Spors made it clear "we only want to retain players who want to be here" so he'd be contradicting that stance if he then started insisting players stay against their wishes...

He seems to start every other sentence with: "we're not going to get everything right"... Realistic? Maybe, but hardly inspirational... I know Cortese had more flaws than a 100 storey office block (floors/flaws... Geddit...? ) but at least his attitude was always: "we're going to get everything right, even the f**king mattresses on away trips"

Definite Del Boy vibes with Parsons....

What sort of non-question was that FFS?

I thought it was the lead singer of Elbow

Same old story....

Careful what you wish for....

Yeah, but what good is that if we can't spy on the opposition any more...?

Not that I'd have wanted us to match Swansea's 3 year contract, but there we have a direct impact of the FA's dithering over the sanction process. (Maybe he'd have settled for a 2 year contract with us if the uncertainty over Eckert wasn't a factor).

Probably pointless asking questions about "spygate" anyway as the response will no doubt be: "we can't comment whilst the FA investigation is ongoing"

Yep, agree. I was rather hoping that the club had finally learned it's lesson in January when, at long last, we had two top notch (for this level) centre forwards in the squad. Here's hoping we don't slip back into "make do" mode in the CF department this season...

Cheers 👍🏻🍻

Got a link to his comments, kind sir?

I'm sure our crack legal team are on the case to snuff out such bias...

IMO, no. I've got no evidence for this whatsoever, but I've a hunch he might have been a bit of a 'cage rattler' behind the scenes... Yes, he was one our best players, and probably better 'on paper' than Fellows, but team spirit and cohesion is often worth more than individual player ability...
