Will be missed on the pitch and has been a good player for us. Have no complaints with him deciding to do this - there are bigger things than football. I’m glad that it all sounds amicable between him and the club, and if he’s walked away from his contract that’s a measure of the man (albeit he can maybe afford to do that more than most)

Maybe when the dust settles and there been some reflection Doughty may well want to invest in Town. He appears to be an incredibly honourable bloke and your family (regardless of employment) is the first priority. Especially considering Doughty losing his Father earlier than most. Perhaps he wants to make sure he spends time with his and of course being there for his wife too.
I'm not sad in footballing terms because there is always bigger fish to fry.
I just hope that Doughty, his wife and the little one are all ok. Cracking player. The English Pirlo will be remembered fondly here (yes the "Doughty...who?" was very much T-i-C earlier on). I do think in time, Matt Smith can be an even better player but this thread isn't about the Arsenal lad. Doughty, take a bow fella.

How about write something regarding the player? You know, something that reflects his contribution to Town rather than nitpicking one word out of my post.

I don't have anything to say that hasn't been covered above so it would largely be needless repetition.

Invest? put (money) into financial schemes, shares, property, or a commercial venture with the expectation of achieving a profit. "the company is to invest £12 m in its manufacturing site at Linlithglow" hth

That's helpful. I think that the usual view is that football clubs do not often yield much of a return.

When mentioning a human has contributed to something, in mostly a positive way there is never any reason not to add your own personal spin on it. I guess you don't wish people Happy Birthday/Christmas/Easter then because everyone else already has said it? Weird to comment on the thread at all really then. Let's actually just keep this one "Doughty". Dick.

Michael, you will always be Swindon. Don't stay away. Don't be a stranger. You should be proud of what you helped achieve at a football club that has seen better days. You were part of it. You'll always be welcome back.
Thank you.

Maybe another break from the TEF might help. Returning to the topic, it may not be outside the realms of possibility that he might return to playing at some point.

Doughts gave his all as a town player & for that I’ll be forever grateful. I hope whatever is his issues are resolved ASAP.

"Swindon Town can confirm that midfielder Michael Doughty has left the club with immediate effect for personal reasons.
Michael joined Swindon on a permanent deal in July 2018 and has been a vital member of the Swindon Town squad whilst in SN1. He was also an integral part of the club’s League Two championship winning season in 2019/20.
During his time at the County Ground, Doughty amassed 93 appearances, scoring 23 goals and making 25 assists, including a hat-trick on the opening day of the 2018/19 season against Macclesfield Town.
We would like to thank Michael for all he has done for Swindon Town and we wish him the best of luck for the future." https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2020/september/club-statement--michael-doughty/

Personal reasons do not necessarily mean issues or problems.
I wish him all the best.

This is true Samdy. Maybe he has felt more motivated behind his recyclable trainer business and didn’t feel he could do both. Time will tell.
I’m sure whatever he does will be a success.
