Text from the club

Good luck to him where ever he goes,

A loan to the end of the season would be good for us,

Then he can not play against us this season.

Quoted from Chrisblor

A high quality replacement left back is needed urgently then. Playing Parslow on a regular basis will not get us promoted. Am I convinced Hurst will be able to attract a suitable replacement? Err...

If there is one position on the pitch I am confident that Hurst can find a good replacement it is in the defensive areas.

The whole saga stinks to me . Sounds like he's engineered a move by acting like a to.sser . Sod off Aswad , if you think your better than gtfc go and prove it .

Agree with Louth here. If he wants to leave us in the lurch then he can just ram it and please don't turn around!

I wonder if part of the Club's thinking behind signing him off for a month is that if we do end up releasing him in a month's time (i.e. after January) he won't be able to sign for another club until the summer?

.Christ, who needs enemies when you've got friends like this!
ffs he's been signed off with stress. people do suffer with stress/depression/anxiety attacks/depression/mental illness believe it or not, and just because he is a professional footballer doesn't make him immune. In fact i think there are certain studies which suggest that sports people may be more susceptible to mental trauma.
leave the bloke alone, he's done us no harm at all and i'm sure many of us will remember him fondly. i hope he's given space and time to recover and comes back a happier more contented person.

Would he not be a free agent then and able to sign for whomever he wishes?

Would just like to say that whatever issues he has, hope he gets himself sorted and back on his feet. Very good player at this level when on song.

Good luck Aswad, when you were good, you were very good.

But if we cancel his contract he would be a free agent wouldn't he and able to join who he likes.

Agree with Forza, having seen what stress can do to people this is very sad.

I hope that no one in your family louth-in-the-south get it, I would hate to have to rely on you for support to get through it.

Good luck & thanks Aswad, hope you get well soon.

Well said, some people need a reality check. The lad is a human being after all. We're still in the transfer window and Hurst has known about this issue for longer than any of us. I'm sure he'll bring in a new left back.
