I said the same thing about Boothroyd disrespecting Westwood.
Some of those things Mowbray has said there should have been spoken directly to Sambou and not the press. If I was Sambou that would wind me up no end and want to go elsewhere.

Yes I was, er GrendelLooks like the OP was correct

Can't stop him training mate, it's his lawful right while still an employee of the club.
The horse has already bolted so doesn't really matter what TM says, he is rightly frustrated that the player who would of been part of 1st team squads next year will be off with an U21's team elsewhere. The only thing fans can hope for now is that any money brought in is going to the 1st team pot.
Yes TM is quite canny with these sort of things, he wouldn't close the door on SambouHe's criticising Sambou's advisors if you read the quote properly.
hope he stays. we will need 4 strikers next year and armstrong prob wont be here and tudgay should be moved on. fortune too possibly. so alot of gaps to fill and this kid can fill 1 off them straight off the bat

How did he disrespect him? He and Westwood would have known that he wasn't going to sign an extension.

Do some research mate and do yourself a favourthe times I've proven it is true, I don't intend to go over it all again just to please you. Look at when Boothroyd took charge and look for quotes, and I don't mean what someone down the pub said...Actual quotes in the Telegraph when the Telegraph reporter at that time asked him if he had spoken to Kieren Westwood about the contract extention he had asked for a while prior to Boothroyd coming to CCFC. To which Boothroyd replied.. "I haven't bumped into him on the training ground yet..... FFS "Haven't bumped into him" what a f**king disrespectful way to talk about one of our best players.
It was probably in response to Westwood's inflated ego and he is obvious unwillingness to sign a new contract.

I found this straight away, please note Westwood responding in his own words(Quoted)
Bassala is a decent player but from the second year group I'd put Darragh Leahy and Jordan Shipley ahead of him in terms of ability and potential.
exactly.There is such a lot if tripe spoken about this.
There is some kind of belief that players lack loyalty if they leave.
The truth is football clubs offer no loyalty so cannot expect it back. If this player (who I would guess hardly anyone has seen play) was not offered a deal and consigned to the rubbish tip would there be a petition on here demanding his re-instatement?
Answer - no.
Clubs and supporters view players as commodities. Use when they perform and abuse when they don't.
It's frankly absurd to expect loyalty the other way. That's why players always seek the next deal and the bigger pay check as the scrap heap is always round the corner.
Does anyone on here or yourself regularly watch the u21's or u18's?
Has Bas shined that much to warrant a place in match day squad? Also how far away is anyone to impact on the 1st team.
Not arguing that Westwood wanted to leave as clearly he did as he rejected our contract and signed one elsewhere but is there any proof he refused a January move or have you just made that bit up?So what? How many players say they want to leave? Even Leon Best didn't when it was clear he wanted to.
Westwood was approached by premier league clubs and then ran his contract down.
They tried to sell in January and he said no as it financially benefited him.

Ok, but assuming the above is true than is only proof that Ranson tried to sell him before his contract ran out. Which doesn't match with what you said.Ranson said in an interview at the time he wanted to sell to raise a fee. relations soured.
