'Orns Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Maybe someone else has offered him a one year deal elsewhere...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Faith Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Maybe someone else has offered him a one year deal elsewhere...... This would seem more likely perhaps someone else has seen potential in him and he realises that he's unlikely to feature here any time soon unless there is a serious change in our attitude to our younger players. If he goes and makes a success of himself that will be very disappointing for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo_Nick Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Judging by Del's interview he thinks Holloway is good enough to make it but he questions his commitment- said something along the lines of "He has to convince me he wants it". Seems like the people on here questioning his attitude based on his Twitter comments were bang on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've offered him a contract if he signs for some one else they would have to pay us compensation, He isn't going to make it at championship level, if he was good enough del would of played him and bath would of kept him on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 He's off elsewhere, just been confirmed on Twitter. Hope he's got a good offer from another club and that he does well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

always hoping Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Isn't it the case that we have to offer an improved contract in order to get compo - which I doubt we did Sure that used to be the case.....? Think you will find you are on the right track with your thining. To be in a position to receive a fee a club would have to offer a contract of at least the terms. Assume an extension for 3 months only would not fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 anyone bothered? typical young footballer now a days, bad attitude and probably all about the money... I'll be bothered if he goes on to be a good player for someone else, yes. Couldn't comment on attitude as I've never met him, but I find the money thing strange. Surely anyone in almost any job who has been offered a 3 month deal with no certainty regarding a longer contract and a full time contract elsewhere would be a fool not to take the latter option.

Nibor Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 nope just a contract No, it has to be at least as good in terms of wages as the one he is on presently to give us compo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd be intrested to know where he's going, Does he stay and fight for a place work hard or take an easyer option at a lower club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'd be intrested to know where he's going, Does he stay and fight for a place work hard or take an easyer option at a lower club? Wouldn't say it's an easy option! He has 3 months to earn a contract here, could twist an ankle come 1st July and not have a chance to prove his worth. Going to a lower division club, on a guaranteed 1 year contract and fighting for his place is never going to be easy. Another 12 months and he could be released again. All he's got is another years money in the bank Good luck to the lad, hope he does well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Aaron Brown turning down a contract extension with us after a long term injury and then gradually fading into obscurity. Real waste of talent, though he only seemed to turn it on a few times a year for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No route is going to be easy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of like him to work hard and prove that he can make it, he must of not done that through the season as we would of offered him a contract like young Lewis Carey (the keeper) and Joe Edwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely anyone in almost any job who has been offered a 3 month deal with no certainty regarding a longer contract and a full time contract elsewhere would be a fool not to take the latter option. Well even with some of our more inept managers, I can't think of many if any youngsters we have released who come back to haunt us, the only exception might be Ryan Harley and even he is struggling to become a regular championship player, so I wouldn't worry too much, I suspect he has developed an ego which is about the norm for even young untried, untested players and I suspect that he will get a chance at a new club and then disappear into oblivion which is also the norm.

Regardless of what you might have liked him to have done, I just don't understand what's so strange about turning down a short term deal for a longer term one? Especially when neither guarantee anything at the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they were proven, experienced footballers, which Holloway is a long way off being. Easy to get rid of The lad has no real choice to be fair, get somewhere else, out of your comfort zone ideally, work your arse off and prove Del Boy wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
