Stupid SISU tw@s!

We'll wish we still had McPake in 3 days' time when Keogh and Cranie are gone. He's more than good enough for League 1 - and we don't even get compensated!

wingy · Jun 30, 2012

So just what are we spending Waggots salary on????

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jun 30, 2012

errmm... maybe it is because Cranie and Keogh have signed new contracts

Gray · Jun 30, 2012

he signed a new contract less than a year ago!? bunch of knobjockies!

CCFC_Charlie · Jun 30, 2012

Our club is a joke.

Why did you have to go ruin my happy fantasy world

TheHellion · Jun 30, 2012

I'm astounded about this. I can understand selling a player providing you re-invest to replace him, but to let him go for free is surely madness?

TheRoyalScam · Jun 30, 2012

The only reason they've let him go on a 'free' is to save money on his wages.

Never mind, we've already got his replacement lined up: http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10269~2810573,00.html

Gray · Jun 30, 2012

lengthy negotiations took place??? to give someone a free transfer??

bulkingtonskyblues · Jun 30, 2012

why are u guys upset at this? i think its great news to get him off the wage bill, as for demanding a fee. seriously? what club would pay a transfer fee for such a crock, the club taking him on are taking a big enough risk giving him a contract so nobody in their right mind would pay a transfer fee on top of that

Gaz · Jun 30, 2012

Soooo pissed off at this.

Are our owners trying to ruin us or what.

I can understand that he's been injury prone, and that it's a good thing to get him off the wage bill if he doesn't want to be here and is never fit....

But it's not like he's going to be one of the higher earners surely? And at least if we'd got a fee for him, we'd have had something to possibly put back in in terms of getting a replacement? I just don't think we are in any position to be letting players go on a free, especially when we need to be active in the transfer market. To me, it just doesn't make sense.

Sub · Jun 30, 2012

didnt somebody offer to buy him of us before he went on a free ????

Walking Bird · Jun 30, 2012

Surely we could have got some "Magic Beans" or something for him! :facepalm:

oldskyblue58 · Jun 30, 2012

why does it take lengthy negotiations to let him go for nothing, zip, nada, nowt, SFA !

I guess most people are assuming Keogh and Cranie will go leaving Wood as the only senior centre half in the squad which is reason to worry.

Mcpake would have been excellent in league 1 if he could stay fit

stupot07 · Jun 30, 2012

Hibs can't afford much of a fee, he wants to leave but has never put anything is writing, so perhaps the negotiations were around hibs paying him the loyalty bonus and agents fees we'd have had to pay.

Yes McPake may have been good in league one but really he's only played 38 games for us in 2 1/2 years, and as he was brought in to be in the first eleven and brought in during the 'good times' when money was available it would t surprise me if he is one of top 4-5 earners.

ccfcway · Jun 30, 2012

Mcpake and Craine in the same weekend

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jun 30, 2012

Horrible bit of business. If he wanted to leave, I think the Club should have honoured it. However, get some money. I would have been disappointed not to recoup less than £200k (however unlikely). He could absolutely have done a job in our first team. If Keogh and Cranie leave, we are now hoping that Wood can play a whole season and Cameron comes good. An area of relative strength on the pitch falls into line with everywhere else... severely lacking in depth. Roll on mid table, a sure sign of things to come (i.e. outgoings > investment).

pauljdh · Jun 30, 2012

Another one gone

According to the Beeb McPake has joined Hibs.

As promised by June 30th we can make an "informed decision".

I have,

Away games for me next season - FUCK SISU

I presume negotiations were with McPake to forgoe any loyalty bonuses or something like that.

skybluebeduff · Jun 30, 2012

It really does not make any sense does it? FFS

TheRoyalScam · Jun 30, 2012

'Roll on mid table.....'

I think mid table is being overly ambitious.

Avoiding relegation would be an achievement at the moment.

:blue:

DiveDiveWhereverYouMayBe · Jun 30, 2012

I am an optimist.

Marty · Jun 30, 2012

Why such the hysteria?? someone who can't play more then 20 games a season is let go on a free. Think we should count ourselves lucky someone was stupid enough to take him of our hands. Just Baker, Bell, Hussey & Deegan to go!!

sw88 · Jun 30, 2012

I'd rather he left than Keogh, but for free when he's under contract?

If Ranson was still here, he'd have got at least £1m! (ok maybe an exaggeration but he did manage to get us money for Borrowdale and Gray)

Marty · Jun 30, 2012

Also the lengthy negations could have been due to his current contract, players have loyalty bonuses and stuff like that. So maybe we did get a fee, but it was only to cover the clauses in his contract?
