If your not keen on him Owen must have seen enough in him to make him captain.
TBH, I'd rather he went now, saving wages rather than sulking for a season not playing at his best.
Anyway, I don't think he has left yet, as Largehat said on his article.
He'll activate the clause to leave if a better offer is put on the table.
If not he'll stay with a big piece in the BN & the club website with him kissing the badge and saying how he loves our club.
I rate him personally, and he clearly did care I think. But at the same time can you blame him for wanting out? I doubt he signed up for relegation last year and having only been here one season does he really owe us any loyalty? If he stays then great, he is a leader and a consistent performer on the pitch. If he leaves, it's a lot off the wage bill and good luck to him.
I'm fairly sure he had a clause allowing him to leave if we got relegated. After only a year here I don't see how he needs to show loyalty to us.
I rated him less and less as the season went on, but as you said he was playing the in wrong role.
Madnotlobian - if you are reading this then keep your hat on - he's not that bad.
So you can predict the future?
Who are we signing? Nixon won't tell me.
In terms of nixon I would like to think we take one of two stances. Either ignore him and his ego trip or every assumption he makes remind him he spouts the brown stuff
Firstof, I'm sorry but your not flexible in your opinions at all.
You have very generalised opinions of people on here, and spout these on every single thread you appear on.
For example, thinking that some Coyle supporters think that Coyle can do no wrong. This is completely untrue, I and even I, the person you say is 'inflexible' has criticised Coyle, even on this thread .....
OP Delete these last two comments, sorry about it...
If you allow a clause like that, you have to deal with it when and if it's used..
And I'm sure the saving in wages will benefit us more than his contribution.. Players like Pratley and Mark Davies will hopefully REALLY shine in the Championship...?!
never in the history of 606 have i disagreed with an article more
Disagree with this article.....a professional footballer wants to play in the best league and make the most money he can get. I would argue that anybody without that ambition is probably useless. Who exactly wants to play an away game at Barnsley on a Tuesday night?
Having said that I think NRC has been asked to run the midfield which he can't do. He is a good defensive ball winner type.
If any of our boys get offers from the Prem they will be long gone ....and good luck to them...it's business.
