Terry,

I normally try and leave internal club discussions alone, but how do you know that the Fax board haven't said to SG that you need to save £xxxx off the wage bill this year to allow us to balance the books, which then resulted in Springer leaving and SG looking to get one or more loan players in to cover the gap? It would not be unreasonable that SG had got loan players lined up to come in only to find that their club(s) give back word at the last minute due to a Covid outbreak, etc.

From an outsiders perspective I think all in all SG has done well managing the Fax squad this year.

Hello fevgrinder i have got my ticket for next week and even thou i think we could be on the end of a good hiding i am looking forward to the match next week. As for the points you make you could well be right i don't know if that is what the board have done if they have i will hold my hands up and say i got it wrong. But why would they sign the players mentioned and then within months force simon to get rid of them and tell him he cant replace them. And it is not just springer its brearley/ hewitt/ bourouh too surely we could of replaced at least one them by not doing so it as weekend the side and looks like wasting a good opportunity to finish the season as strongly as possible.

I don’t disagree that Fax could have finished stronger with all those players available to SG and I’m sure that he knows that. So on that basis I doubt that SG has let all those players go, whom I suspect have left for various reasons. It is just too easy to blame the coach, sometimes it his his fault and sometimes it’s not.

I’m hoping to meet up with Hudd-Shay and Bentlyman in Wakey before the Fax game, so looking forward to that day win lose or draw.

Dave have sent you a PM

Thanks, I have responded.

They are poster on here who are aware of what goes on behind the scenes at fax. And i speak to some of them at games and from what i have been told it was simons decision to move gadwin on he was not happy with is defence and gadwin was not happy about this they came to a impasse and gadwin left. It had nothing to do with the board cutting costs so i don't think this can just be passed off as me blaming the coach for everything. I wouldn't expect you as a fev fan to have watched fax tv and listened to simons interviews on this but how they have gone from we are looking to bring players in to we are sticking to what we have got in the space of weeks is bizarre. And stating that we cant because it would not be in the spirit of the game to do so when other clubs are i find hard to believe. He said we was looking for replacements for all of the players that have left at various points even Olly Russell who we only had for one game against you but no one as arrived yet.
