I’m totally fine with him leaving, I may live to regret these words but I think we can do better in all honesty. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think his best days are behind him was a bit of a liability last season and I think change was needed tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Thought he’d be a stick on for Falkirk too. Interesting this has yet to materialise… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 We’ll have a new captain next season then. It’s Ross Matthews for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 'terms' doesn't always translate into hard cash. At 30 years old he's probably looking for a 2 year deal if he can get one and, although, I would have been fine with a 1 year deal considering the situation with Berra and Lang, I would have been disappointed if we were handing out a 2 year deal based on his age and relative importance to the team moving forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tiel Burn Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I'm in the retain camp, think he carried more blame than was deserved at times. Its a good signing for them and without knowing the replacement a move we can't criticise from the new managers perspective. Seems like a trait of the Rovers board, stall then wait for the player/manager or another club to make the move elsewhere. Great servant, great captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I've said it before but to reiterate, not that fussed at him going. He's obviously done a good job overall for the club and goes with best wishes, etc. However, he's just got that off switch for his concentration/application and it's been a larger part of his game in the last few seasons. For every match winning challenge like that at Thistle near the end of the season, there is an example of him getting stuck under a high ball against Morton (led directly to a goal) or a fucking ball achingly stupid challenge like that on Broadfoot to lose is a game. Like @Enigma, I might yet regret it, but I feel we can do better - even if that is a guy with maybe only 70% of the same skill level but with better decision making - I think we'd be overall better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know players have offers months in advanced if they are on pre contracts? Maybe he was waiting on what we would offer before a decision was made, and we never had a manager for 2 weeks and Murray has probably got his own CHs in mind and offered him a 1 year deal and Bene probably wanted 2 or 3 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
