et tu brute Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, thomas said: Being so completely past it that the most passionate defense of keeping him on, as a forward, is that while he doesn't score goals he might clear a corner in the final 20 minute. Good God almighty. He's not even somone who has been used to come off the bench, as Bruce point blank refused to do so. If Bruce doesn't even want to consider bringing you on, then you know you have problems. This would be the most pointless signing (I know it's a contract extension) ever giving the last two years. There is not one thing to even give a point of discussion as to why he should be signed up. I would argue the person responsible for rolling the wheelie bin baths out would have a greater impact and more use.

Superior Acuña Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I can't really get very worked about this. This kind of thing just feels like run-of-the-mill medicore Ashley NUFC to me, not particularly egregious by that scale. Pretty indifferent. Occasionally he's useful at the end to head away some corners. He's shit, we're shit, he'll mostly be on the bench ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Brief article in the Times today saying he has in fact been released, and will be looking for a new club, but is also open to a coaching role.

Abacus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 It's interesting that he is considering a coaching role. He must realise his playing days are over - they probably were a long time ago to be fair. I might be doing him a massive disservice, but he doesn't strike me as coaching material. At least partly because his skillset as the big target man is so out of fashion, and probably will be more so over the years as I'm guessing heading will be increasingly phased out from youth level upwards for health reasons. Of course, you don't have to coach the things you were personally naturally good at. In fact in some ways doing that can be a disadvantage, as you're not able to understand why someone can't do what you can. Anyhow, that brief article was by Henry Winter, so I'm guessing it was right. According to it, he'd wanted an extra year, but no dice. Best of luck to him, you do wonder if he could do a job in the championship (or dare I say it League One) off the bench for 4 or 5 goals a season.
