No such thing. Promotion is the aim and if being ruthless to get the best squad is what it takes then so be it.
Glad MH is not nicey nicey with the players and trying something to improve the quality of the squad. Time will tell if it works but at least it seems he is happy to ship out those he doesn't think are good enough right now.

Surprised by the melt down on Twitter, simply not up to the standard we need. Don’t know if the new guy will be but we’ll see. The melt down reminds me of when we got shut of Devante Cole.

It's an unusual look to loan out a regular starter like that.
However, I think it's the right move.
For all the 'he never let us down' comments, he's a weak link in the back line for me, and that defence isn't doing well anymore. It used to have great stats earlier on in the season, but not so much anymore. It definitely needed freshening up, and Foulds isn't great going forward.
Providing Boli is actually decent, and assuming Ridehalgh is back to fitness and ready to provide back up, I don't mind this move at all.
Foulds didn't do anything wrong, and doesn't deserve to be denied first team football. Good luck to the lad, and again, we're sending first team squad players out on loan - which is GREAT! It shows the depth we have, and keeps them active at a relevant level.
This isn't like sending Reece Staunton or Finn Cousin Dawson to toil away at some distant, very low level, which is what we're used to, it's the sign of a big club with a big squad flexing it's muscles IMO.dn14bantam, Ollylondonbantam, Bantam Boy and 7 others like this. -

Bizarre. Either there's been a fall out or Hughes is planning a drastic change of system to wingbacks and doesn't believe Foulds can play that way.
Very strange, I think he's done well. Not great, but far from a problem.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...1975citygent, bantam2708, Silverbantam and 6 others like this. -
Surprised but not unhappy. We desperately needed an upgrade and in particular a fullback who can get up the pitch and deliver a decent cross. Hopefully the new guy will give us what we need.

If anyone thinks changing left back will cure the current sides issues, then what have you been looking at all season?
Left back has not been the problem

Interesting interview with Foulds from Parker in the T and A. I always thought Foulds would have been the one to ask for a loan move but according to this the club told him he was going out on loan, a strange decision for a player who had played the last 18 games at left back and had come out of talks with the manager feeling that it was just 'healthy competition'.
Its in the past now and the lad now has his permanent home at Harrogate Town, but i always felt the move was a strange decision from Hughes. The signing of Bola, albeit in hindsight, was a complete failure and the decision to oust Foulds left us with a player returning from injury in Ridehalgh as the only option.The Original EB, QCFC BANTAM, Bronco and 5 others like this. -
Makes sense. He's got another year and Bola is the new starter as Hughes wants an attacking full back and that's just not Foulds game.
No point him sitting on the bench for 6 months, might as well to go Harrogate and get 15/20 games under his belt under a new tactic, develop his game a touch and then go again next season. We get Ridehalgh back too for back up to Bola, win win for both parties.Ollylondonbantam, banbrotam, Smartmart and 4 others like this. -

As i said down to the manager and players to make it work. -
I don’t think a footballer wanting to play football deserves to be labelled someone with a bad attitude personally, as some other posters on here are saying.
Foulds has a baby and commute is important. He’s moved sideways in L2 and still stays within commuting distance. All makes sense to me. I wish him well, but more importantly, hope Bola is up to the task given he’s only played a dozen games in his career at an age where many will have played 150 ish+1975citygent, Jayteebee, Bantamsteve and 4 others like this. -

If he was a kid looking for game time experience then yes, however, he has been playing regularly for us and surely would improve here if he is to improve at all. He has more likely hit his ceiling and Hughes thinks that tooKing Cole, bantamdave41, 1975citygent and 3 others like this. -
