Coppello Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 If they've mutually agreed to terminate his contract they would've agreed a settlement of some sort. For Brunt to agree to it, I'd be surprised if it would free up that much space on the wage bill. A suitably bizarre ending to a confusing transfer.

eardun Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just now, TomThumb84 said: 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? Perhaps Brunt wanted out though. Who knows. May have been mutual which would have kept the termination payment down. He may prefer to move on and plan his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe Brunt was on cheap wage. brunt was on a cheap wage im not in the know usually but I do know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, the last two were capable players prior to joining us. Maybe I'm overstretching the point, but they were certainly better than what they delivered here!

Loco Rojo Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Maybe he's been offered a coaching role somewhere? Maybe back at WBA. The timing with his injury has helped him decide to go for it. Or maybe we just ran out of beds in the Injury room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thought this would happen. He was always going to retire after a season of poor performances with us. No point him travelling to Bristol every day for a bit of physio for the next 5 months. Offer him a reduced wage so he can stay home was always a likely outcome.

RedM Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 He was only signed until the summer anyway. I think it was soon evident to all he wasn’t the player he once was. Sad to see a player injured but the injury seems to have made the decision which suited all parties maybe? I doubt if on what we saw we would have extended his contract, maybe this depended on appearances which wouldn’t have been triggered. I see we now have recalled Pring.

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!!! Im not convinced brunt signing for 1 year affected morrell and smith leaving. in terms of a free transfer, getting him in was in the same league as gerard lavin, nicky hunt etc, ie poor. But as it stands, the loss on brunt is little compared to engvall, and a load of others over the last 5 years who have contributed practically nothing. And im hoping 2.5 million on joe williams isnt a massive waste too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Baffling signing really. Was never going to be in the squad week in week out, and was quite clear early on that his legs had gone. 1 less injury for us to worry about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
