Certainly seems to be on his way out. I'll take some convincing that this is a wise move on our part.

Depends if the intention is to actually bring in players to replace him. IM has already made it known that he sees the backbone of Cas as:

Owen-Chase-Milner/Clark

Mathers, therefore, won't be starting FB and would go against what he joined us from Wire for. With Thompson and Goldy also capable of dropping back and no doubt a youngster in the reserves too, we could probably cover that position.

A big centre and a loose would be nice?

They would. As I say, I could be convinced but it all depends on what the overall makeup of the squad is come February.

Just the pay-off from Cas to sort and he's on his way enabling Cas to bring in a new threequarter.

Rumours around are that he is off to Wakey and we are paying half his wages!!!

Really fooked off if this is true as a) think he could still do a job for us and b) if we are as skint as people say then why offer to pay half of his wage!

Plus yellow_t-shirt paying a player no longer here is lunacy since it cuts our ability to replace him adequately.

at the Min if i didnt already have my season ticket i wouldnt get one, The club is p**hed if the think paying him half his wages is good buisiness.

But the club will lie there way out of this like they did the ground sponsor episode, I finished the season on a high but since its become pants after pants lie after lie while we read on twitter of how good a time poskit and Parker are having!! nice

Presume he's only going on loan then? I know it happens quite a bit in football (Man City especially given they're paying so many of their unwanted players way over the odds) but clubs only contribute to wages whilst the player is on loan.

The suggestion that Mathers just needs to sort out a pay-off from Cas would indicate it is a permanent move and if he's getting a pay-off I fail to see why we should then be contributing to his wages going forward as well!

Eh?

I don't think Poskitt has twittered much of late since the cones were sent back.
