On his day a very skill full player but I think Hurst knew there were a few rebels in the squad and fair play he as let them go. It looks as though they did not like being part of the squad and without discipline and respect you are going to struggle best outcome for all concerned. Time to move on.

No coincidence really that he's left shortly after Aswad, is it? In my opinion. We don't need any more Brodie situations.

Think that release explains the signing of Jolley. Congratulations to all of the management for ensuring he can't sign for anyone else in this league.

Quoted from LondonMariner43
It's a shame to see a top player go but at this stage in the season we need a tight knit squad who play for the team and work hard whether in the 1st 11 or they are back up.  I'd rather have a guy like Hamish who has travelled half way round the world to fight for a place on the bench, than guys who think they are too good to work hard, go round saying they are the best left back in non league, get homesick because they aren't used to being north of Watford or some other excuse.  We've seen in the past how the business end of the season can get derailed by having difficult personalities in the squad.  If we go up this season it's gonna be in the play offs and that requires mental strength, teamwork and desire throughout the squad.


This. Even though I'm gutted to see Neilson go.  I was always genuinely excited to see him on the pitch - but nonetheless THIS.  Love your description of Hamish. It's exactly the ethic I hope Hurst is extolling.  Bad pennies can do one.

We don't need him, we've got plenty of wingers to replace him with, Paddy (if needed in that position), Jolley, Mackreth, Arnold.

There is it seems a fascinating correlation between out and out lower league football talent and fragility of character -  a la Thomas and Neilson.  They are where they are because of their inability to be the players they could be. QED

Sad to see him go but he is another example of a footballer who has the talent but not the application or work ethic.

What makes you think that ?  Hurst has never said as such.

And to be fair, we don't know they were rebels do we ?

We are only guessing, and listening to endless rumour.

No idea what's gone on, but such a shame and as said above, a waste

Put all three of them on the pitch at the same time still not worth one Neilson.
Should have used him more IMO but don't think Hurst likes flair players.  
Good luck to the lad what ever he does next.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
