No player is irreplaceable, no matter how disappointing it is when someone popular leaves.
I notice no one is losing any sleep over Elliott – one of the most over-hyped players I can remember seeing in an Iron shirt. Talk of him signing for Macclesfield, which tells you everything.
Butterfield could have become a real club legend if he’d stayed but it’s his choice and he has his bills to pay. Again, he may well have left last summer had we not offered him a big contract.
