It seems like the agent has acted appallingly in this as most do, next time he comes to Robins with a player he should tell him to clear off and hopefully he will speak to other managers to do the same.

I think the abuse for McNullty is sad. As has been mentioned by a lot of posters, the career is short and can be ended by a bad tackle. Loyalty doesn’t really exist either way. Some people were giving him dog’s abuse for the first half of the season ( remember his cupped ear gesture when he scored the winner at home to Cheltenham?). He would only be a few barren games away from the same people writing him off again and once again getting on his back. He is not guaranteed to have another season like the last. His star could be the highest it will ever be in his career. Therefore I don’t blame him for making the move which means his life after football will be a lot easier. It is a move which could give him the chance of an international career and if he is a success, even the chance of playing in the PL. If he plays against us in the future I would applaud him as he helped to give me one of the best seasons I have had watching City (and I have been watching since 1967) and I feel he always ran his socks off and always gave of his best. He isn’t a City fan and has not got the affinity with the club that fans have. Even if he did I think personal ambition would probably dictate that he would still leave. For example, Lineker left Leicester for Everton even though it is clear that Leicester is his club. McNulty’s year at the club was great for him and great for us. I had hoped he would stay but the fee will hopefully be used to strengthen what I still hope will be a promotion season.

According to Robins, the agent intimated that McNulty would (in effect) go on strike... would you rather watch McNulty cause issues for two years and then leave on a free or get a decent fee for him.
It'll be the third option then
The agent is desperate for his cut... Full stop !

Seriously? If I offered you 5 times the wage to do the same job at a better level you'd say no?

I haven't seen where MR said this, but if true, that throws a completely different perspective on this. He was under contract and was morally obliged to honour it if we had insisted, in my opinion. If it is true, then I say good riddance.

CET have an interview with Robins after the Sutton game. It's a good thing this has been resolved early on in pre-season.

Agree with that but i'm sure players are insured big time with career ending injuries.

You are really hoping that someone will break their leg simply because they have left our football club? If that wish is genuine what does that say about you as a human being?

So are you saying that loyalty equates to stupidity? Surely it depends on the moral code of the individual concerned? Either way, agitating for a move and threatening to down tools if he doesn't get it isn't behavior to be admired IMO.
Or are you just being offensive?
It’s no longer about McNulty, it’s who we replace him with, only 2 weeks until the transfer window shuts I’m still confident Robins has players on his radar I’m just concerned re our owner, had the Maddison windfall, sold over 6000 season tickets and now has this McNulty fee in her mits. Not saying we should spend the lot but her record goes before her

CCFC more important than any player. Agent saying player would be stroppy is just a tactic by the agent (not the player). Move on. Still happy with overall business. Also, stop bickering about owners trousering cash re: Maddison/McNulty. We've been bringing players in/improving contracts etc to keep team together/improve it. This costs money.

I'd love to say yes, just to make you happy Otis, but I'm not. As many posters have pointed out, playing football is a short career and loyalty has no place in it. We got a great (half) season out of MM and he was instrumental in our promotion. The best of British to him, if you ask me. Those wishing him ill are swivel-eyed loons.
Oh, and I didn't even mention that reading should have a capital "r".

Agreed that this looks very possible. If so we possibly don’t need anyone else up front and might opt for a wide midfielder or wing back.

I don't wish him ill, but two broken legs and temporary double vision for 13 months wouldn't go amiss.
I also hope someone pees in his porridge while no-one's looking.
Remember what they say, never trust a Scotsman with a beard. Well, that's what my great gran used to say anyway.

No chance we’d survive a season with that set up and options - it’s got no goals in it

I think you're contradicting yourself in the first paragraph.
My old man's advice was a bit broader - never trust a man with a beard. He was right.

I’d tend to agree but it seems we’ll have more creativity than last year...and possibly more goals from other areas?
Part of me would like to see if Ponticelli is the goal scorer people think he can be.

Where's the contradiction? I haven't wished the plague or Black Death upon him, or hoped he falls off a cliff.
My old man told me to never trust a woman with a beard. It's ever since then that I stopped watching Eurovision.
Agh ,I think that may be predictive text kicking in again.

Think you will find that the football club insures themselves so that the insurance covers the contract.

You got a like purely for the use of occular - though disappointed Otis hasn't attempted a Jockular out of it

People are desperate for Sisu to be the pantomime villains despite the fact they played zero part in this transfer.

Despite the fact it wasn't even the first bid.
Shame these people shout the loudest and get listened to to try and put people off ccfc. Pretty much the sort who bang on about not going to games then rock up at Wembley.
Interesting robins had another dig at the agent
