Deffo pal , clubs communication on all matters is absolutely comical

Sign of the new owners?

You know. Given that last summer couldn't be much worse? All comms thru the Prince's accountant mate on twitter. Shambolic.

I'm still quite relaxed about our situation and whilst I'm eager to find our what's happening with everything, I still pretty patient all things considered.

However, I do feel the club's communication on some matters, particularly regarding players, has at times been disappointing over the last year or so.

It's bad enough having a supposed mate of the owner acting like some unofficial mouthpiece but we've had players and canteen staff breaking news about key players and staff leaving. You can say that's the individual's fault rather than the club but it still paints a picture for me about internal messaging and communication.

The good news is that if Egan goes to Forest and actually plays, then they'll get relegated.

He has been out a long time and even at his best he's a substandard defender in the PL.

He may do well for them the following season in the Championship though.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Egan struggles against big guys up front and over the top balls so won’t do well so is what it is

 

[NerdyBlade]

Gone. Quite a shock, and one i think we'll regret

Interesting that 10 days ago he was posting about looking forward to the new season with pics at shirecliffe in blades kit.

To now be leaving. Guess he wants a premier league deal, which is fair enough

What a fucking horrific year we've had. At this point I'd snap your hand off to finish 21st this season

Or it's another takeover related thing?

Either way, we seem an absolute fuckin shambles atm

Even as an aging back-up player we'd surely have been looking to keep a top quality pro like Egan. I recon it's one of 2 things-

1: His injury has meant we're not confident of him being able to justify a new contract
2: He believes he can get a better deal elsewhere and has left for financial reasons (See Wes).

 

[BLADEY D]

He won't be fit for at least another 4 months. Personally I don't think we can wait 4 months

 

[PrestwichBlade]

You can only hope this is a case of clearing the deadwood (by which I mean out of contract) and that there's some serious work going on in the background with the impending new owners, with signings ready to go when it's confirmed

If you are future owners then letting Egan go is probably the wise thing to do.

 

[Yogi]

A quality player who’s performances on and off the pitch are synonymous with some of my best times following United. A huge loss to the club and hopefully one we see again even if it’s just in the stands watching on.

 

[s20Blade]

Hope these potential news owners know that if you want the quality of Egan and Mcburnie but without the injurys it will be very very expensive.

I love the guy though. Not a single bad word to say about him. Responsible for the best pissed up song ever. A proper centre back.

Age, injury issues and being out of contract have obviously combined to make letting him go a bit easier for the club.

As far as I can remember, it's not even been widely circulated what his injury even is? How do you know his return time?

Was just saying this to a mate. I've heard from a solid source that he's still out til Christmas time at least so can understand why if we're in rebuild mode were not giving him a new deal.

The optics are awful, but behind that, it seems to be the right choice based on where he and we are right now....

 

[Sean Thornton]

GLTTL. A mainstay for much of the time. Sadly injuries are now a worry and the thinking must be we need players who aren’t missing for a couple of months each season. Can’t see a PL contract for him but all the best if he does, or wherever.

He probably just wants a deal full stop and we're still dicking about.

I'm sure he can afford to go a couple of weeks without any income but he either doesn't want to or has been forced to. Either of those scenarios piss me off!

 

[Oreyt]

Well at least I've got less chance of getting run over by his Mrs on Greystones Road now.

 

[biggiesablade]

This is terrible man no George or John. But Chris is still here but guess what its not Basham, its Wilder. Wtf

I’d rather not speculate on it being a shambles.

Should get some info on the investment in the coming week and it’ll be interesting to find out if what I’ve heard 2nd/3rd hand is indeed correct.

About the takeover? Or about players

You're going to leave it like that aren't you?

Tease.

GLTTL, one of the best.
