Is now ommitted of the O/S sqaud list .
-
Grimsby are announcing their 8th signing tomorrow could it be Spencer?. I didnt think they rated him that highly to be honest.
-
According to wikipedia SWD rejected the contract offer!

I wonder if the SLIGHT reduction in budget has anythng to do with it?

Unless he or someone at the club has edited it, don't believe it until the OS says so...

If spencer goes i can't really see him going full time. the way his career has been it would be better for him to stay with us.

But, would it be better for us, that is the question?

No, its time to build without him, I always agree with players taking there time to sign to see whats there, but on the other hand they got to meet the club half way with time to build next years team.

I agree with you bostonshire
-
You're never too young or too old if you're good enough.

...................apparently Frankie Artus will be GTFCs 8th signing not SWD..........................
-
Craig has wrote on twitter saying there is definitive news on the future of SWD and Tom Ward has signed a contract
-
Personally I thought Tom Ward looked good last season and if he continues to improve could challenge for a place in the team soon.
-
According to today's Echo, Weir-Daly has had contract offer withdrawn. I wonder where he will end up.............?
-
I thought JL and LC were hired largely for their ability to keep most of last year's squad together? Massive fail on that front. That said, I think they're right to take decisive action on SWD.
What worries me are the names being bandied about as replacements - Joachim, Liam Parker and Matt Hocking. Hopefully they're "just having a look" but if that's the extent of the new managers contacts I think we're in for a Tommy of a season.

Is it the managers contacts or the size of budget that's the problem??
-
To me SWD is/was hanging around to see what offers were coming his way,if none came he would have signed for United.. Canners and Jase have done the right thing IMO,they need to know what squad they have and not be hanging around waiting for him to sign and lose the chance of getting someone else in....
-
I think some people have got to get real .. The new managers have got rid of those players considered not good enough . LRPA how do you suggest they could have hung on to Church and Pearson ? Regards SWD as stated by Crazy Neil the club came up with the right answer . Same with Yates and Clarke let them go and collect the silly money , many fans was happy to see them go as with SWD. Thanks to Chestnuts the mercenaries of non-league football do not get a welcome at Boston as in the past .
Simple mathmatics should tell us that at least six more players have to be signed so what basis can the team be condemmed .
-
I hoped he'd sign, but we've done the right thing because waiting this long was taking the piss... Good striker at this level but not likely to be effective any higher in my view.
-
I also think alot of people are bothred about us becoming an average bsn club but if thats our budget thats what we will be so maybe we wont get the players we want
-
Jason and Canner did i very smart move, we DONT want players who are unsure if they want to be here or not playing for us. we gave him the offer and he didnt give no response so f*ck him, we will move on!
-

We won't become an Average BSN Club i'm sure of that, we might have a couple of seasons in here where we don't do much, but whilst building for the future, because BSP is a big difference on/off the pitch, in all honesty when the fixtures came out yesterday i had a feelling of 'what could have been' knowing we would have had Lincoln, Grimsby, Mansfield, Luton etc.
But we wasn't going to go FT even we had gone up DN openly said that, so in the long-term having another season or 2 might help us enable we're ready as a club for the next level, remember last time when we went up 2 leagues quick? ... the rest is history
Oh and SWD? - Good player but not irreplaceable imo, had hot and cold patches and if he wasn't willing to commit Canners/Jase have done the right thing no-one is bigger than the club
-
The fact is Spencer was only ever using us as a stepping stone back to a higher level of football,but while he was here he contributed in a big way to our recent success, i for one wish him luck, and hope he does not end up at Gainsborough because of no other offers from above.
One would hope we have a good quality player lined up to score the 20+ goals a season we will need to compete, hopefully the compensation will be finalised soon and enable another push on for the conference,i suspect when we start to show a profit the club we will press on with plans for a new ground and can then look forward to a bigger budget for the team. A few good signings in the next few days will change the mood amongst the fans. Come on Boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
SWD's body I don't think would cope with full time training - are there any bigger part time clubs than us?
-
I think JL and LC have made the right move with SWD but lets not forget his goals played apart in our rise again, so im just gonna leave it at Good luck where ever you go and hope you find a club that does fit your wants.
-
Training with Lincoln is what they are saying on their forum

They seem to be looking forward to both him and Clare. Suggessting he has a sale potential back to the league is laughable. Good at our level but I'd have been worried taking him into the division above.
Lincoln are in it for the long haul.
-
SWD is not good enough to play for lincoln :bunny
-
Perhaps he was also waiting to see what players we'd be getting in? A shame to see you go all the best for the future Spencer!
-

I would say that he is too good to play for Lincoln, and I am talking about their qualities, not his ;D ;D ;D
-
Agree Wembley 85 . with the dross Imps are signing SWD would be certain to make the starting line-up . What other BSP team would waste their time looking at Clare ?. Seems Tilson knows little about BSP and its players.
-

Agreed GHM, and we can expand that further by asking what he knows about League 2 players ;D ;D ;D
-
Could be heading for a conference team but none which have been mentioned!
-
Alfreton / Mansfield . . take your pick..
-
None!
-
Oh wat fun..
-
More to the point, if he is not signing for us who gives a S**T.
-
I'm very suprised by all the negative comments towards SWD. When he played for us he put the effort in and I would say whilst he has been at the club out of all the players in the squad he had the best touch on the ball. I can understand why he wants to have a go at full time if he can get it.
He played a really important role in the revival of the clubs fortunes on the pitch and maybe would of beat Newsham to top Goalscorer if he had been at the club for the whole season in 2009/10, top scorer last season too.
Its not like he did nothing for us over the 2 seasons. I would of liked him to stay and personally I think we'll struggle to get someone of his ability and work rate to replace him. I understand Canoville and Lee's stanch on him taking too much time to give an answer to signing for 2011/2012 but understand why he waited, hey he might miss out and end up worst off but in life you only have one chance and maybe he thinks this is his last chance to step up again. Personally I think he could step up to BSP level. We shall see but I think in the two seasons with us he has been a very good servent to the club but also I think the club have helped him too. All the best SWD, gonna miss the song too.. Do,do,do SWD!!!

Has anyone actually thought that SWD has taken stock of the situation, seen the mediocrity of the signings so far and thought 'sod this, I'm not being part of a mid table side after the last 2 good years' and exercised his right to look elsewhere?
Or are we not allowed such thoughts for fear of upsetting the happy clappers and performing seals that would applaud a washing line full of Utd shirts on here?
I liked him, I wish him well. I didn't think he was quite the player after Xmas that he had been for the previous 12-16 months but he was one of those who made things happen. I don't see anyone like that in the side at present.

We've only made two signings at present (Hall and Fairclough) so I don't see how he can base his movement on that, as most signings come after a glut of trials in pre-season. As he didn't return to pre-season, he won't have seen any of those in the offing from the first couple of sessions. I get the feeling his mind was made up before the season ended, but the poor form at the end of the season may have cost him a move up that ladder.
-
I'm of the same opinion as you, he's at the highest level he'll ever attain, he's probably doing what most lads do now and looking for another club and another signing on fee.
Be interesting to see his reasoning, I just hope its not as laughable as Yates'!!!!
-
Pretty sure the reason SWD was less effective after Xmas was because he was struggling with an injury - for much of that time we were struggling for goals, so needed him to play. At least SWD was willing to play when not fully fit, unlike some players we've had in the past. I though he was just getting his sharpness back towards the end of the season, so disappointed he is not staying, but also disappointed he wouldn't give the club an answer one way or the other. Seems clear he hadn't had the offers he thought he might, but has decided to take his chances and look for a higher club - good luck to him.
We need 2 or 3 new strikers now, especially if Newsh is not fully fit. Most of the names mentioned so far in the rumours are defensive players - I hope we also have some good options for forwards.
-
Apparantly we have a current international on trial...
-
And the son of an ex player on trial.

Think Tommos lad is a defender though. Mind if he is as tough as his Dad sign him on.
-
Is Paul Hall still an international? He was at Spalding for a couple of games last season.
-
It's not him.
-
So i've heard the international plays for Montserrat and played for Loughboro Dynamo looked on wiki and the only player who has done that is Jaylee Hodgson

You were correct ;)

Montserrat! That little island I saw from Jolly Beach Antigua! Famous for an erupting island and Jaylee Hodgson!!!

And Ruel Fox!

According to scott Dalton twitter site SWD was a sub for Eastwood Town, thought he was going to a conference team.
