Breaking News Mooney - Contract Terminated

[Jay_SUFC]

Doesn't it normally take NL about 2 weeks to decide if they can let someone else join?

Maybe they have been in discussions with the NL for weeks, as it's been clear a while Mooney doesn't fit here

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Wonder where’s he’s off to?

It’s presumably somewhere in the division.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Bearing in mind the qualities of our coaching team, I wonder why they weren't able to 'reach' him?
Had it been Brown or soulless MM, I might have understood.
But Kev and co are cut from different cloth, so he must have seriously been disaffected by being at a top club for the NL.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Good riddance - the rest of the squad have run through walls for us and must be fed up seeing him just going through the motions.

I honestly don't care about his ability, it's his heart and personality that needed to be addressed in order for the ability to be seen.

Give me Beau every time over Mooney.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Good decision all round for all parties.Probably there is some talented player in him but for what ever reason he hardly showed it for us.His body language when he came on as a sub on Saturday clearly showed he wasn't a happy bunny.He will likely go to another club and excell but that's football sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

I do feel for Dan. When he joined, showed so much promise. He had plenty of shots but the more games and shots he had, the more he seemed to put himself under pressure and he just couldn’t get going.

He started to become visibly frustrated as did fans when he would try and put one in the top corner for the fourth time in a match and end up missing by skying it.

That disgusting cowardly challenge on him by Altrincham was the big change and he never recovered from that for me.

It didn’t work but I respect him for being a part of this super squad and still giving it a go even though things were not right for him.

Good luck to him and I’m excited to see what happens next!

 

[Leeboy]

still the second best Mooney to play for us (behind Tommy, in front of David).

 

[ms brush]

I wish him all the best wherever he ends up. Under different circimstances he probably would have left in the Summer. As one of the Super 16, he has tried his best, but it hasnt been working. So best all round he moves on. I dont think we can read anything in to this, other than its a footballing decision and there is a possible replacement incoming.

Wonder where’s he’s off to?

Altrincham fans have been predicting his return for about a month

So the paper thin squad is now a tissue one How long before King Kevin says enough is enough

You really think Kev wouldn't have been involved in this decision!!!

Kevin Maher is no Mother Teresa, if you're not pulling your weight or working for the team, I imagine he's extremely cut throat and will simply turn his attention to players who deserve it

I'm not saying Dan did those things, but there is only so much you can help a player when it's not working

 

[Holy Joe]

Hhmmm interesting. Any changes to player registrations/contracts need to be approved by nl under a transfer embargo. I doubt they'd give us permission to release DM and then bring in someone new - that would defeat the object of a transfer embargo!

So maybe the sale of the club is about to be completed.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Give me Beau every time over Mooney.

I thought it odd that there was no Beau for the Academy yesterday. With Coker and Fonguck returning last week it seemed like he wouldn’t be needed for the first team but I suppose Mooney’s departure changes that.

 

[TUMBO]

I’ve got a lot of time and respect for every squad player we’ve had during these tumultuous times… but this is good news.

Didn’t work out for him here & he didn’t want to be here. Outbursts and unprofessionalism can’t and won’t be tolerated under this leadership, which we should all welcome.

Unless you're referring to something behind the scenes, what outburst do you mean? Don't recall seeing many interviews with him to be honest!

 

[Cricko]

It's a shame but you could tell he just did not want to be here.. He showed glimpses of talent but they were few and far between and he was a danger to low flying aeroplanes at times. Saying that i wish him good luck for the future.

 

[Tommy2holes]

I would imagine we have been cleared by the league for a 1 out and 1 in approach.

Good luck to him. It never worked out for him and I'd expect to see him sign for someone closer to his home up north.

Expect an incoming player before Saturday

 

[Danshrimper]

Have I missed something as to why people are suggesting this means the takeover is close?

Surely it’s just a case of freeing up a slot in the 16 by getting rid of an unwanted player?

 

[OldBlueLady]

There is a quality player in there. Didn't he get practically assaulted by his ex team mates last year which began a long spell on the sidelines for him? When you're stuck a long way from home, that was probably quite hard for him and it took him a while to get back to fitness.

I always liked him, he had some very good moments for us and enjoyed the goals he scored. I don't understand why people are saying "good riddance", sometimes things just don't work out, and this is one of them.

I wish him well.

 

[JCB]

Credit to him for sticking around when he could have easily packed it in like Lopata did but his lack of effort towards the end did really start to grate. Best for both parties to move on now
