Looking in from the outside, We don't look like a very attractive club to come to.

Before he got injured he was second to Tomkins in the stats, and now we just let him disappear?

something isn't right behind the doors and hasn't been for a long time.

I think the point MR was making is that if we just wanted him off the cap we could de-register him as a player but still pay his wages for the few months his contract has left to run. Seems a bit uncharitable on the face of it to bin him off entirely just because he picked up an injury.

However, this is just a rumour and the reality is likely to be a lot more nuanced.

Agree that de-registering and paying his wages is the better option and hopefully that is what we're doing.

Wasn't a -stirring at all merely asking an opinion which in the end turned into a sensible debate notca point scoring one.
I do think It's something clubs need to think about whilst maneuvering within the cap.

It's a reasonable point. In the past I feel FC have been guilty of erring too far in the direction of being the 'good guys' and perhaps not been hard-nosed enough in these dealings. It's a fine balance and difficult to get right all the time.

if you`re going to get rid of McDonnell for having a long term injury,you might aswell get rid of carvell for all the use we`ve had out of him.
