Best wishes to Andy and Grimsby for next season, if we don't go up next year will look forward to seeing them at the Mem the year after
 
Between the lines, I think Monkhouse may have expected more from DC than DC was prepared to reasonably offer. Even Grimsby have only offered him a year. I'm sure DC would have offered him a year, so maybe he was digging his heels for a longer contract at Rovers. He sounded a bit gutted.
 
Thought he was generous to Rovers in his comments, didn't slag us off as some would have done and I wish him and Grimsby well for next season
 
I'm not completely sure but I think he is 34 years of age and if so I would think a one year deal up front would realistically be the best that he could have wished for.
 
Surely DC would have offered a year as well. Cant imagine just a 6 month deal. I think it could be around appearance fee's. DC may have said may not get much game time due to age and pace but would be a useful squad member. Monkhouse wants 1st team football due to age etc and couldnt agree a deal. Thats my guess.
 
Shame but I wish him well - for me it isn't just about playing in the team with him, it is the experience he has and the way he put his influence on our young team - that will be missed as well.
