Prinny Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 But what about his great leadership and experience that he could help the team with? What happened to that? AND, AND AND AND Most of the season, not the rest of the season. So we decided that paying him off was better than having him back at the end of the year.

Simon bristol Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I cant recall many times this has happened before? And usually the club would allow him access to medical and training facilities like with maenpaa, i assume he will go back to west brom and use the facilities there? Good luck to him, i wouldnt go as far as saying this has been a disaster but it doesnt reflect well on whoever wanted him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 His availability for WBA was really good especially considering his age, couple of months at city and he’s sent to the knackers yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhhshauntaylor Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 14 games too late. waste of money from day 1- and surely undermines the “experience off the pitch” quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loco Rojo Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Probably best if he's injured and out for the season. Starts to free up some space and salary wedge now we're in January. Good luck to him. Just didn't work out and possibly in the same bracket as Adam El-Abd (a legend for his previous club but a failure here).

Spunked a load of wages on a complete has been who contributed nothing but took up a wage.....& may well of been the reason Korey Smith was let go!!!

Korey was let go due to the numbers in midfield prior to Brunt signing. Brunt was then added on a cheap wage to add extra experience 5o the squad. Brunt was never the Korey replacement, Williams was.

Does that get accounted for in a different column to the salary costs/budgets though? Or is that a bit to 'Football Manager fantasy' way of thinking about it compared to reality?

Hopefully that was the case, as i said “may” have been the reason Korey went, which i wasn’t against at the time as it did seem sensible on paper....but the Brunt deal never looked like it was gonna be a master stroke. I don’t believe Brunt was on cheap wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Something odd here. Signed as much for influence off the pitch and around the dressing room and yet not kept in and around the club in any capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, as i said “may” have been a contributing reason to not perhaps offering what Smith wanted, so not fully sure, either way hindsight is a thing of beauty.
