Coulson rejects deal

Good points Tommy, marinerz so perhaps minds have already been made up like I suggested.

aaron I don't think Church is contracted but he came on as sub.
Artus isn't contracted either and he started but I did say "largely".
Does that help answer your question ?

Bad news I think. Some think Coulson is a bit indifferent in his performances. However I maintain that he wouldn't be getting England C call ups if he wasn't one of the best players at our level.

I would also ask this. If we can't offer him enough money to stay, who else is there out there that we can sign that is going to be any better than Coulson? I would say nobody for the money we offering Coulson. This is a worry as I can see him being snapped up and coming back to haunt us like so many of the other players that have done this over the years.

Do you know what Coulson is on or what he was offered in his new deal ? I'm very confident that The Dynamic Duo will find a replacement equally as good as Coulson and on less money. They have been working in the non-league scene for several seasons now and will have a good idea of who they want.

Gutted to be losing Coulson I think he is pure quality and cant understand some of the stick he gets on here, 18 assist and 10 goals is very good!, looking at some of his tweets it sounds like he doesn’t want to leave but doesn’t want to take a pay cut. I think he deserves a 'send off' from the fans (if that’s what you would call it) against Southport, even if he doesn’t play   

I wouldn't be surprised if Malkreth barrows winger comes in for the same amount coulson use to be on. Having said that keep your eyes on Luton signing everyone and anyone lol

we couldnt offer him the money to stay because if im right hes one of, if not the highest paid player? as when we signed him on the permanent deal the first season in the bluesquare our wage budget was considrably bigger because we'd just come down from the league and the club probably expected to go back up within a season or 2, now its our 3rd season in the BSP and the wage budget we have now is alot less than what we had when we signed him. and i heard from a source that the reduced contract was only £50 less than what hes already earning ? im not sure how true that is, its just what ive heard. but going back to getting a replacement, we need to be looking at the semi-pro teams, with players on non contracts? there wages will be smaller and no fee will have to be paid and there is some very decent players, ive seen some really good players come here and play this season, this is just my opinion i know alot of you on here will probably disagree.

Disagreements on here Curley, surely not!!!

Haha it's inevitable someone will disagree!  

It's ok rejecting a contract but has he another club to go to ? I suggest that his head may have been turned by playing for England C . For all we know his agent would have been touting his name around league clubs . Not only to get a better deal for the player but to line his pocket aswell .

We all know that it's a short career as a pro footballer , so if he does go to pastures new all the best to him and we will welcome someone else to take his place . You never know , rough diamond and all that !

I hope he does OK. It sounds similar to Peter Bore's situation when he left, although I'd expect Coulo to find something a bit better than Bore managed.

When footballers retire who played in league 1 and below how do they get money in later life?
