    You mentioned Pritchard was away months ago due to his lass wanting to return to London, Ross we know all about, the other 2 may not be as important?

    It's about what it costs to bring in the replacements that's for next week's meeting also

    Charlie has gone for good Stew is still a 20% shareholder, he will be more involved after Jan, and that's his right.
    he is here Monday night.

    I will not get dragged into your conversation.
    If you disagree that's fine.
    Oh BTW where did you sit at the playoff final?

    Personally be gutted about losing prichard. Probably the most intelligent footballer we have. Super tactical brain and helps the young lads how to play ball. Has been rumbling for a while with him but would like to hope he will stay.

    Resigned to lose Stewart. Only way he stays in Jan is if the offers are below market value due to injury.

    Djaku will be away.

    Donald can continue to live in the dark corners with minimal to zero say too. Piece of ****.

    If LS and JW have any sense they will not let Donald work closer with the FOL and Beacon anarl.

    Losing Pritchard & Stewart will be hugely damaging to the squad if true. I expected Stewart to be away but not Pritchard, he makes us tick, be hard to replace his guile and experience.

    Let’s be honest here, if Stewart and Pritchard really want away it tells you more about what footballers really want and it’s not wanting to play in a team going places.

    It's not them failing that was the problem. Most will fail in the end, and at most clubs.

    It was the contempt they showed for the supporters, being openly and unforgiveably patronising, by inventing stories, by going into hibernation at the worst ever time for the club and clinging, barnacle like to a ship they were capsizing by their own amateur interventions.

    They behaved like grifters. Hoping to grab a chance, spin a tale, turn a quick profit and leave laughing.

    They have no credit in the bank at all. None.

    Chicken and egg though.

    Players leave clubs, but those two will be very difficult to replace at the same quality level.

    Sorry, don’t understand your reply, I meant some players would prefer to sit in a squad because of the money rather than play in a team going places, I don’t mind that because they have a short career but it’s not someone I really want in our team.<ok>

    If it is Pritchard and Stewart that's away then so be it, players come and players go.

    Disappointing if they do go, but not the end of the world and there are still 18 odd other players to support

    It's not though Bob, he has no rights.

    Being at the match is his right as it is with us all.

    Other than Bob saying Pritchard is there ANYONE who thinks he'd be away? Or are we all latching on to a throwaway comment and taking it as gold?

    Surprised to see people say no activity in Jan would be fine. If nobody leaves we definitely need another striker. If Stewart leaves we need two. I also think we could do with a better player in Evans position.

    It’s an interesting rumour and I’d be gutted if he went, that’s all i see it as and I’m guessing most will feel the same.

    Wouldn’t take anything as gold unless it was the player, Speakman or KLD telling me direct.

    It has started a discussion though, like who could step up or who could we realistically bring in should it happen.

    It's started a discussion, but unless Bob knows something we don't then it's baseless
    In terms of who could replace him in the current squad then I think that would have to be Amad rather then Embo
