Tongue in cheek, MellowYellow ..... but i understand that Joe Hart is still looking for a club ?? ;-) Anyway, water under the bridge now. He's gone, and like others, I wish him good luck at Rochdale, a club that used to be on a par with us but is properly run and has progressed whereas, sadly, we have degressed as a result of years of mismanagement at Board Room level.

I suspect its quite straightforward. At this stage wage levels would be very different. Seems odd because I still think of Rochdale as the struggling Pennine side they once were.

Think Brendan would have been better off playing another full season for us rather than warming Rochdales
bench. Still, I am sure he will get better coaching there
Looks like Pokey it is then, lets hope he has improved on crosses

Getting a gig at a League 1 side is...surprising, perhaps, but good for him.
A big risk IF he is not first choice. Hope it works out for him.

What is amiss here? A Yank decides to try his luck and chase a career as a goalie in the Mecca of football -England. Signs as third backup goalie for Fleetwood but getting no match time -gets a lucky break to play for Torquay on loan - puts in a few good performance so another lucky break for the Yank, we sign him up the following season. Are we now to count our blessing that he may still be negotiating a better deal as we cannot afford Joe Hart! Fair do's the Yank did put in few good shifts for a conference side battling relegation, but surly not to the level that now only England's No 1 goalkeeper could oust him from the side. If he's gone to a football league side good luck to him, but if he's still haggling terms passed the 11th hour tell him to sling his hook. There is contrary to popular belief quite a few decent goalkeepers out there, many with more experience than 46 conference league matches the Yank has to his name - Poke being one.

Annoying it may be both to Manager and fans but it's easy to call time on players on a fans forum. If Nicholson were to do that and signs a new keeper on spec who proves exactly why he's been released are we all going to say you were right to do that Nicho?

Please no replies on their footballers so its different. All jobs are different from the Pope to the cattle rancher! The deadline for Brenda and Courtney is well past its sell by date. To end this end, I agree with Lucy 'we have to move on, forget sentiment'. and lets stop the dilly dallying and get rid - if not already gone.
Very true that no player is bigger than a club and yes, we have to forget sentiment. But we don't know what negotiations (if any) are continuing between club and player. There are hundreds of players still out there whose agents are trying to get the best contracts for their clients and if Nicho says "Sorry Brendan - you're too late, sod off" he still then has to find two competent 'keepers at this level and I doubt that there are that many around. I think Jerry hits the nail on the head. Until Nicho can say "Sorry Brendan - you're too late, we've just signed Joe Hart (unfortunately, Martin Rice has already signed for Tiverton)", the door has to remain open.

I would say that the deadline as such was just saying we wouldn't look to replace them before that date. Now that the deadline has passed we are actively looking for replacements. If and when those replacements are found then the offers will be withdrawn but until we have found alternatives we would be foolish to close the door on either of them returning.

You're being a tad harsh, Lucy6. We don't know what negotiations are going on behind the scenes and it is right that we are not being informed. A career in football doesn't last long and players quite understandably try to squeeze out the most favourable contracts they can. I hopre he eventually signs ...... with Michael Poke as no.2 !! As Jeff mentoned on another thread, Pokey seemed to pick up a few injuries during a season, although to be fair to him, I see that he played 35 games for Woking last season.

A long way past the deadline now so surely he won't be signing.
Was this little piggy telling porkies again?
