Yea I’m sure he’s well bothered. Increased wages and playing with better players against better opposition. I’m sure he’s gutted.

 

Let’s get it right before the bitterness sets in ............ the chance to play at a higher level on maybe more money and for his hometown club what would you do ??????
Maybe the nasty attmosphere had had a bearing aswell it’s all nicce and rosey now but that could change in an instance

 

It’s very odd and it’s across the board now. Fans seem to be obsessed with attendances like it actually means something.
Crawley made one of our fans looks very stupid earlier in the week. People seem to think season ticket holder numbers should dictate what league you are in. Bizarre.

 

..... in the division above and most likely on a higher wage.

Aye, blokes mental!

 

Best of luck to him, won’t be easy to replace will keep an eye how he gets on as he seemed to struggle with Burton and would expect Lincoln will be in a similar boat to them at the time.

I’d honestly be a bit concerned if I were them, they’re using our strategy of picking off better players at failing clubs as we did with Scunthorpe, difference being we were in the same league. If we’d brought in two out of contract players from 14th in the league below I dread to think the reaction on here and there would be some merit for the worry.

 

A move back to league 1, his hometown club and probably on higher wages. Hard to compete with that really. With Watt's Instagram post recently it wouldn't surprise me if he joined them as well

 

What's this obsession with crowd numbers. He obviously thought playing for his home town for a better salary and against a better standard of player week in week out was a more inviting prospect.

 

We finished 14th in League 2. No player is a 'great loss' in a team that finished 14th in League 2.
He was part of a team that didn't score enough goals.
He turned it on for the last three games when his contract was expiring.
Let's not make out Vernam is Messi.

 

That's a sore one. I'm just hoping the club don't think his replacement is already in the building because he's a big player to replace.

 

I'd have liked him to stay. But fair enough he's gone to a team in the league above. Fair play.

To loose that are crying in their tea.. Vernam was ok the last couple of months. The rest before hand was pretty much meh!

If we expect to keep good players at this club, then city need to do things right on and off the pitch.

Decades... Work in progress! Much to learn.

NEXT.

 

I'm not as convinced. But I never fell in love with the early season 'Vernham is god' narrative we had from some on here.

I also find his crossing is inconsistent - Ridehalgh is far better.

Of course, I'd rather he stayed, but he often faded badly in matches and had such an indifferent spell that Adams dropped him for the away win at Swindon.

Yes, he's been great in his last few matches - but I point out his inconsistency because surely that isn't hard to replace.

I'd cite Kyel Reid at this level was better and both he and Mark Marshall were even better in L1.

He is replaceable.

 

He would have been a great loss in terms of attacking ability had Chapman not signed. Now I feel we have upgraded CV-good business all round for the club.

 

As Sergio had just said look at the teams in league 1 next season, Vernam will be able to sample that big game atmosphere a lot next season while we go to Sutton and Stevenage.

 

'

I've read some stating they ain't bothered about leaving, that he was only good at the end of the season. Jesus, if folk can't understand why that was they should go and take up a different hobby, Adams at times didn't even play him, it was the football style of Hughes that was showing us the sort of player we thought we'd signed from Button. Anyone who thinks it's no great loss are just stupid.

 

12 goal contributions in 28 games… for a winger in what was mainly a season managed by Derek Adams then I’d say they are very good numbers and will be hard to replace.
He was our second highest goal contributor after Cook by 3 and didn’t get anywhere near playing a full season. We will miss him without a doubt.
