Clements to Barrow

Quoted from GrimRob

8 goals in 42 games for us last season, and not a single appearance this one. It wouldn't be so bad if we'd actually been any good for most of the season! Inexcusable not to get the most out of your best players.

We have only played 9 league games Rob,

He missed most of pre season and is or was overweight,

So not surprised he has not had a game yet,

According to those Facebook posts he only missed two weeks. How much pre-season did Woodford, Hooper etc. miss and they slotted straight in?

The most important thing about Clements was he chipped in with some valuable goals  thus far our midfield as failed to do this.

I can't be bothered to personally but if you looked back through some "just back" threads from last season I don't think you'd find that many complimentary posts about Clements. Not that he was slated on here but many weren't convinced.

I thought he did ok and improved us but I seem to remember most saying he didn't really do a lot and wasn't better than what we already had. Now he's not in the team and being let go you'd think he was the League Two Steven Gerrard judging by the reaction on here.

If he'd wanted to be here I would have had him in and around the team but we can still do better than him if we're wanting to build a promotion team.

I'm happy having players at the Club who want to play for GTFC.

The comments in the screenshot of a facebook discussion seem to indicate he did want to stay. A bit convoluted, but there you go.

There are always two sides to every story but it seems a bit daft to (allegedly) be telling fibs about a player's fitness if you just don't fancy him as a player.

Very bizarre situation.

More lies and deceit,nothing new there with slade and fenty

He may have decided to loan Clements out in a bid to get him fit and interested again.

With such a big squad as ours IS this sort of thing is likely to happen with others who may be second, third or even forth in the pecking order.

How Slade keeps all those players hungry is must be difficult.  Tombola has not done a lot wrong he must be a bit disappointed as well.

Or he may have been told to reduce the wage bill? But then why would you tell the player you don't fancy him and then tell the press (and hence the fans) that he isn't fit? The one thing that the club seems very good at is being economical with the truth.

Quoted from friskneymariner

I as a season ticket holder are certain questioning how long I will keep attending  with this clown in charge.
Not one for making meaningless gestures but as long as we attend we are colluding with the situation.I am on the point of not attending as long as Slade is in charge,sadly the only thing J.F appears to understand is falling gates.

I'm not so sure about that even. I know there's the bung from the League to compensate, but he hasn't taken any notice of the Trophy boycott.

Are Barrow spending a good bit of money? If they were willing to take his reportedly high wages on, it might explain one or two things.

It might be that Slade thinks he's not worth what he's earning and is therefore trying to get him off the books.
