Personally I think there's been an overreaction to this. Wait out until he's out the door or back in the squad before we slag off our own player without knowing a single fact.

We know that he wasn't required to move closer than Birmingham. That's not his fault, but shocking the club has agreed a 2.5 year contract with a player that lives 2.5 hours away.

Reading Slades explanation it doesn't appear that there is an ulterior motive and it is an overreaction by us mistrusting supporters so I apologise to all concerned.  P.S.  I still don't believe he will play for us again.

Slade knows a good player when he sees one (cue Woolford/Dixon jibes) and Osbourne will be back playing for us soon
He'd rather have a 100% fully focused and fit player than someone who has personal issues distracting him

'Huge over-reaction shocker' on Fishy - very rare for that to happen

Comes a point where conspiracy theories have to be ditched because what incentive would Slade have to lie to the fans over something like this...he'd lose all credibility

Keep your powder dry... he'll be back in January and firing on all cylinders!

If he has personal difficulties it's none of our business. All this speculation is pointless because no-one knows the real story, and nor should they.  Only he and his employer, the club, should know what they are. Let's just hope that they can be resolved so he can come back, because for me he, along with Dembele, is the most skillful player on the books.

I agree but when you talk of such things on social media your inevitably court speculation.

Quoted from HertsGTFC


Not really as when Bignot took over we where actually in a better position in the league, had a balanced squad, good morale and a team of players who appeared to take pride in playing for GTFC and for each other. Bignot dismantled a lot of that within weeks, disengaged numerous senior players, the football at times was shocking and the selections even more barmy e.g. dropping Pearson and Collins for the home game versus Donny. Only one of his signings (Jones) is in contention less than a year after Bignot's first window. As much as people criticize Slade and sometimes it's warranted he's having to clear up a lot of the mess Bignot left behind as the wage bill is too big. He's got a tune out of last seasons scapegoat and we are getting better but in reality will only progress with more comings and goings.

As much as the Slade out brigade would like to they cannot turn this matter into his fault as only the player and the club know the true facts. Absolutely should he be in a GTFC shirt in an ideal world, definitely but would you want a player in the side and around the training ground daily who was unhappy and din't want to be here? Jamey has said he's got personal matters to deal with if the reason his loan extension had been agreed was just to get him ready for a move why would he say that?

Earlier in the season Slade gave Matt some space for something that went on at home and that worked as Matt's starting to look like he'll make a difference, Hurst did the same with Nathan when his mum passed away so we just have to trust that Slade knows better than us in terms of player management & welfare. We want players to want to be here otherwise you just end up with more Dominic Vose's around the place.

  


So will our next manager have to clear up the mess of players like Hooper, Kelly, Woolford, Dixon, K. Osborne?

Quoted from GrimRob


You are always going to get unhappy footballers when there are only 11 starting places. The squad is too big. It has been ever since Hurst left. That doesn't explain everything but it goes a long way.


If that's the case then surely you must question Slade's credibility in signing so many players who either can't get in the starting eleven or even on the bench.
