Obi Anoruo back at club

[Steeley]

Looking at the state of him when he was running with AH, he didnt look fit to be near the bench yet alone on it, so those seemingly so desperate to see him back should factor in his condition before making such calls IMO.

Fair enough he probably is unfit and probably isnt that good! BUT does that warrant Bayliss exiling him from the squad and not speaking to him?!
Maybe just maybe hes getting a bit of a reputation and players might be put off coming here, maybe why we end up with awful players like Aaron Cole and such before we manage to scrounge some loanees off Burnley no doubt through AH contacts.

Told you so x

You did indeed!

Absolutely ridiculous situation again, but sadly not surprising. The way we sometimes treat players is totally unacceotable, we can't keep doing it. I like Bayliss but if there is one thing that gives me reason to doubt him its this recurring situation, he's wasted a valuable wage again and frozen a player out for what was a relatively minor indiscretion.

[K-Man]

To be fair most footballers are bellends.

As much as i like Bayliss he doesnt do himself any favours. Do all his players have to be really nice chaps. Nicholas from what i remember seemed an honest nice guy, look where that got him!
Annoys me the most when were paying his wages and we havent even seen him on the bench when we havent had a full one.

Forget if obi is a bit of an idiot, or smith, or Mukendi, Bayliss shouldnt have been allowed to do this the numerous times he has.

Heywood
Nicholas
Jones
Ferrell
Mukendi
Onouro

Any more?

Boyd perhaps ?
Winn ?
Newton ?

Can't of played more than 10 games between them. The Newton one really [SwearFilter] me off, had the potential to be a good player.

Strangely, though, the vast majority of the squad seem to enjoy playing for him and show their passion with performances on the pitch.

Agreed about Newton, played well against us at Stockport.

However, he's paid to make choices and then act upon his decisions accordingly. Anoruo obviously did something wrong, I've never seem him play, but from what I hear, was unfit, quick at times, a handful for defenders and a pain in the bottom. He must have an attitude problem, otherwise Bayles would have kept him on. He'll probably return late in the season aka Nicholas in time to pack his bags and do one. On the other hand, he might come back fit as a fiddle with a new attitude, french accent and we will marvel at his turnaround! Nah.

i saw Anoruo first time in pre season and did say then"whatever we do hope we do not sign him because he was pants "and i got slated. Appears to be spoilt etc-you never know he may come back good.

[BERSATUBOY]

Echo as well. I said then he was a bit of a headcase. Lost money there Bayles

[mrsenario]

Then why not think outside the box or do something different throw him on against Macclesfield with 15 mins to go, let him earn his corn and one goal off him could net us 27000 on Saturday.......payback time bayles

[bigcod123]

or he puts an elbow-bad tackle in and resulting set play --well you know what happens there

Me too. It's there in black and white...a total waste of time and space.

From what I could gather, the whole thing was a crass move to try and get rid of a face that didn't fit. I'm glad it never worked.

The other story is he was trouble from the start, if that's the case I'm [SwearFilter] off that some law's seem to protect idiot's.

Suppose it's another of the "we'll never know the truth saga's"

I'd take these various stories with a large pinch of salt. Half truths and innuendo are all par for the course. Anyone who is vindictive enough to run a campaign to brass off and drive out a player cos "his face doesn't fit" is quite capable of orchestrating damaging fabrications leaked to fans.

[sanddevil-temp]

And Paul smith seems to be the most bitter man on the planet about not getting a new deal

He's another who hardly covers himself in glory with respect to his Twitter feed. Shame about his attitude - thought he could be a league standard midfielder. Certainly wouldn't have been a fullback!

As for Sean Newton. Disagree with the other comments on the thread. I thought he looked bloody awful and was glad when he was shipped back to Telford. It's all about opinions

He was quality for Stockport the other week. Will be a league footballer soon.

Is this not the same as this.....

Your basically saying there that it's ok for you to believe that DB could "drive a player out" is "vindictive" & is "capable of orchestrating damaging fabrications leaked to fan's" but telling others not to listen to half truths & inuendo!
So you either know the truth or, you are listening to people & making up your own mind whilst telling us not to do just that.

Sticking to the point, there are too many examples over too long for them to be random coincidence. It's highly likely that some of the players will have sought support from the PFA. Fans on here express concerns about the consequences of damage to the club's reputation within the profession. I wonder if that concern is shared by the BOD.
