Yep, I've a bit of a soft spot for them too bobby93. Worked near there for a while and used to go and watch them a bit and know someone who lives in Penrith. A few jars in the city centre and then a walk down warwick road to brunton park, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

Has he gone yet or is he still on his hols swaggering around like he did pre-Torquay thinking he's made it again and a decent move is in the bag before it all going totally wrong? I'm actually thinking that his new club are making a mistake and if they massage his ego a bit more then they are likely to get a very unproductive season from Mr Howe. Attitude is everything and what I've seen from Rene prior to joining us and the last 6 months of playing for us is that he has only had a short period of success when he was focussed and settled and that was with us. Anywhere else he has been crap in a nutshell and that is what he will be for his new club as he will be uprooted again and thinking he only needs put on a shirt and get paid like the last 6 months with us.

We had the absolute best out of Guy Branston and likewise Rene Howe.

Next

Now apparently York have offered him a deal. Blimey he's going to be paying a lot of money in petrol seeing all these teams!

LOL! Well pleased at my guesswork as a few posts back I predicted he would be heading for York!

Tomorrow he will be in Rotherham looking for the step up to league 1. :~D

Jeez, this bloke is getting like Nicholas Crane!

rene has left but no club as yet, saah gone aswell, downes staying , brass is on board aswell.

Really?

Suppose we should thank Rene and Brian for their efforts over the last two years. Good luck in the future..

yes really nick.

Yes, I thank Rene for his efforts although he soured it for me these last 6 months or so with his behaviour and attitude. Saah, superb pro, had his problems early doors but established himself in the side and was always reliable and sad to see him go as I hoped we could start the season with a settled centre back pairing. Wish him well. Downes is a massive plus and I just hope to God he stays injury free, and Brassy onboard is also a huge relief.

lost two of our best players then! fantastic

we knew this would happen, knilly and brass are talking to numerous players and is busy trying to sign people, things will hot up over the next couple of weeks. best thing they move on if they dont want to stay.

To be honest I will now be glad to see the back of Howe and Saah. We were nearly relegated - was it just the other nine players in the team's fault. Good riddance - they might have been two of our better players but compared to what we have had over the years neither would be worth a mention. Says it all really.

Far more concerned about Saah leaving than I am about Rene.

Chris Robertson anyone?

I'd take Robbo back, not sure if he'd fancy moving down south again though.

Saah was a good player for us but it never really felt he wore the shirt with pride. was always seemingly on the fringes at TUFC and not surprised that he has moved on.

It is now over to Knill to replace so in him we trust.
