Why is he a wanker? Initial suggestions make it seem like we we’re more than happy to see him a go? The fan base want him gone, and when we let him go (encourage even?) he’s unloyal and a wanker? Don’t get it at all. If we didn’t want him gone, we’d have said no.
Not sure what you mean by initial suggestions, do you mean from the club? and why is me calling him a wanker any different to someone else calling him a cunt earlier in the thread? I’m not remotely bothered he’s gone. It’s a shame he didn’t go earlier to be honest. If he had, we might well be sitting higher in the league than we currently are.

It would not surprise me at all if Power had facilitated the change, even if by not committing to next season. Fair enough in that circumstance for Flitcroft to prolong his career.

I think Mansfield offering him a long term contract was the tipping point with Power only saying he was guaranteed a job until the end of the season. That and obviouly closer to his home too.

Presumably they have to bring us a few quid for him as hrs under contract.

If were going into the realms of conspiracy I wouldn’t be too shocked if some/all of Mansfield’s motivation for wantig Flitcroft was to get back at us for our approaches of Evans in the summer

IIRC he was only signed on a 1 year rolling contract in June, so I doubt we even got much compo from them.

Strange one all round. Odd timing, odd choice for him to go although I can see why if it gives him more security. Might not be the worst thing for us either, although obviously it depends who comes in.
Wouldn't mind seeing someone step up like Matty Taylor or Peacock, but a few interesting names out of work.
Could always go for Sol Campbell though, one of the greatest minds in football... according to Sol Campbell anyway. At least he'd give Tom Smith a go.

I’m struggling to find any negatives in this news. There is a long list of positives.
Clearly we need the right replacement, but the bar has been set low.

A lot of the players are "his" men. Could cause a few to mope around. I guess it depends on the circumstances of his departure - they a professionals, I don't think it'll happen.

I'm not unhappy he's gone but the timing's fucking terrible, just after he's brought a few in who tbf improved the team and just as we start the run-in. It could un-mope a few as well though
