Most liked posts in thread: James Vaughan

Unless he's properly replaced then me too. Season ticket holder for over 30 years but the slow death of the club under the hands of a disinterested German is not something I'll bother wasting my time on.

 

So that’s Doyle and Vaughan we couldn’t use and have both left to rivals in our division. One went up as champions and I don’t think Tranmere will be far off this season.

We’ve got form under Rhodes for this so it’s no surprise. Windass/JJ etc

 

This says it all, “We saw in training that James had no desire to be here. We tried to get him motivated and excited but, having seen him up close, it became obvious we could not have his negativity around the group, and his departure became inevitable". I back the manager if it was so obvious the man was sulking.

 

Hahahahaahahahahahahahaahaha We've let our best player leave for nothing to a team in the same division who still had 2 years on his contract... You couldn't make this up. We are in a real mess right now.

 

nobody is questioning if Vaughan wanted out or not, that was clear..what people are questioning is the way the club have allowed it to happen.

 

Until a new CEO is offically appointed I won't believe Rhodes is leaving. Rhodes urgently needs to leave.

So with two signings in Spearing and Vaughan Tranmere have a better squad than us.

The only positive is that we have 2 months to get another forward in but if anyone thinks Novak, Donaldson, Clarke and Guthrie a good forward line up then they are firmly on drugs.

 

You said he wouldn't leave, 2 years on his contract you said. I hate to break the news to you, but he's gone.

 

if any money has been paid to this pretender i dont know if city will see any more of my money in the future. i certainly dont want my hard earned pension being wasted in this way. what a bloody shambles.

 

Stuart says he's talking to players (I imagine strikers) but he's having a hard time convincing them to drop to L2. This screams of us failing to sign said players, panicking and ending up with a Guthrie on deadline day.

 

Just got back in and seen the news on Vaughan and the differing reactions to him leaving - all I will say is yes it is now up to City to show their ambition and that planning has been in place for this but whatever we do Vaughan was already (and would have been increasingly more of) a negative presence in the squad and therefore HE HAD TO GO.
The club is going to be scrutinised on this happening (quite rightly) but Vaughan going was a no brainer if he was not committed. Before we hang, draw and quarter Stuart as failing to get Vaughan to buy into his plans lets see what happens next - I have a sneaking suspicion today is not going to prove to be the worst news for us as a club going forward

 

Christ almighty, are you deliberately being this obtuse?

Vaughan was under contract. Tranmere offered Payne in a swap. We said no. We probably asked for a fee. They said no. Vaughan was being a sulking Twit so we agreed to terminate his contract just to get rid.

Really not that complicated.

 

Its simple. He didn't want to play for us and our board found a cheap way to get shut of our highest earner.

Regardless of the best deal, yet again the person running our club wants short term profit until such a time he can cut his losses.

Make no mistake, we're league twos Charlton Athletic but unfortunately we have fans like @Park bantam instead of those that demand better.

You won't like this but the cows arse have had it spot on since the German takeover but the fingers in the ears brigade seem so far to have won the day.

I hope you are all enjoying reaping what you've sowed.

Mind you, it'll all be Geoffrey Richmonds fault anyway I suppose.

 

If he wants out, we're better rid - agreed.
We don't want a bench warmer on 3/4/5k a week - agreed.

What we want is a transfer fee for a contracted player that is wanted by a specific club.

That's how the transfer system works, that's what it's their for.

If the player has absolutely zero value, by all means come to terms on a release, but I hadn't heard about the crippling injury Vaughan suffered that rendered him unable to play, had you?

 

Bronco, just a 5 minute troll around the internet you can see issue's that have cropped up along his , as you say 16 club career.
When we signed him a mate from Town told me he'd be trouble.
Yet if we did any due diligence on him , we then felt obliged to give him a 3 year contract.
He fell out with Bowyer and rightly the club either back or sack a manager.
We in typical BCFC sytle actually did both

 

3 year's Broncs A 3 year contract
We a 4th division club gave him 3 years and as you say after 1 game you saw the light.
Where is our scouting / due dilligence. None that's what.
Why are we giving 3 year contract out to 30 something players in the arse end of the league.

Who gave the green light for this ?
Bowyer went to someone
Sparks Nah, Ruup Nah only leaves one other.

 

I would imagine the 20 staff made redundant at the end of July at Tranmere will not be happy they are splashing the cash this month

 

Tranmere will not have received any money from us but Vaughan most certainly will have sold his contract to the club to leave at a negotiated rate, Anyone who thinks he gave up a £200k a year contract for one at the salary cap for 2 years is in cuckoo land,
The deal however made up would involve a payoff to Vaughan
