Honestly can't agree with that. He rejected double his wages, has said he wants to move to a bigger club. He would have wanted to move whether Ron had listed him or not.
I'd rather he left now then stayed for a year anyway, he's clearly not the best character in the dressing room.

And we get more money for him if he leaves now.

No chance, he wants to move on and would have wanted to join them anyway.
To ask for us to double his wages was absurd and if we had agreed we would have paid him far more to stay here and then he would have left anyway.
Hardly a shocker our best players want to join bigger clubs, just a pain for it to happen now when we dont even have McCormack.

Interestingly enough Ron said we actually offered to double his wages but he rejected it and wanted more. I'm guessing he's on 1k p/w, so he'd be on 2k p/w after playing in the conference 2 seasons ago. Not too shabby.

Reckon he is on more than 1k. He was Barnets player of the season and cost us £175k wasnt it ? Cant imagine we only paid him 1k per week.

He was still an unknown though. No more then 1.5k I should imagine.

Haha cheers.
I'd still be surprised if he was on more then 1.5k though.

"But I did not ask to be listed, the club listed me after I turned down a contract, so all along this situation has not been of my making."

Quite right. 2 years to run on his contract & offered improved terms [doubling of wages] and he rejects, so placed on t/f list [no problem with that decision] as he shows lack of commitment to honour his contract even at much improved terms.
Whilst we can expect interest from other clubs, for him to come out with the statement on the eve of the opening game in the terms of it, was a kick in the teeth to the team, supporters and management alike and the timing was potentially damaging.
Thankfully the team got down to business and his performance was better than he stated could be expected.
Being watched by other clubs may have had something to do with that and the sooner we get this sorted and instal Grant the better, so we can bind our midfield into a unit that will see us through the whole season and beyond.

I went to the game fully prepared to give Bailey some stick if he put in a half-hearted performance. However he was truly magnificent, head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch - so i nstead of booing him off the pitch I applauded him.
If that's how he plays when his head isn't right then when everything is sorted out he'll be one heck of a player.

My thoughts exactly. Whether he stays or goes or says whatever he says, if he plays like that, we will only have a problem when he leaves.

What would you in percentage terms say would be the difference between playing say Grant and Bailey ? If it may be only 5% then it's so marginal as to not cause much if any concern.
In time IMO Grant will be as good or better

First XI
For not wanting to get injured he went flying in to a few tackles. Lets hope he continues to play like that until he leaves.
Also, what a great opportunity for Moussa now. He started slowly but gradually got into the game and did quite well. If he knows he'll get a few games in a row now he might relax a bit and show us why Tilly rates him so highly.
