This is obviously a good thing but I somehow feel a bit sorry for him. It wasn’t his fault that he was offered a contract when he clearly wasn’t up to it. He simply shouldn’t have been signed!

Let it be known I broke this news before hobbers m9s.
Bizarre signing, even more bizarre resigning.
Oh Stuart, were things really that bad?

Agreed. McCall fought to sign him, given he wasn’t likely to have had any offers you can’t blame him for going where he was wanted. This one’s on McCall and our shitpot recruitment.

I was surprised when Barnsley picked him up from us a few years ago. I think it was worth taking a punt this time last year to see if he'd pushed on a bit. We were crying out for a bit of pace down the wing. It was clear from the few appearances last season that he was willing but just not quite good enough so to be given another season was crazy. Not even that fast to be a useful impact sub. I don't think he'll be troubling the National League level, I think his future lies in shitkicker land.

I’d like to know the real reason recruitment was so unbelievably bad last summer. McCall? Rhodes? Rupp? Something wasn’t right at the club.

It was the standard short term shite setup rolled over for seasons on end given to a particularly bad manager and one who thought blind loyalty could transmute dogshit to gold. The one time we tried to go longer term we gave control to a crazy Serb who carried on our proud tradition of signing players we’d be struggling to get rid of at the end of each season. It was never good enough; hasn’t been for years and McCall was never the man to fix it.

I’d like to know the real reason recruitment was so unbelievably bad last summer. McCall? Rhodes? Rupp? Something wasn’t right at the club. I'd go back further and say why was it so bad in January 2020? There was at least one signing Bowyer claimed to be totally in the dark about if I remember? McCall must have had a hand in those signings before he replaced Bowyer. Stuart said in summer he was also acting as a scout on an ipad - so not a crazy idea he was involved in some manner before he returned as manager given his association to the club amd Rhodes. DMH (twice), Novak - players he worked with before, the lad from Rangers where he had that connection... and you wonder if he had any involvement in the Guthrie signing - could be a reason why he wanted him to stay in the summer? McCall knew it would he tight in the summer, and the restriction of the salary cap and uncertainty around covid led him to take an ultra-cautious, low cost approach to transfers and he suffered badly for it. He may have thought the fans would have accepted it on the basis of the gravity of the overall situation, buy we couldn't accept the sort of shit he was responsible for.

I did laugh at this. Does that make me indirectly a bully?
Mind you...
Someone called them out on it and they're trying to backpedal as they so often do.

Best of luck to him, he was never good enough and he's found his level. Unlike, say, Josh Wright, he did try his best. I blame McCall and not him.

I guarantee they won’t have a twattish DM this morning. DMH isn’t league standard, hardly his fault we gave him a contract twice, he did what any sane person would do and took the money.
