre back we need four, if Slade had really wanted him we would have signed him.
If the budget is really fubar then we need to ship out two of those centre mids asap. Don't Macc want Summerfield back, surely someone will take him even if we have to pay up a proportion of his wages.
I can't help but think some of PH signings last summer are proving real millstones.
Exactly my thoughts. If we wanted to keep him, we would, unless he has been made a much better offer elsewhere and we can't or won't match it. We will still need centre backs regardless of whether he stays or goes, and i assume one of similar or better quality would cost the same in wages as Shaun. Only other option is someone on a season long loan from a higher club with them paying a whack of his wages. Doesn't make sense to me if we are saying we can't keep him because we have too many players to offload.

Go listen to it again and dont tell lies. No mention of all of " not signing it due to Bignot"

This has very bad omens for next season.
What on earth are you on about? How can you make that assertion about a centre half (who is a great pro and an all round good egg) who wasnt a regular in the last 2 seasons? Why will that affect next season when we have a new squad with better players?

If PB or PH had been the managers that were letting Sean go most of the posters on here would have been screaming at them for being clowns or clueless. But because it's the wonderful " nearly man " RS then it's ok to let one of the better centre-backs in this league ( and one who has consistently improved his game ) go to another club !!
Nah, I just made the point based upon the fact he is a football manager and despite what we may think he is better placed than we are to make decisions on players.

Can't help thinking Slade is looking at a virtually new team build that is one hell of a gamble.
Here was me thinking we had a strong nucleus certainly a solid defence and needed just a couple of decent signings to improve things this coming season.
Dis was regrettable but understandable given his age but Pearson is a quality defender in anybody's eyes and at the peak of his career.
At the very least he was a more than capable squad man and would ALWAYS GIVE 100%. Best skipper we never had great man to have in the dressing room and so experienced and solid on the field.
Shaun never ever wanted away and forced his way back into the first team deservedly so. This must go down as one of the worst decisions of recent years.
He may have been, but how could you know, this is a massive assumption and unless anyone is regularly in a team's dressing room they couldn't have a clue about the dressing room's dynamics and who the big characters are.. We couldn't have had too many great men in the dressing room at half time last season, only picking up four points from a possible sixty after going behind in games.

Will correct now, apologies. Have to blame my rushed typing on a noisy train home from uni and the autocorrect on my phone for that one though.
Didn't realise this was an English class though. Have you nothing better to do with your life?
No I don't have anything better to do. We didn't have technology to blame for our errors in my day.

Fervent up of being lied to by the club I don't but the BS about the budget being too small. It'd be easy to get rid of them, just offer them for transfer for a nominal fee, simple, somebody is bound to take them. Boyce is crap simple as. Huge mistake losing Pearson. It's always one step forward and 10 back at GTFC. Is debt collection friends with Becchetti at Orient?
No I don't have anything better to do. We didn't have technology to blame for our errors in my day.
My fault for not proof reading it. Couldn't care less what you did or didn't have in your day.
