It might show how far we’ve fallen, but letting your top scorer for the last two seasons go when you’re in a relegation scrap is suicide.
He might not be consistent, he might be infuriating to watch sometimes, but he was the most likely scorer on any given week.
£50k is nothing. 100 extra fans a week gets us that. He might’ve been disillusioned but it’s a manager’s job to motivate the players!
I completely understand that school of thought and there’s definitely something to it but you have to remember that he’s scored only 4 goals this season, 1 of which was a penalty and 1 was clearly an own goal. Scrimshaw has scored 3 and I don’t think anyone would be gutted if his loan was cancelled.
