Tumilty (who I’ve accepted is away anyway) and Spencer aside, there isn’t an out of contract player I’d be too bothered about leaving. I know you’ve tried to sign Bene before and frankly you can have him. Of course if you just submit the same offer you made to Clyde for Goodwillie in Janurary I’m sure we’ll accept.

Think you're lumbered with him for a while yet. Surely you will be paying him off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 As said before, I don’t really have an issue whether he stays or goes but very poor from the club if he is allowed to leave without a proper send off. Is it possible the discussions are now under way with McGlynn and there has been no announcement because negotiations are ongoing and nothing is signed? That would be the only real explanation for no confirmation on the situation. Talks could easily have begun after the Hamilton game and I don’t expect that process would be completed in 5 days. Might be reading too much into a throw away comment but his pre match interview on the website didn’t sound like someone who knew they were on their way out, his last line was something along the lines of ‘We’re going to need the support of the fans going forward as well’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 If I had to put money on what the most likely course of events has been, it's that someone from the club has said "John, you're not planning on going anywhere are you?", he's confirmed that he's not, and they've agreed to sort out the paperwork after the end of the season. I don't think there's been any real desire from either McGlynn or the club to do anything different, and the formalities that were about to be concluded prior to the Goodwillie deal have been pushed back until after the football's finished. I could well be proved wrong, but that seems to me to be the most likely situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of a desire for distractions, a few: Bene - Looks that another Championship year might be too much to ask, probably still do well in a League One. Tumilty - Expected to be taken by a lower half Premiership or top level Championship team. Unlikely to drop a level. Musonda - Would have been a shoe-in for a higher signing, but hasn’t shown as much as expected, although not given a decent shake to do so either. Doubt he’d drop a level, other Championship+ suitors likely. McKay - Might be a League One level defender, might not be. Spencer - Likely to either re-sign or get another Championship position, but could be a possibility, if he’s willing to drop a level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about bene considering his penchant for getting red carded at TFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 5 hours ago, Paco said: Yeah, it’s poor. I can appreciate the board didn’t want to offer a contract either in the midst of a terrible run or when the play-offs were still on the line. But last Saturday cleared that up and in my mind, Monday afternoon should’ve seen either a picture of McGlynn signing his contract or plans for a ‘John McGlynn Day’ at tonight’s match posted on the website. Surely they’re not still deliberating? The board must know the outcome so it would’ve been nice to know - if this was some no-mark journeyman I wouldn’t really mind the secrecy. ‘We intend to start contract negotiations…’ would’ve done if he’s staying. And if he is going, it’s not right to either let him go without fuss in the summer or to force McGlynn himself to make it clear to the fans at the game. So much for the transparency they promised.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Don't know where the talk about Bene not being good enough is coming from. Aye, he has his rash moments as do the majority of CBs but he reads the game well most of the time and wins more than his fair share in the air. He's a keep for me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the position we're in, where Musonda is leaving, Lang is injured and Berra is another year older, keeping him for another year is probably a sensible move. Based on his actions at the end of the game I wouldn't say he looked like someone saying his goodbyes. Musonda and Tumilty are clearly away though.
