Contract cancelled by mutual consent. Good news always ran around like he had both feet cased in buckets of cement.

Just a shame that Hawley, Benyon, Tonge et al won't walk away from their top-whack contracts as well

Closer to home, north wales. We'll see him when we play Wrexham.

Wish him the best of luck, it's fair to say that the last 18 months must have been pretty frustrating! I don't think he ever really reproduced the sort of form that we saw from him in friendlies/reserve outings for the first team. No doubt, he has a fantastic delivery with his left foot, but the rest of his game just isn't up to it at League level. I would be surprised if he gets picked up by someone as decent as Wrexham, perhaps Chester might be a decent shout in the league below, or he may just go back and play with his home town club Caernarfon and start to enjoy his football again, something I doubt he has done here for a while.

Parallels can probably be drawn with Mick O'Brien, who was at Everton but didn't quite make it here despite showing undoubted ability.

If he was playing week in, week out, as he was briefly was under Martin Ling, he might not be in the situation whereby he was feeling homesick.

Doubt it, if he's not good enough for us he won't be good enough for them either. Chester at a push, or Colwyn Bay would suit him better

Home sick? If that's the case he needs to toughen up. No loss really, if he don't want to be here, he goes.

Speaking of Mick O Brien...

I was playing a football match for charity the other day, and one of the guys on the other team was clearly a really good player - English too. We got talking after the game and he asked who I supported I told him and he said 'oh yeah, one of the guys I work with used to play for them." Mick O'Brien is now a coach with Everton America, who run coaching classes all summer for the kids up here. Apparently he still likes a drink.

Thats my thinking, as well Lucy. I always felt the same about Billy Kee. I know they are young (Well Billy was/is) but for goodness sake!! Do you want to play football or not? Sadly its not always possible to play for the team that has its home ground near to your Mum's house. Shock horror.

Good job the young lads who fought for our freedom, in Normandy, didn't say the same thing. "Sorry Sarg, cant go to France, today, as its a bit of a long way and I might get home sick.

Man up fellas.

Having said that, I would like to wish Nath all the best, wherever he goes. I always liked him. Same with Billy. Fair dues, he has stayed at Burton (Near to his Mum) but he has a wife and, I believe, a very young baby now so I guess he has "Manned Up"

Anyone heard anything about the striker CH is said to be close to signing (by the herald)? Or about sponsors. It's all gone a bit quiet!

taxilady · Post by **taxilady** » 09 Jun 2014, 21:05

it's all in the Herald, Brooker! Well, about the new striker , anyway.....& if you buy a raffle ticket, you could be the new shorts sponsor !

Bailey's Bus apparently received 9 months of 'fame' last season. I am not lying when I say I have honestly never heard of them OR seen any sort of logo or advertisement for them anywhere.

As for the new striker and sponsor?

I fully expect a big announcement later this week...........................informing us that Kajagoogoo are to play Boots in their first leg of their comeback tour. Sadly no sponsor which is already lined up apparently or no new additions to the playing staff. (The latter I can understand).

I don't think that Nathan has had a fair chance this season by only getting a couple of starts and a couple of substitutions. When he did not shine.
I just wish him the best of luck and grab the chances you get and make the best of them.
