Seems Russ has been trying to offload him for a while but, previously at least, Boyce refused to drop to the Conference. Obviously no league club fancied him.

Why does it make the Pearson decision more baffling? Please explain...

Because 2 months ago we knew that eastleigh would come in for Boyce?

Slade and Wilko are not stupid, and will have something lined up

I expect the Morrocan guy to sign now, as he can play CB & CM and then another CB

Too pretty to be a league 2 centre back. Hopefully replaced by a nutcase with an anchor tattoo rather than one of these new fangled fashionable sleeve things.

Makes me even more angry about Shaun Pearson leaving now. Certainly wasn't a fan of him leaving at the time but accepted as an unfortunate inevitability with players being held on longer contacts make them technically 'dead weights' that we couldn't do a great deal with - Boyce being one of these players in question.

However, if we knew there was a possibility that Boyce was leaving, letting Shaun Pearson go - a phenomenal servant to the club on and off the pitch and still arguably our best centre back (certainly good enough for a team chasing the play offs at this level) leave the club - it cant be described as nothing shorter of ridiculous.

Admittedly its a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' and situations in Football change constantly however from an outsiders perspective, not knowing what goes on inside the football club - it certainly looks like this could have been the case.

Best of luck Boyce

Good, wasn't good enough never the same player after his injuries. The shop lists grows though


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Shaun decided HE could not wait, move on.

Everybody agrees he was a good servant on and off the pitch, but that's football these days. Good luck to the lad.

Agents call the shots.

We have 2 centre backs who have played all their careers at a higher level. Pearson is a great bloke but the highest he got was mid table League 2. If we want to move up the leagues, there will be casualties, that's footy.

Pearson went back to non league, as did Boyce, so that should tell you all you need to know.
