Lifts the lid in an interview with Wigan Today on his Wigan exit. Very interesting read and gives his version of events. Probably exactly what I expected…..club paying peanuts in wages ie the reason we have so many young cheap players. Didn’t want to leave and actually turned down better offers from Wrexham and abroad but disappointed at the heiracy’s handling of his contract negotiations. Where is our club at present.?…..empty vessel is how it feels to me.
The ultimate price that Danson will pay, is relegation and the loss of hard core supporters.
Maybe, that’s his ultimate strategy
Certainly feels that way.
I’m already resigned to giving up my longstanding season ticket; just can’t stomach the lack or pace of ambition ouzing from Danson. You don’t turn out on match days, just to take part and make up the numbers; somebody needs to wobble his head and his wallet.Good luck to Humps for tomorrow. Don’t really want to lose, but if he make’s Danson eat his words !!!
It would be interesting to know exactly the figures what he was on and what he wanted.
Let’s face it, we had alot of overpaid underperforming players that were like divers boots at the club.
Humphrys was a marmite player you either did or didn’t like him. I personally thought while he was at the club he blew hot & cold too inconsistent but when he was on it he could change a game with rocket strikes not many keepers could save.Would he get in this current side ? oh yes for sure. If I were Danson I would have paid him because as Humphrys said, he has an affiliation with the club like Macca and right now we’ve no leaders no characters.
If he was in the changing room he would be amongst the leaders nowdays jollying these young loanees up.Like I’ve said a 100 times over, we had an unsustainable wage bill that needed culling. The problem was Danson went far too far chopping and getting rid leaving the club with one of the youngest sides in the 4 leagues.
People like Humphry’s in the changing room are invaluable.
Can see his point concerning “downing tools”. I for one thought he played to a degree like his time was up but by his own admission that he is a confidence player .The non movement over his contract offer probably gave him the feeling the club didn’t want him therefore dip in confidence. Me…?….I think he was THE key attacking player ,managed and played in a role where he could show his undoubted ability there aren’t many, (if any) in this league who could keep him quiet. Massive loss when you look what we now have as attacking options…if you want to call it that. As stated it would be enlightening to know what pay/contract he was offered….IMO it would be similar to what he said ….league 2 money. The pay squeeze seems to have been introduced at a peanuts paying level..players as key as Humphreys should have been payed somewhere near their worth to the club. On the up side at least we have a league 2 pay structure now in place….because the on the pitch shite is doing everything to ensure thats where we’ll be next season……
Totally agree with all of the above, our leading scorer last season was shit on by the club, Danson, Danson Jnr and Goodburn are clueless when it come to running a football club!
Don’t worry Humps will be “all guns blazing” on Saturday to prove a point he’s got four goals in ten games and he’ll be looking to add to it, just a pity the Fun Boy Three won’t be there to see it, we are in for a drubbing at Oakwell.
Fuck the EFL
I dont necessarily think we are in for a drubbing, we seem to up our game against the better teams. As for Humps hes not told us anything that we didnt already know. He was on £7k a week and the club offered him around £4k. Thats not the club shitting on him, its the club doing exactly what they said they were gonna do and become sustainable. Would have liked Humps to have stayed, but not at the risk of causing unrest amongst the squad due to large salary differences. I was more disappointed that JJ left as he seemed to have found his form were Humps blew hot and cold. His engine is poor and so was his tracking back. I dont think he ever played 90 mins and towards the end of the season became more of an impact player similar to Callum Mac.
I wish him well apart from when he plays against us. There are better forwards knocking about, hopefully we will grab one in January, havimg made a total balls up of getting one at the start of the season. From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Fingers crossed he has a quiet one tomorrow…….similarly we’ve drawn Chesterfield in Efl trophy…..absolute shit load liable to come back and haunt us in that one….Cook,Dunkley,Naylor,Grigg,Jacobs,Colclough!!!
I heard we had 4 players that between them they were costing us not far off £200,000 a month nearly £2.5million a year in wages and bullsh*t bonuses.
I’m sorry chaps but that for a club like us is unsustainable regardless of how good they are plus they basically failed to perform.
Humphrys was too his & miss. I remember some games he was unplayable then the week after downing tools not even chasing back. If he was on £7k (I don’t know) that’s £350,000 a year unbelievable amount of money and again unsustainable.
If Barnsley are prepared to get near that then fair play to the lad but there was a few reasons he was released:-
1) too inconsistent
2) too much moneyI’m not sure what we offered him but is was clearly way off the amount he wanted so tbh we can’t blame the club for so called dumping him, he wanted more than we could afford so he moved on that’s the truth of the matter and that’s football for you.
It’s hard, very very hard, its the devil and the deep blue sea. I see both sides of the argument,
Balancing the books with huge cuttbacks players and staff.Then there’s Danson who’s culled so much were unrecognisable and the whole clubs going nowhere with a grey cloud hanging over us.
How do we solve it?, there’s only one real solution, invest in scouting and youth, bring young lads through and sell.
We need more Tickles and Hughes’s, without this we don’t create enough revenue to be self sufficient. Our owners a billionaire twice over but he’s tighter than a submarine door.
Him putting £10million in would be like me throwing £100 in. Imagine been worth £2000million? You can’t take it with you untie the purse strings and have some fun, no one’s saying go mad but back your manager and give him half a chance right now he has no chance.
