He may have thought the club was closing down he left early January before the take over, any illegal approaches made for him by the cods Richgy? After all cods are slippery creatures.
I am sure that doesnt go on at any level (not)
In reality if he was a potential superstar he would have been snapped up by a prem/champ academy , the hope will be he’s a half decent prospect who could come on and hopefully be a decent player , as with any young player though the odds are stacked against him .
We had another couple of good ones over the last few seasons -Grist who signed for Leicester and Pollock who signed for Watford both who we managed to get fees for but only played for the first team briefly -anyone with decent potential is hoovered up quickly ; i suppose the key is getting the ones that arent too good but quite good who you can at least kerp for a minimal amount of time and get a fee for .
With your chairmans ‘idea’ i sort of get it but do not understand how prime released academy players would drop so far dowm ,the good ones can surely get deals higher up -wait and see i guess .
On another note -John Mcatee is now out of favour with the fans and Fishy i dont think they like it he’s getting a bit of a sulk on sometimes ,will be interesting when he goes to Luton to see what happens as he has not shone in league 2 .I can see him being back on loan at a league 2 club next season (not us )
