Agents Shinnie, Hayes, Rooney and Robson starting to activate Plan A? Maybe

Personally speaking, I think that both parties should take a step back and think carefully about the outcomes left behind, salvage all the good parts and move on in the right and positive frame of mind. The club were within their rights to ask for compensation based on past results and the club's development under Mr J.H.and the chairman was in the right to stand firm on this point. The Dundee United boss must be out of his mind to approach John Hughes and/or the club and expect NOT to have to pay a goodly sum for his services. When you think that good players go for much higher sums of money how can you underrate a Manager (who is the guy in charge of the whole development issue, for goodness sake) who has performed admirably and with courage heart and soul and over the past 1.5 years done so well. Not knowing what was discussed at Board level or what has transpired between the parties within the club, I have no further comment but one thing I do know is that Mr Cameron acted firmly and correctly and no one at the club deserves negative criticism.

From BBC : "Inverness CT boss John Hughes says at no time was there a chance of him leaving the club to join Dundee United. "The Highland club turned down an official approach by United to speak to Hughes who also told BBC Scotland he has no issues with the refusal. "Hughes also confirmed that talks were continuing over the prospect of a new deal with his current contract running out at the end of this season."

Miles is certainly very quick but I can't remember him being given too many killer passes here. The manager tended to play him out wide, not that he fancied playing him at all. It could just be that Miles has now found the ideal place to restart a promising career. I hope so.

Thanks for the replies. Duncan Shearer is a true Swindon Town great and will never be forgotten. Adam Rooney scored a few goals but was not exceptional. Lee Cox appeared to be a good player but, like Miles, was never really given a chance. Owain Tudur Jones joined us on loan, started brightly then faded and moved on after his loan spell. Maurice Malpas was appointed manager when a wealthy Consortium took over at a point when it looked as if the club would fold: not an envious task. He was appointed by the then Chairman whose aim was to make the club self sufficient. It was a difficult job for Maurice and he earned the tag of emotionless. We ended up with Paolo DiCanio but that is a different story. Don't worry Ronaldo, Miles could score close to a goal a game and Mark Cooper would probably consider this underachieving and when the goal return fell back to say one in two then he would be right. Sorry to go on a little. Best wishes to all.

Dear Mickey, Unfortunatley, Miles is rubbish and been playing very poorly and I would like you to pass this onto your manger. However, since we are decent folk up here and we took him on loan, I think we are obliged to work on him and keep him here for the rest of the season Hope this willl be ok and tell your manager not to worry.

Have you not thought that her reasons for leaving are entirely her own business ?
