They are all genuine until another club offers more money! This isn't unique to Barrow but applies to all leagues. Even the top 6 in the Premier League lose players who get better offers. Just look at Wijnaldum at Liverpool for example. At our level, you basically have to sign almost a new team every season if you have any decent players. You only keep players that no club with better finances want once their contracts end and some even before there contracts have ended! Morecambe are a good example having won promotion and lost half a team!

Thank you for all your efforts for our club, Scott.

As he gone? I was hoping he'd stay.

Clearly wants away, but surely the fee is the sticking point. I very much doubt we've inserted a pitiful release clause as some are suggesting.

He is 29 years old. What would be pitiful?

It's just where he is going few mentions of him on Shrewsbury forum being a fan.

Thought Hutton was ace today, looks like a decent signing

He didn’t want to risk himself hence the reason he’s not training and refusing to play as he doesn’t want to get injured as he’s pushing for a move.
His release clause in his contract is £150k

So here we all are talking about a value of £250k and then someone pops up with a £150k release clause. Strange as I dont recall such a clause ever being mentioned before. So fact or fiction?

I'm pretty sure he's on his way, but I dont think its the stellar move that we might have thought. As far as the EFL is concerned we are into pre-season and most significant transfers will have been done early. I did think it would be Bradford until they signed Lee Angol in a rather rushed deal that sort of suggested they might have moved on. Despite any protestations of love for Steve Cotterill even in League 1 you'd have to be fully in the eyeline and thinking of Shrewsbury to warrant that much money in todays circumstances and it doesn't feel to me like theres been a lot of reciprocation on that front. Any Bolton interest could be managed under the non-approach agreement signed with Evatt of course. So as Sherlock would say once you have removed these candidates what remains must be true. So hooray to Hollywood.

The player's problem here is that he has two full years left on his contract. Were that 12 months he'd be in a very strong bargaining position. As it is he has to find someone willing to reflect the contract in the value of the deal. He and his advisers cannot get around that unless BAFC were so utterly desperate for the money they'd accept a low bid. Even if that were the case and I dont think it s, that would create a bidding "war" and that also doesn't appear to be happening. So BAFC still holds to better cards and if it decides that Quigley needs to go then its bargaining position is stronger than some might think.

Hence my question about the "release clause". Because if there was a clause in Quigleys contract that allowed him to effectively walk if £150k was put on the table, I'd be surprised that he hasn't already gone by now. Also if its the North Wales Operatic Society that is the intended destination, then they would have to pay top dollar being as they currently are, a team from a lower division (though soon to be great again apparently) and currently with a shed load of money to burn.

He wants to go so cash in on him now I say. 29 now as you say. Stock is high after a good season. A woeful season next year and with just one year of his contract to go he probably wouldn’t command much of a fee.

What we don’t want is for this to drag on till the start of the season,I’m hopeful that that he will stay as he has always given 100% for us and he has shown that he cares about the club but if he wants away or if someone offers enough money for him then it’s better to do it sooner rather than later so that it gives us more time to get replacement when there are more players available and getting any new player integrated into the team so there’s no last minute chaos at the start of the season

His age is irrelevant - we're not going to replace him with equal or better for £150k.

We might already have better in the building in Zanzala.
