Been told today that the main reason he left was that he wanted captaincy in his new contract clause but Grayson wasn’t willing to offer that with Clarke having it. Strange that he jumped in at Bristol City and got he armbandt straight away ahead of their longer serving players e.g Flint, Pack, Smith


How we could do with him right now, still don’t feel the club did as much as they should’ve done to keep him ??

If that's true I'm glad he left then. Don't want the kind of player who would try to take the captaincy from teammate while using a move as leverage. Not a classy move.
 
If he wanted to be captain then fair play but there would have been absolutely no right in him taking it from Super Tom, and to use that as a reason to leave isn't really a justification IMO, but seeing as though he got given the captains armband at Brizzle in something like his 2nd game there, there could be truth to it.

He never said he wanted to stay, he never denied that he wanted to move. He never gave any indications of the contract "saga" getting in the way of his performances for the club and he left for another challenge, no doubt on 2 or 3 times more money given the way they spend.

I don't see how anyone can blame the guy considering he'd already been here for the better part of a decade and been one of our best players, and when it came to it he was very professional compared to plenty of others. He went with my best wishes and he will receive a warm reception from me until he does something to deserve anything different, e.g. like what McGeady did.

That is not what I was told..... and I know who I trust with what I was told..... and captaincy had nowt to do with it.

Its NOT TRUE ....

no reason you should believe me over the spreader of fake news but ask yourself "in his time here [ 6 years ] was BW anything OTHER than a CLUB & Community man?" often turning up to things voluntarily like the coffin raising and Rainbow House...

good post - far more to the saga than fans will ever know but your balanced comments are accurate.
 
Im not a gambling man but I suggest that tripling his salary may have had something to do with it.

Spot on John... I work with a bloke who was his neighbour when he played for us...

Im told he went from about £5k a week at Deepdale to £12k a week at Bristol - Cant blame him for going really !!
