Will this club ever progress? We lose our best players, season after season. It's what happens when you employ a numpty for a manager and d1ck around at the bottom of the league. Had we been pushing the other way and knowing we would be at least a league 2 club next season, we could have handed him a new contract sooner, before other teams were allowed to talk to him. Looks like another POTY is set to leave.


I don’t disagree but most league 2 clubs lose their better players in the end.

Not if they get promoted.

Just a very innocent question. How many players left the club after promotion from the Conference to L2 a couple of years ago? And how many were out of contract and were any not deemed good enough for the Football League?

(As an aside Borehamwood v Fylde, play-off eliminator on BT tonight. These are just good non leaguers. Borehamwood average 600 and they are delighted with the 'crowds flocking to watch them'. When compared with teams with FL tradition such as ourselves, Wrexham, Tranmere, Donny (in the past), Lincoln etc I don't think the minnows should be in the FL. Is that a a poor attitude on my behalf> I feel that we are a FL club and should never be in the dreaded, awful, terrible Conference)

All this talk about should have given a new deal sooner, to a player who would have been a Shrewsbury player had the two clubs agreed a fee for Macca.
Macca showed his hand last season, loyalty has long got in football nowdays.
If Macca has an offer on the table in 2/3k per week region, no way should town match it, however a 2 yr contract with 1 yr extension an a increase on his current wage to take him to a testimonial season.
What ever Maaca decides he has been a good servant for the club and owes us nothing.
I wish him all the best, hope he stays.

In his own words here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0664xyn

Says it is 50/50 and he's obviously been offered more money and is waiting to see if we can give him enough to make him stay here. Could be his last game on Saturday. Had more than 1 offer from elsewhere.

He's very fair in that interview. Nice lad. Him, Sean and Dizza seem to be out of the same mould in that regard. Done us proud over 7 years. You've got to wish him the best in whatever decision he makes. But it'll be sad to see him go.

Extra big cheers for him on Saturday.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
