Was it really?

Honestly, McLaughlin, Williams, Duke, Doyle, have all been a blur. They could be the same keeper for me.

How anyone can make ludicrous comments about one or all of them being poor is beyond me.

They've all been reasonable. They're all League One quality, even if some competed above or below for a season or two.

 

Not a big Edin basher normally. Think some people need to get a grip and a lot of moaning is because people want a sugar daddy to spend millions, gambling for promotion. It's ridiculous people insist on this. Yes it's the most likely way to get promotion. The problem is that we have to incur a massive debt to do it and if we dont achieve promotion, well, we're fecked... The club was sold to Rupp/Rahic which i think means there was, and is, no sugar daddy prepared to bank roll this fantasy.

My issue is that he doesn't appear to match his words with his deeds. He wants to engender loyalty in players, managers and fans but frequently his actions seem to contradict thisi. He stresses patience but sacks McCall after 1 bad run. Appoints Grayson who is the antithesis of his philosophy. We have had several players leave who seemed to hold genuine affection for the club - Rory, Hanson, Hendrie and now Doyle. If we are to compete through other means, then I think it's vital our players have an affinity with the club. Affection is a two way thing. Edin is in effect asking players to rise above themselves but offering nothing in return.

In summary, we won't get far if a lot of our squad think Edin's an arsehole.

 

Rest easy lads - the worlds shittest oracle @south york bantams says we have it covered!

 

I'm looking forward to all the apologies from those who once again decided it was all Edin's fault and we hadn't made him an offer or had offered peanuts without bothering to wait for a club statement. But I suppose those posters will still believe Doyle's wife rather than the club.

 

It’s shit that the fans force the club into making a statement over every little thing these days .

 

She needs to shut up, she’s embarrassing her husband !

 

Can’t believe this has become a big thing just because Mrs Doyle has kicked off on twitter.

Been a good servant. Not a world beater and can be replaced. It’s his own fault if we offered a deal on same terms and he waits and waits without signing. The club have every right to say thanks but no thanks.

I cannot imagine the uproar if the club let Doyle have another 2-3 weeks to negotiate and think about it, he got another offer from elsewhere and turned us down and we were left scrabbling about for a keeper.

But no. The club have learnt to hold the cards and give themselves plenty of time to find a keeper. I think it’s a lesson they have learnt from previous seasons.


Good on them I say. Mrs Doyle, do yourself a favour and concentrate on your business and leave twitter alone for a few weeks. Embarrassing

 

Ill take Paul Tomlinson against both

 

Shame to see him go, decent keeper and good character.

But I’m struggling for to much sympathy in this case and Diengs. All contacts should have an expiration date the club needs time to find replacements.

They are entitled to negotiate and look for the best deals possible of course, but it’s been more or less six weeks, there aren’t to many jobs which would wait around for the ordinary person and footballers definitely don’t deserve special treatment. I’d suggest his agent needs to work to a faster time scale in the future.

Just hope we don’t end up with more shite like Sattlemier again or we are in trouble.

 

The fickleness of football fans. Six months ago, or whatever, people round me would have been ecstatic if Doyle had left, now the owners are the Devil itself for letting him walk away. Don’t get me wrong, I can be fickle too, football makes fans emotional.

I get it that the owners have not helped themselves on a number of occasions, made some real gaffes, but they offer a deal, the other party doesn’t accept it, there’s a parting of the ways. It happens.

I am all for the freedom to criticise decisions but it strikes me that for some if Edin offered them £100 for simply breathing they’d find some angle to hate about it.

Who didn’t want investment in the pitch? Who didn’t think club shop needed attention? I am honestly not their biggest fan but the vitriol around Doyle leaving seems way over the top to me.

 

My full name. Feel like I’m getting told off by my mum

 

To save money we will be playing Goalie when needed .

 

Yeah, I'm going to assume since I'm not in the know that he wasn't 100% happy with the deal on offer so tried to get his agent to negotiate better terms because if he was happy with the offer and wanted to stay he would have resigned.

The club have then decided they will look for a replacement, like lots of clubs do.

But this is some big conspiracy by Edin to make is fall out of love with our club more before he relocates us to North Shields.

 

Slightly surprised by the 'meh' response on here, and not just from the usual culprits. Doyle isn't Gordon Banks but he's more than good enough for the level we're at (and will be dropping to).

No-one could question Doyle's (of all players) loyalty to the club, but if he has been told the only offer is a pay cut, then that's Rahic taking the piss again.

Someone earlier suggested maybe we've got a replacement lined up: well on recent form, sorry if I'm not salivating in anticipation.

 

But will he be replaced by better, I believe that is what fans are anxious about, when you see the back up that was brought in and how they performed when they got the shirt through Doyles injury or International call ups.

 

Of course there will be still folk who won't believe this

 

Actually so embarrassing, what have our fans actually become? Club & player can't agree terms, this is football!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, feel ashamed to be associated with a bunch of our fans, it honestly does remind me of how the morons down the road behave.

 

The thing is its not just opinions anymore is it?

People believe whats on social media and then regurgitate it as some sort of truth on here.
