Fine him a week's wages for not turning up, his contract doesn't expire until 30th June.

Do we know if he hasn’t been invited back?

He was probably invited back but it was a case of come back if you're signing the contract on offer. If you don't we'll take it as you're moving on the offer is withdrawn.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Hopefully will free up the 100k signing on fee and 4/5k a week wages to be spent elsewhere

Love the picture of Willis on this article. Hull City target misses training as Championship clubs step up chase

No not the first picture, the second one.

 

[bawtryneal]

Why would he turn up for training at Cov
His contract expires on Sunday and he has made it clear he is not renewing
Same with Burge.
They have moved on.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Burge is waiting for David De Gea to make his mind up before committing.

 

[Nick]

Yeah, I don't get why some are thinking that CCFC were sat around waiting for him and he just didn't show up. He will have said his goodbyes already and the club will know he isn't coming back hence they have got cover in.

I don't think anyone was expecting him to turn up were they?

However that assumes the club have said its OK for him not to come back because as you say he is still a CCFC player at present and under contract.

He's under contract, is obliged really to turn up for work and also would make sense to try and keep himself fit. On the other hand, he might have been told to stay away....

 

[Nick]

I think he has been paying a coach himself for training through the off season as well.

For the sake of a couple of days, if I was the club I'd probably say not to bother. Let all the new players and the people who will be here get started, if he isn't going to be here then there's no point.

Which makes it all the more bizarre for the Telegraph to make it seem like he just hasn't shown up.

They did that with Bright as well if I remember? He was delayed by a couple of days but they were calling him a "no show" as if he had just not bothered.

They just need a story. And out of contract former player not at training isn't exactly a good story.

They want you to hate the club, fits in nicely with their slant. Expect an article on Willis's wage at his new club and how we "refused" to match it.

Yep, even in the articles about the fundraising they say that somebody donated using the name Joy Seppalla and stuff like that.

Its certainly not up to the high standard of past glories such as player leases car.

 

[better days]

It's straight forward with Jordan Willis
As a free agent he can negotiate a substantial signing on fee as whoever he signs for won't have to pay a transfer fee
The club have made him an offer just like they did to John Fleck
It happens all the time at other clubs and few people blame the owners in those cases

You mean like Mcfadzean?

 

[no_loyalty]

Any news on Willis, now he is officially out of contract?

 

[chiefdave]

Wasn't it supposed to be a done deal he was going to Luton? They're back in pre-season and have signed Martin Cranie. Would have thought if he was going there he would have been in training rather than working on his own.

 

[better days]

From what I heard last week he hasn't had any firm offers
His agent is probably taking to interested parties as clubs are just returning now

 

[Liquid Gold]

Strange one. He'll probably end up in the Championship still but I don't think he's going to be getting the deal he was hoping for.

 

[gspotgaz]

Think Willis will get exposed in championship personally. Yes I’m probably just being bitter but he’s stood out at league 1/2 level due to his decent pace where he can recover in many iffy situations.

That won’t be enough in the championship.

 

[covcity4life]

wonder if robins would want him if he came back. 4cbs we could use money elsewhere

that said willis is proven and we know he most probably could play level higher, the rest we dont other than mcfadzeon

Would be interesting if he decided he actually wants to stay. I know Boddy has been quoted as saying our CB business is done but I can't believe that if Willis turned round and said he wants to sign a 3 year extension that we would say no. I think he will definitely leave to be honest.

Robin's will have a clearer idea of where he sees Rose In the pecking order.

Willis is allegedly on the verge of joining Derby.

Imagine a few players have been caught out that way. Agents telling them they will be flooded with offers at a higher level and higher wages only for nothing to materialise ad them ending up scratching round for a club.

Door is definitely closed, he's told the club he won't be signing & his profile has been removed from club website;

I'm staggered that he is able to steal a wage at that level.

Perhaps he is a good influence in the training ground or something.

He’s been a great player for them
