Many would like to see him back at Boston .


He's better than that level. I hope he gets an EFL club, he was rated by many as up there with the best keepers in league Two only 2/3 seasons ago, he's only 32.

Are Boston full time? No disrespect.

Surely there’ll be plenty of takers for Sousa in the conference. There would be for Wright too if he had a decent fitness record. Still a bit sad, reality aside, that these two aren’t Mariners anymore. 🫤

He was never up there with the best keepers in L2. His shot stopping perhaps but too many flaws in the rest of his game. He may only be 32 but his form has been on a terminally downwards trajectory for at least the last three seasons.

i thought hat he was beginning his teaching career, so the part time opportunity at Boston was ideal?

Disagree, but that's okay.

Macca is decent and will forever be remembered as one of our better keepers but surely, if he was as good as we believe, other clubs would’ve taken a punt on him, even if Macca turned them down.

Sadly, I’d argue that Boston is his level now or perhaps a mid table conference side.

We dropped him, clearly for more than just form reasons but it didn’t hurt us. Crocombe wasn’t regarded as being anything special yet came in and helped take us up, proving I guess that keepers don’t need to be brilliant. That said, Macca is 32 and rumours of back issues and so on, career changes and what not mean it’s unlikely a league club will fancy him.

He gave us his all and will be rightfully remembered but he’s gonna and we’re moving in an upward trajectory…

York have offered McKeown a trial.

" i cant afford to go a month without being paid"

Sorry James, i like you, you've been a good servant, but you've had a testimonial year, been paid handsomely for years, someone in your position can certainly afford to go a month without!

Professional footballers all know that one day they will have to hang their boots up, later than sooner for most if they are injury-free. Common sense should tell them to prepare for that day and not wait till the writing is on the wall.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I would hazard the agenda has been driven by Sky as poverty porn gets attention. A massive kitchen and a double garage hardly convinced me he was poor. I know we live to our means but surely a lower league footballer at 32 should know their best salary is behind them.

He doesn't stop getting paid today though, the way it works is that we will pay his wages either until the end of this month or until he gets fixed up if he signs for someone this month. Once August hits, he will need reminding that fans attended numerous testimonial events that raised him a decent sum of money if he's still unemployed.
