Re: James Ford : Wed May 17, 2023 6:35 pm  
Many people missing the larger point - our AC had already agreed to join the club most likely to be replacing a SL at next season - currently slated to be us.

How can WT have confidence in a staff member who's future looks better if we fail?

As soon as the club found out, they had to act.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I get the impression that the club didn't act at all, they have come out with a nonsense reaction to events that had already happened

Did you actually read it?
They said he told them he had a job for next year and they decided to let him go now.
What's hard to understand from that?
If it wasn't true Fev would say.
It's always been standard practise to wait for the place they are going to to announce first.

Yes I read it, it's very obvious petty nonsense from the club, which is why I'm not surprised to see you defending it

What’s your point?
Would it have been better if the club had said ‘that’s fine go next season we’ll look after you till then!’
What exact did you want the club to say?

Can you explain this then if we accept that reasoning.
How can the club select a player (Jordy Crowther) who has signed a contract with the club who are our nearest rival for relegation. Surely the same applies.

Re: James Ford : Wed May 17, 2023 8:07 pm  
I've only seen rumours based on the fact he was seen at Cas. Doesn't mean he's signed.
And we are hardly going to let a player go to rivals now.....and they might not have the wages this year.

JC has signed a contract with Cas?

If he has, it will state the same as the contract he has with Wfd = if not in SL the contract is null and void.

Not the same situation with a coach and Fev.
