The fiasco over the season ticket nonsense. Followed by JL's grovelling apology over the lack of love to fans. Saying we need to do things better, followed by ........ nothing. Lack of love to fans ? People are upset by this ? Do you want the club to send you a box of Milk Tray with a bunch of red Rose's? FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Even though the club have been massively poor with communication (it's like we're turning into Scientology) and by the looks of it decision making recently. I don't actually blame them for this issue with Korey, they we're probably waiting for the announcement of the new manager. Usually a new manager will say their bit on Korey especially if it is Dean. It's because Bristol Post ran an exclusive that prompted Korey to clarify which is fair. I also don't blame Gregor for reporting it because he's obviously been told nonsense from someone and he's held his hands up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Just read the official site announcement concerning Korey and I think it is very sad. Since shutdown I thought he was still our best midfield player. Good luck Korey and thanks for being such a great player and example to everyone.

We announced loans on Friday, not that Nurse or Cundy we’re gonna be in 1st team plans. I’ve heard (not reliable source) that a younger player has been released too, and a bit unexpectedly. So only posting to say stuff might be going on without agreement of new manager. I’m not trying to be ITK, because I’m not, but I sometimes hear things, but it’s always from a mates mate if that makes sense. Bakinson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be complete coincidence they were going to be putting that up today. Other news seems to be happening now with loans and stuff. Korey was always going to get a farewell message. I can't believe fans think they wouldn't when they have for Taylor, Wright and so many others. Timing was terrible Jon . Can’t believe some won’t criticise the club no matter what.

It's happened before, it will happen again. What's more concerning is the fact that so many are desperate for news, so have jumped on the Gregor bandwagon as he's the only one releasing news/updates- regardless of whether they are correct or not!! "Gregor says it's not true so there". As nice a bloke as he may be, he knows about as much of what goes on inside the club as I do! As for Korey, best wishes to him and his family, would not be surprised to see one of the newly promoted clubs sign him for his experience and leadership. He's been unfortunate in the past few years because of the injuries, but that's in some respect a result of how he plays - he will give everything. A top man, who will always be fondly remembered. Get your point about Gregor but the reason that people are desperate for news is that the club are saying nothing of any substance about anything and haven’t for weeks now. And he has been accurate a number of times of late People are furious with the club at the moment and rightly so imo. The manager search and impending Holden appointment, the length of time it’s taken to get to that point, the comments about ‘hundreds of applicants’ and ‘pushing on’ before appointing Holden, the lack of any effective subsequent communication strategy about anything... all of these things have been completely shambolic and it gets worse by the day at the moment. Going back a little further the way the refund saga was handled was so appalling that even Jon Lansdown felt the need to apologise. This Smith situation is just today’s instalment....

At the moment we have chaos being caused by a combination of a very quiet club and a local rag trying to feed the fans information when they are either totally lacking in sources or being fed bum information from within the club. Either way it is not reflecting well on the club itself and is a definite area for significant improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Considering there’s a bloody giant mural in the ground for Smith from the Man U game the statement is underwhelming and looks rushed out.

Agree to an extent. The fact that Talksport actually had the audacity to announce terms had been agreed with Hughton was pretty staggering.

Nogbad the Bad Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 SL warned us not to get too emotionally attached to players. Arguments on both sides re. Korey, but imo. the right time to part company. I don't want senior players given contract extentions just because they're popular with either fans or the board. Like Carey for instance who stayed at least a season too long. Good luck Korey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point from day one is that quite simply nothing has been confirmed at this juncture and until it is substantiated why get our Y-Fronts in a tangle.

It was obvious then, he was not part of our plans moving forward. We could have, alongside Korey released something then during July as a proper goodbye; rather than this shocking state of affairs today unfortunately. Left out? Was confirmed that Korey himself asked to be left out for fear of injury. As you say, pretty much confirmed it for me, plus not on retained list either. 16 minutes ago, RedRoss said: Even though the club have been massively poor with communication (it's like we're turning into Scientology) and by the looks of it decision making recently.

Redrascal2 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Very sorry to see Korey leaving. Great player for us and the last one left who had a backbone and would play with determination and a bit of bite. God help the powder puff team that Johnson and Holden have created next season. Led by one of the coaches that helped develop it. Shambolic handling by the club but after the last 5 weeks of farce I guess we should expect no more. Best of luck Korey and all the best to you and the family in the future. Thank you for all you did for BCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
