    Sterling

    Clearly you're mistaking a 'bad attitude' for ambition. Why shouldn't he look forward to playing Championship football next season? After the season he's had he deserves a shot at plying his trade at a higher level. Plus why should he have a bond with the club when he isn't contracted to us...

    Keeper

    Last time I checked the fans didn't make the decisions on who's contract gets renewed. If they did I'm sure the likes of Wilson would've been shipped off long before he featured consistently for us. We received compensation for Thomas didn't we, hardly would've been a significant fee.

    Keeper

    I agree the club has definitely improved. In the last two years the only player of minor significance that we released was George Thomas. But even that could've been avoided couldn't it? 4 managers featuring throughout one season would've surely disrupted any potential contract discussions...

    Keeper

    Budgetary restrictions is obviously the primary reason, there's no denying that. However, to blame that many players departing on the budget and ignore all other variables is slightly naive in my opinion. Putting budgetary restrictions aside, I'm more interested in focusing on the timing - i.e...

    Keeper

    I've heard the contractual offer for Fleck was double than what we offered in terms of wages. It's long gone from my memory what the quoted figure was but it was certainly a decent package, especially considering Sheffield United were a League One side at the time. But it would be interesting to...

    still nothing...

    Whilst I do believe he will be sold (my prediction is to Everton), the reliance on Wilson's sell-on clause to keep the club in business is short-terminism at its finest. Relying on any revenue earned from any sell-on clause to keep the club afloat is like relying on a life boat with holes in...

    Goal margins/Goalscoring

    Exactly, he's with us this season for a reason and that's to improve. You're not wrong either, if he sorted his finishing out, he most definitely would be playing at the highest level for some top clubs. His work rate off the ball, overall attitude and his ability to track back is impressive...

    Keeper

    How we let his contract run down I'll never know. Fair enough him moving onto a Premier League club (at the time) but to let him leave for nothing was the biggest travesty. Joins the likes of Gunnarsson, Fleck, King and Christie in players we should've tied down sooner. Sometimes that's football...

    Curtis Nelson - Oxford

    I think on the whole MR finds particular issue with a player's attitude rather than their age. He seems to have a no-nonsense approach towards those who either negative, moan or have a chip on their shoulder. Hence why the likes of JCH and Brown were unpopular/out of favour but Doyle and Kelly...

    Curtis Nelson - Oxford

    Great player. Was excellent at Plymouth previously, and he was their youngest ever captain if memory serves. Wouldn't say he's a 'man mountain' as he's pretty average height for a CB, standing at around 6"0, although saying that I've heard he's pretty strong. The only issue is his injury record...

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    We might be a bargaining chip but we're certainly not the only one. There's an argument that CCFC folding could actually work in the favour of SISU with regards to their litigation battle. Joy is what is termed as a vexatious litigant. It makes little difference whether we exist or not, Joy and...

    Wasps on the up? I hope not!

    I admire your optimism. But, having such a laissez-faire attitude is exactly what's going to cause this club to stop existing.
