your missing a 'when fit' out of there paul and i think thats a big part of the problem

So has he "gone" ? Or is it just expected/estimated that he will be ??

Surely we must be looking at a fair wedge of salary cap with his wage added to the amount that we already had left ?

Maybe his salary is not as big as people may think. Why else would he even contemplate doing the naughty things he is accused of, other than to make ends meat.

















I’m not really that naive sheer greed is at the root of his current predicament. If found guilty, then he deserves everything he gets, and I for one won’t lose too much sleep over the guy.

Well if his case isnt going to court until 2 months into the new season whats so wrong with 'innocent until proven guilty' and if fit use him ?

Nothing at all, but then again there is nothing wrong with been realistic either. If he is to leave the club early, could it be a sign that they are preparing early for the inevitable?

The phrase 'if fit' is the crucial one. He isn't currently, and maybe the prognosis is that he won't be match fit until around the time of his court case. There may also be other factors in play that are not in the public domain.

The club may not have finalised anything yet. And they will have to be very careful of releasing any statement that might conceivably impact on his impending court case. Better to say nothing until everything is cut-and-dried and run past the legal team.

He has denied the allegations against him and is of course innocent until proven guilty. However I think we all know the club is likely to sack him if he is convicted and certainly if he is sent down.

His April trial date has been known since September. What has happened since then to change things? Is there something else we don't know about, as alluded to by The Brother?

Believe me nothing has been sorted with Raynor at the moment and nothing will be before April. Actually the club are being as supportive as they can.
Obviously the club will have reason to offload him if the worst happens but why make problems for themselves whilst the guy is still innocent.

I don't think this rumour is all to do with his impending court date, I believe it's been the way he has conducted himself in pre-season. I believe he may have been a silly boy once again.

Doing what ?

I don't know the details but some on here do.

.

Still think he's a good player and would leave us very short in backs if he went , if he is fit then might aswell use him till April ,
Think some people just change their opinion of him because they think he might be going

Ability never been in question for me, application yes, he lets himself down way too often and has had enough chances on a test players wage time to part ways for me, on top of his injuries aswell a luxury we can't afford to carry imo
