Might be on his way.

Another high earner off the books. Been surplus to requirements since his injury.

Shame as he is one of the decent ones in football and always gives 100% but I can understand why he is only a squad player, I think it was really Sturrock that done it, moved him into midfield he had a few good games there and Malpas played him there at times but Wilson says that Peacs is a striker and unfortunelty I think at this level now he is not quite good enough.

We really seem to be trimming the deadwood from the squad which is great.

Pubs in Old Town will be gutted first Aljofree potentially going then Peacock that will be a big hit on business.

On a serious note very happy that we are continuing to get rid of the deadwood in the squad and removing players who have not contributed to the team in a long time, losing the large salaries these players were on will be a big boost as well.

What's the source?

Peacock has featured a little bit this season so I'm surprised (if true) in that respect.

Was on Wiltshire Sound this morning in same bit as Pericard signing today.

Wish him all the best, been a good servant to the club and always popular with fans

Pity if true but not unexpected. Always has been a 100%er for us. Thought he might end up as backroom staff here but probably has more to offer playing at a lower level. Good thing is that with this and possible Caddis inclusion it really shows Towns intent. An additional forward in now would also be good, not sure yet about Pericard though.

Peacock is past it now but would hate to see his Swindon career end like this. Great servent to the club, great with the fans and very respectful. Gutted if he goes.

If he's past it as you put it, then he has to go surely?

As I've said elsewhere, I'd keep him on a contract that reflects his value to the side- if he is, as people speculate, a top earner, then he should go.

will you go to the rememberance service

When I say Gutted I mean it in the sense that its a shame he is past it now as on his day he was a great player and a great character as well, he seems to love it here. Was great for the fans and younger fans etc as well. Probably a top earner so yeah it is time to go but shame his time at Swindon ended this way really.

Was he a great player though?

Yes he played well a few times, and scored a few goals, but i found him distinctly average. As a person, yes he has a great personality and is good for the fans.

Im still struggling to fathom how he won player of the year in the promotion season, when Jerel Ifil had a far better season

Peacock has done so-so in his four years. He was a fan favourite during the League Two campaign and he has been kind of riding that wave ever since.

I believe his best days were behind him when he signed for us (even though he was only 29).

I thought he was very good when we returned to L1, This may or may not be because of the promotion and the confidence from that I'm not sure. Thought he was very good in midfield with Easton. But yes his days were behind him when he got here, I guess there is a bit of sentiment because he actually seemed to care about playing for Swindon. But no room for sentiment now I guess as we are in a promotion race! 

When you have players like Douglas and Ferry in the middle of the park you realise how below par previous efforts in recent seasons have been.

That's not Peacock's fault - but he was no more than adequate but he put a lot of effort in which is always appreciated by fans.

hmmmmmmmmm

I think I would beleive the beeb over the adver to be honest.

RS said that he may be on his way. Not definate. I personally think his time is up, and if Caddis signs then he will be even further down the list.

He's finished whether he's here until the end of the season or not.

NO smoke without fire??

given that we've shifted casal and aljofree in the last week, peacock following would make sense.

i don't think anyone would be disappointed to see him leave as league one is not his level anymore, certainly not 'our' level. i imagine he's on a pretty decent wage too.

if he does go, it'd be a shame - he's been a committed to stfc and has genuine affection for the club and the fans

If Aljofree, Casal and Peacock go then that must release around 250k a year in wages...if not a lot more based upon Casal being on probably 1k a week and Aljofree and Peacock being on 2k per week, which I think is probably a pretty conservative estimate it could well be a lot lot more than that.

Peacock is a nice bloke but he is past his best by a long way now, its sad but we need to move on now and let him explore new pastures and thanks for his efforts in the past.

I feel the same way about this as I did when Migs went. Good servant to the club, likeable guy, but injury prone and now not looking like he'll be troubling the first team. If you're on first team wages, then it's best for both sides if he can move on.

So thanks and good luck.

Needs games to get back to some sort of form. 

I think he has a few goals left in him but with Austin and Paynter up front plus the midfield we have at our disposal then it makes it difficult for him and the club at this stage in his career.

Good luck to him.  Has anyone got the Only Fools video outside the Trust Office?

Same.

He's not going to earn another contract here so he needs to be putting himself in the shop window to get a contract in the summer. A loan/transfer away would do him the world of good, especially with the lack of reserve games for him to show scouts what he can do.

mmmmmmmm Peacock denies any move away rumour!

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/4850779.BREAKING_NEWS__Peacock_denies_move_rumour/

Really? ;)

Smoke & Fire maybe?

Except Migz when fit was class, whereas Peacock is useless

Dazza,

If you want to see an enthralling video of somebody playing with his windscreen wipers here you go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1abE1n-GPVg

Cant find the only fools one though

Tee Hee I do that to my colleagues everytime I leave work!!

he talks bollocks in every interview he gives the adver.i'm a striker,i'm a midfielder,i'm a striker,i'm a midfielder.

i hope he leaves as i think he still has something to offer the right club,ditto easton.surplus here though

As Gazza said earlier, its a shame its ended this way for him.

I think he has been a good servant to the club and has been a very good player. He played a huge part in getting us out of L2 at the first time of asking.

He then did a very good (and seemingly forgotton) job in midfield in our first season back. Malpas decided he was a striker again and its all been downhill since. Huge mistake by Malpas and I think we missed Peacock in the middle last season and it wasnt untill OTJ came in that we seemed sorted.

I know it means nothing but he is a really ace bloke with a very infectious personality.

I do however, think his playing days are over - the last injury was one too many and if he hadnt had the back problems he'd probably still do a job for us. He also seemed to give a shit and always gave 100% which not every one does.

I think he'll make a good coach some day - maybe here with Wilson.

When you think of some of the utter, utter, utter fucking rubbish we've had over the last 5 years Peacock is certainly one of the better players we've had.

....and lastly as someone mentioned him, Migz was never injury prone - utter myth.

Except in his final two seasons with us

Kids LOVE him! My godsons will be gutted!

Iffy didnt play him because he didnt like him.

You're in denial Dave - he was injured.

He and Iffy also had a falling out.

I also never claimed he wasnt injured - just he wasnt injury prone, like say Barry Corr was.

Think he only missed a few games when Iffy was in charge, seem to remember he played every game once back from injury proper.

The season before that he was out for ages though.

As statto then (think you've done it before) how many appearances each season did he make for us then ?

I'll double check.

I think he played every game in his first season, alot in his 2nd, not alot in his third and a decent amount in his 4th. I think he averaged 37 games a season.

2002/03 - 43(+2)
2003/04 - 37(+2)
2004/05 - 19(+5)
2005/06 - 23(+5)

Total - 122(+14)

That averages out at 30.5(+3.5) per season. 34 games, close ish.

Compare that to a real injury prone player Barry Corr.

12(+22) in his two full seasons here - 6(+12) per season. Not include his 8 game loan spell.

:eek:

Fucking hell. If you're right or even within 10% of that figure i'll be genuinely shocked. I was thinking more like 20 or so a season.  :-[

be shocked.

DV and his Migz-games-per-season stat, it's a while since we've seen that old chestnut!

been a while since anyone claimed he was injury prone :)

I'm just dissapointed I no longer had those stats off the top of my head. 3 games out, poor.

Didn't you bring up the injury prone thing anyway Rodney?

And injury prone means you are prone to injury, which Migs was - he had lots of different injuries, regardless of how many games he played. Obviously the knee was a recurring one.

if you average his 2 last seasons, his time on the park wasn't great in performances and playing time.i thought his form wasn't all that during that time and him leaving was right for all concerned.

Let's not have this debate again

Meh, he was always going that season. He didnt seem quite right under Iffy at all. Apart from that game at Rotherham at centre back.

Would have loved to have seen what Wise could have got out of them though.

Heard at Xmas that Bournemuff were lining up a loan move for him, but the league have vetoed that move, they still have a transfer ban in force!

Peacock has done nothing wrong for us, always rather have him around the club than some stuck up twat thinking hes all that.  Always did a lot off the pitch! Good luck

Exactly how i see it....good player..was never really consistent enough.

A true man for the club. You cannot fault his commitment and his personality is fucking ace.

When he plays, his effort is immense. It's just that...well he's not as young as he was. Jeez, if somebody in his early thirties can't take the pace then I really need to look at those GTi wheelchairs with the alloy wheels and pinstripes...

Peacock is worth his influence in the dreesing room and the way he plays up to the fans - a really showman. Give 'im a testimonial!

erm., no, that said Roberts got a testimonial. Peacock is a thousand times the player Robbo was.

Don't feed the troll.

Roberts was a better player.
Combine Roberts ability and Peacocks attitude and you'd have some player.

Still wouldnt be as good as the likes of Parkin, Mooney, Cox, Austin.

Roberts was a poor striker for us.  Peacock is no better then Roberts, but people liked him because he always gave 100% effort.

I liked Roberts on the wing though, unafraid to have a go and run at players, even if the crowd was getting on his back.

Bit like Robson-Kanu in respect.

off to stockport county perhaps....

Wherever he goes you can't help but wish him luck. Always gave 100%, even if it isn't good enough for the squad we have now. You can't ask more than that.

Peacock did very well and I know he wanted to end his career in Swindon. Probably got a bit to give in say an average L2 side. Not good enough for L1 now I wouldn't think. Wish him luck ofcourse. I'd imagine Stockport or Carlisle will be the likely destination. If he goes to Grimsby he will be playing in the Conference next season.

What Batch and Gazza said. Great servant to the club, always had time for the fans, wish him all the very best. (Or Carlisle if the very best isn't an option :))

Totally agree ALWAYS had time for the fans. Good Example was Lee P, Monkhouse and Ifil when on the tour in Ibiza and Peacock stood with us for about half hour chatting in the west end of San Antoni about relegation, football etc just having a laugh. And Charlotte can testify to the kind of host he was at the team sponsors dinners.

Good luck to the lad. He always gave 110% and was a good team-player; although not quite good enough to be a 'Swindon Ace' as the Mirror call him!

Oh Grimsby Town
Is full of fish (and cock it would seem)

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1947527,00.html

good luck

Great player on his day shame about all the injurys he had

Grimsby are shite. Very surprised at that.

Never been there, but I get the impression its a shit-hole.

He's done well there, a contact til June 2011!

Gutted he is gone. Great with the fans as noted above but no sentiment in football I suppose. Good Luck to Lee P. I for one do not have a bad word to say about him. Shame his STFC career ended this way though.

From the sidebar of that article:

Seems a novel way of disposing of players surplus to requirements, but if it works ....  "Free STFC mug with every Yinka Casal"

Great example of a lower league player.

I loved the bloke me...

Just never going to get into the team now... :cry:

Goodbye and good luck mate.

Opposite of Ajokefree...he can fuck off. >:(

I used to love away days to Grimsby, especially for the fish and chips and a walk along the beach (I didn't go for cock though).

I decare today

NATIONAL "THE COCK" DAY!!  :ty:

Spot on. I don't think one fan of STFC has a bad word to say about Lee Peacock.  Good Luck Lee you will be missed, thanks for your 100% effort every game you played in, You were a credit to Swindon Town Football Club.

Why than you kind sir...

AND... please react when i bellow GAZZA!!!!! outside the Town End bogs!

Like most I've always had time for him, especially after some of his immense efforts in our relegation season under Iffy when he was our most commited player despite a fucked knee.

He's no longer good enough though - partly beacaise we've got better, partly beacuse he's got worse due to injuries. Last few times I've seen him play he's looked serious immobile.

All the best anyway. Wish we'd had a few more players with his attitude over the past few years.

Don't go there - its worse than you think !

I was a bit taken aback really some bloke yelling FLASH outside the gents :D ... Thought No one wants to see that! haha. I did say hey back but it was all a bit exciting in the smoking shed....erm gents toilets haha

Ive started some love on Facebook!

http://www.thefishy.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1264760869/s-0/

They all seem quite happy with it.

Good luck to him.

Good Luck The Cock !

Good luck to him, I hope it works out, I think he may be what they need down there, a young tema struggling once Peacock has had time to impose himself I think he can really help them.

Like to see him back at the CG sometime though so fan;s can say a proper goodbye to him, he has never once complained or wined or moaned at not getting into the team his infectious personality get's everyone going.

if he can stay fit he'll do a good job for them.

A proper fans' player.  Good luck, Lee.  Your picture will continue to adorn the wall of my downstairs toilet (in a completely non-dodgy way).

Always liked Peacock, properly committed player and the midfield move improved him, at least until he got moved forward again. My only concern is with such great moral at the club, will someone with his infectious personality leaving affect the dressing room decorum?

I doubt it will affect decorum, unless you think Lee P is a particularly civilising influence who discouraged unnecessary nakedness, excessively ribald jokes and towel-whipping related pranks. Might affect morale though

A great servant to the Town who unfortunately is now past his best-good memories though,winner at MKD a particular highlight and his MOM performance at Lincoln on the telly.Always willing to chat to the fans.Good luck to him.

Bet it's that one of him from 442 in his pants!

Unless the players get changed or train in the physio room or the Gwh i'm sure they wont have seen it much.

 A sad day marking the last link to the side, that could boast Cox up front, The Cock and Boob in midfield and Minge at the back.  :bye:

What about Phil Smith?

I can't even find a comment about him after the article about him leaving on thisis, which speaks volumes in itself.

All the best peaconator

I'm guessing you missed out a word there?

I think you've totally missed the point

Unless he was calling Phil Smith a cunt

There was loads on there earlier, all wishing him the best.

Wiggy's been drinking, obv more than me as even i spotted that one.

Oh God - the shame - call myself a bloke and can't even spot a bit of schoolbot toilet humour.

Good luck Lee - you're a real showman.
