I think some of the abuse Dixon is getting on here is a bit over the top in the circumstances.
It would be fair to say his performances were not up the the expectations of the fans for a player who has played in the Championship , SPL and for Scotland. Whatever the reasons were i dont know but his CV would suggest he was better than what we saw. i am sure he himself is disappointed with how it turned out. He's not that old tbf so i doubt it was just the fact he was past it. Perhaps other issues affected his play. But to call him one of the worst town players ever is a bit unnecessary.
At the end of the day he has agreed to leave and I wish him well wherever he ends up.

I agree totally. Like I said before the lad had two bad injuries in the 2 seasons before he came and that is why he was allowed to leave Huddersfield and hawk his services round on trial. His pedigree is excellent, he is only 31 so obviously something has affected him physically and weakened his game. Slade needed time to think about it before signing him and hoping that the lad would play himself back to fitness because finding another Connor Townsend is not easy. His lack of pace and his slowness on the turn are giveaways to his physical problems. His family being in Scotland isn’t the cause, that is just the icing on the cake. It didn’t work out but the bloke gave it a shot and he doesn’t deserve the stupid and pig ignorant abuse from some posters on here.

I was always very weary of him. Signing out of contract players a week before the season starts suggests that nobody wants them and we're the only half wits that would take him.

Robles was an odd signing. Wonder what the story is?

From what I understand, Fox's wife is from the states and his goal has always been to get a move across there and now he has an opportunity. Fair play to him if that's the case.

You were weary of him before he even arrived? You must have a very low boredom threshold. Maybe it's because you are super intelligent and are not one of the half-wits you mentioned.
