Cant say he'll be missed...........maybe heading over the bridge?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Feckin great news. Another Brewster/Muppet disaster.

[SMEE]

Good move! Frees up a wage for perhaps a more capable player

[Kingsmills]

Pleased with this news.

[Yngwie]

Glad to hear he's away, but I imagine this has cost us a lump sum pay-off.

My thoughts exactly Yngwie. He still had another year left on his deal and from what i heard he was a high earner. Not dissapointed that he is gone he was one of the most overrated signings. But we shouldnt be paying players off in our situation.

[+The Fly]

I sort of agree with not paying off players, but if we managed to do so by paying less than a whole year's wages then it was probably worth it.

[+CaleyD]

Thought he might have been more than capable of doing a job in the 1st.....and didn't always agree that he was out of his depth in the SPL.

We're going to need battlers for the forthcoming season, so seeing one leaving doesn't hit me as being "great" news.

His fitness levels was concern for Butcher

[CaleyMad]

McGuire is a legend. All the people above know nothing about true talent.

thought mcguire did a fine job in the spl, his problem was not getting enough time to form a partnership with another central defender.

remembering that clearance off the line against celtic. a good defender, strange decision to have paid him off. Maybe he already has a club in mind and it was mutual termination?

[Scotty]

caleyrule posted a plausible explanation above.

I am kinda on the fence with this one. If he is not in TB's plans because there is something he doesnt like that he sees in training then fair play to cut down the wage bill. We may have to pay him off, but its likely to be less than the value of his wages for a year.

[12th Man]

Yippee!!

A central defender that doesn't use his head lets in a lot of goals, was he injured, I don't think he was even used in the reserves of late.

Maybe Brewster has put in a good word for him??

I think he was injured most of last season as far as i remember to be honest

[tm4tj]

He seemed to do better when he was in sole charge of the defence while Grant was out injured. Better at leading than being led.

[Alex MacLeod]

Was he not brought in in january after Brew came back on a two year deal? If so then he only has six months left.

It was a 2 and a 1/2 deal i think its mainly if you sign a contract in Jan its a so many years + 6 months deal

[Bronson]

I'm glad to see him go. I believe he was on a wage that wasn't a kick in the ar5e of what Marius was getting.

[vinnie87]

no he was one of brewsters deadline day signings along with proctor in the summer transfer window when brew came back. He actually did a job when he came in as we had just lost 6 on the bounce and our defence was desperately missing dods but since those first few games I don't think he has shown much.

[Yngwie]

Brew got him in on loan on summer deadline day then signed permanently in January IIRC.

[WYNESS101]

I thought he would be playing apart this season to get us right back up in the SPL

All the best

[Renegade]

I'm well pleased. He's one of the most talentless centre-backs I've seen in a long time.

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

Mihadjuks coming back?

[Renegade]

Sadly I doubt it.
