So to you stating "still surprised" equates to greatest player ever to put on a sky blue shirt?
Fair enough.

yes, Martin may have been consistent and yes he has definitely improved, but it doesnt take a genius to see that every time a free kick is put into the box or the opposition have a corner, we look like conceding.
So TM has probably decided that keeping Martin will not change that, and that he needs to go out and get a couple of big ugly physical centre halves. His job is to improve the team and as far as I can see , that is what he is trying to do.

Almost certainly.
Martin claimed dizziness on the coach I read I think. What a cop out from him but then cant blame him if he has been told to do one. Understandable.

Re Martin release - Can we remember this would of been a two way street, just because it says Martin has been released, it could of been Martin instigating from the start by saying he wants to move on, try pastures new, move location, family not happy in the midlands, their are numerous factors that come into play.
From a playing perspective, Im pretty sure Martin would of been out of the team had Cargill stayed fit, and I do not believe he was TM's cup of tea.
We also conceded far too many from set pieces last season ( at least 10-12 goals) so maybe TM felt he could afford to lose Martin ( who would of been on a fair wage after coming from Saints), TM maybe feels he can get better value for money.

dont be silly mate, we can only assume he was banging TM missus because no way he could be allowed to leave based on footballing reasons!

1st signing announced at 5pm. Guessing it's one of the ones offered contract. Ricketts my guess.

It doesn't say. Be surprised if it's a completely new signing this quick.

Surely this comment is some kind of joke I'm missing?
This website list academy no hopers like Josh Ruffels and Shaun Jeffers as on 10,000 euros a week.
Its about as reliable as me making up a load of random salaries.

Don't think Mowbray really fell out for JOB, I don't see Mowbray as the type to have bust ups with his players or heated arguments. With JOB I think Mowbray was happy with what JOB was contributing but JOB wasn't happy he was being rotated as well as living far from his family so asked to leave and Mowbray said ok fine.
With Martin, he's done a job for Mowbray this year but Mowbray doesn't think he is good enough so let him go. If we didn't have so many injuries in defence this year I think Martin probably wouldn't have been in the team for most of the season.

No idea but just noticed your new signature. Like it (even if it was Kieron who said it

No, not a joke I didn't look at any wages other than Fleck and Thomas.
Curious as to why something so comprehensive would be completely fabricated.
If I remember correctly Ruffels and Jeffers were talked up quite a bit before even the likes of Wilson. The wages for both do seem excessive but who knows ?! Perhaps the same people who negotiated David Bell's obscene contract.
I'm not stating the information as fact just sharing it with others, feel free to make your own mind up.
Thanks..... I won't bother posting next time

You're saying that Martin and Thomas are going to walk into the same contract elsewhere?
If so, then good luck to them...

Depends what there wages were.
I wish there was a way of finding out how much each player earns.

Given the claims are they were on too much for us, and that's justification for Martin being released...
If they're out of contract and the manager wants to keep them, there's nothing stopping the manager offering them whatever he sees fit - the player doesn't have to accept, after all. The fact he hasn't bothered suggests the previous wages of their previous contract is an utter irrelevance to the decision.

Yes, that is correct. They have to have been offered and rejected a new deal to be eligible for compo.

I suppose it's only really Phillips who's going that we've "Developed", so not much compensation I guess.
Sambou should get us a fair bit hopefully though.

Wouldn't mind Reid, just a shame he can't cross, but his pace was frightening!
