Sean Scannell

Quoted from Bigdog

You'd better give Hurst a call and tell him that he's wasting his time and budget with Scannell then. You're obviously more in the know when it comes to it than the GTFC manager is..

You've got a lack of empathy because you've had no first hand experience..

He was signed by IH on a 3 year deal, making it difficult to release from his contract without paying a large settlement.  So PH probably decided to work with him (and why not he has the ability after all), but like others have said, no question about his ability.  You only have to look at the number of times he was available for selection to understand the situation you dont need PH for that.

Wow. Bigdog really does have a big bee in his bonnet tonight. Unless he IS Sean Scannell then I'm guessing everyone is wrong with their comments......


.......apart from him.

Please give him the respect he thinks he deserves.

I was thinking of doing a showreel for him from last season.....

......but it wouldn't last more than 30 seconds and 25 seconds of that would be him running out onto the pitch before he got injured again......and again etc

Time for him to do a male private Whittington. Sling a stick over your shoulder with your boots hanging off it and walk off into semi-professional or amateur football where they can train less.

A fit (ish) Scannell would rip this league up.

The sad thing is that this is probably the fourth year in a row that's been written on a messageboard.

Another fooking idiot who knows nothing..

Well it takes one to know one. as the saying goes.

What a crock of crud BD!..I've had more experience than I care to discuss with you, including my fiancee who was retired due to I'll health... basically wasn't fit enough to do her job efficiently and reliably...
I've all the empathy in the world but a line in the sand has to drawn somewhere, my god I feel for Scannell, he's obviously got a cracking attitude and wants to get fit but you cannot hide from true, hard facts.

It's so frustrating and it must be even more so for Scannell who has barely kicked a ball for the last 5 seasons.

You certainly have to question what due diligence we did when we signed him.

Hurst has decided to keep him around the main squad and with his experience, he's probably great for our wide players to learn off but you really can't see him playing 10 games for us this season.

I feel that we have a player with time left on a legally binding contract.

If Sean has been for independent medical tests and treatments, then there must be an unbiased medical report, and recommendations in place to get him back to fitness.

If Town are keeping to that programme and Sean is doing what is prescribed, then we have no choice but to try to get him fit to play.

However, at some point, there needs to be a point where medical retirement becomes the only option and insurance payouts are made to the player and his professional status ends.

Question - does the payout made to the player close off the remaining money of the contract signed ?

I don't know, so am asking?

Is that a final solution?

To put this into context, we’re still paying Rose and Morais.

Unfortunately !

I don't see him getting in this team or even on the bench anyway
