I would be surprised if the undisclosed fee is as much as 6 figures. Given the recent financial statement from the board I think this move is as much to do with saving money over the summer months as anything else.
Sorry to see him go, was a good player, but not irreplaceable.
It is not fair to judge McCall after such a short period of time, we still have a fair chance of top six and we may even sneak a result against United in the cup (providing it's not rained off).
Some of the performances have been poor and reminiscent of the Malpish season. I do not see the threadbare squad as an excuse for this though as we have seen in recent years what good managers can get out of this group of players.
The decision to play Hammell or Gunning at right-back was bemusing last night...
I'm sure I read that he was able to wangle the Blackman loan deal due to his relationship with Allardyce, so I am sure he will be on the phone to........ oh.... maybe not so much!
