What's the problem with Cuthbert? He wanted to stay at Swindon but wasn't offered a contract.

I thought we did offer a contract, could be wrong though.
Regardless, it was still an odd decision for him to join Orient.

No it wasn't. They are in a higher league, and he had no idea of knowing how our season would have panned out.
We don't know about the money, but from a footballing side of things it's Orient all the way. Regardless, I thought Di Canio didn't rate his attitude, and that's why he didn't sign

You miss the point
Orient would not have been the only option available to him. A player like Cuthbert available on a freeby would have seen interest from other clubs aside from Orient.

Cuthbert is one of those players from the last few years who I can't really recall anything about.

So did Douglas. Made all the noises about staying then fucked off, utter cunt. |

I heard he didn't want to stay (Cuthbert).
Its academic anyway, he was great in the first season, hopeless in the second. An accolade that could go to many of our players last year.

Would Di Canio have met Cuthbert? I would have thought most were gone by the time PDC turned up. |

Cuthbert was offered a contract with Swindon, he chose to play in a higher league, he left us we didn't get rid of him.
Pretty crap defender TBH, had potential but will not make it any higher than he is currently playing.

With Greer beside him, very good. Without Greer by the side of him, very shit. No great loss. Promised much, delivered little.

I'm sure I read at the time that he wasn't offered a new contract. Anyway, I searched for the link and found it here in The Advertiser : http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindontown/news/9065454.Cuthbert_departs_for_Orient/SCOTT Cuthbert today joined Alan Sheehan in completing moves away from Swindon, with the defender joining League One side Leyton Orient.
Sheehan earlier came through a medical at Notts County before signing a two-year deal at the club.
Cuthbert's initial contract expired this summer, with the club opting not to take up the option to extend his stay by a further year.
"I'm absolutely delighted to have signed for Orient. As soon as I heard about the interest in me I was keen to come down here and get things sorted," said the Scot.
"It's a great club that wants to move forward and I want to be a part of that." Fair enough, he probably jumped at the opportunity to go to Orient but I never had a problem with him leaving. The others - Prutton, Rose, Sheehan and Douglas especially, were utter tossers. |

I dare say that there won't be many people beyond Bob Mills who craved a move to Orient more than Cuthbert  |
