    Billy Clarke and James Hanson were sold for about £350-400k between them IIRC.

    Unless I am wrong, Vaughan will be our player at the end of the season? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48756000

    However if there are ‘issues’ in respect of his behaviour, could he become Doyle mark ll, i.e. someone who ‘turns up’ but doesn’t put his ‘heart’ into it.

    May as well terminate his contract by mutual consent.

    Irrelevant. It did have at least one saleable asset as proven.

    Edit....actually 2 as pointed out above.

    I hazard a guess thats what will happen. Its clear he's left because of a fall out despite Bowyer claiming its because of an opportunity to play at a higher level. If ones still here the other one won't and i can't see us sacking Bowyer.

    Bowyer won't be here if we don't finish in the play offs mate. He might not be here if we lose today.

    Fans don't like him. The relationship is dead. He desperately needs a win today.

    I'm not so sure. Lose today and it'll be yet another abysmal result on the road against a poor side and the grief he will get will be unprecedented. Rhodes has got to be thinking about damage limitation now - ST drop is likely due to the god awful football and on the back of that window, even more fans are totally disillusioned, not to mention if we drop out the playoffs today. One way to appease supporters somewhat would be to get rid of Bowyer and get a bit of entertainment back at VP especially, albeit it wouldn't solve all our issues.

    I recall that when he came to us, that he had already had 11 clubs! With his subsequent transfer to Tranmere, then it is now 13 clubs. Something somewhere isn’t working out. Given his ability to attract yellow cards, a proportion being for dissent, then it may well be that he has the proverbial ‘attitude’ problem!

    I would appoint Neil Warnock as Football Director with a younger Coach to learn from him. Sack Boreyer and that muppet Dreary. Also get Rhodes to clear his desk and change all the locks so he cant "rise from the dead again" !

    It's ridiculous Bowyer is even trying to put that across as the reason. Tranmere wanted Vaughan in the summer so if playing at a higher level is so important to him, why didn't he chose to sign for them back then? This opportunity hasn't just sprung up, it was there in the summer! Equally, when you sign a player on a 3 year deal, you don't just say to them after 6 months that they can leave because they fancy a change, UNLESS something has happened that makes their working relationship untenable.

    Just hand it over to Gary Jones, I don’t care about his experience I don’t care about anything other than relieving GB of his tenure.

    Give him till the end of the season, it’s actually impossible for us to play any worse

    There is no point in asking for Gary Jones, he has made it absolute clear he is not interested in being a football manager.

    I believe Stuart inherited these 9 players :
    Colin Doyle, Stephen Darby, James Meredith, Mark Marshall, Billy Clarke,Rory McArdle, Tony McMahon, Matthew Kilgallon, James Hanson

    Solid back line, three forwards not a bad start for McCall, he saw what he needed elsewhere and recruited very well in midfeild with the likes of Romain Vincelot, Timothee Dieng, Josh Cullen, Nicky Law.
