Owen rejects contract offer

[saintvaliant]

Oh well, sign of the times.

 

Thanks for everything Gaz - you gave your all every time you pulled a Vale shirt on and we can't ask for anymore than that.

 

One of the few in the squad who deserved better from the leadership of the club at boardroom level.

It's us the fans who deserve better. I suppose Owen leaving will make my non attendance if Vile2001 are still in situ next season that much easier.:(

I agree OS, however I'd also say that I have no problem with the work rate, leadership and honesty that Gaz has shown during his time at the club.

 

The club is a worse place for his departure and we have too few pros like him in the camp.

 

Had the whole squad been in his mould, we'd have been fine, irrespective of who the manager was IMHO.

 

He deserved better from the club, no doubt. Sad that folk will simply allow the board to continue getting away with it though.

I've lost alot if respect for Gareth Owen.

 

He is looking to move for the sake of it, very limited ambition making a sideways move.

 

I do believe he thinks he's better than he is and he's very replaceable which is one good thing.[/QUOTE]

 

Any of our current squad are replaceable.

 

That last sentence is spot on! Especially under new owners. If we dont have new owners I wont be there anyway. Selfish-Yes. Not willing to be a mug anymore.

[Picto]

This is just another in the long line of kicks in the ****** for us Vale fans,and proof that while v2001 remain at the club,we are ****ed.

[Marge56]

Yep, he wouldnt say the words but kept repeating 'sooner rather than letter'

 

I can see it being as soon as tomorrow but have to wait for the official announcement

 

2/3 week is the norm !! ;););) :D

[carpetman123]

I suppose he thinks if he signs a new contract with us we will be joining Stockport in the BSP next year so thought better move now!

[WEMBLEY OF THE NORTH]

Well if you read the topic instead of the last 2 posts you would have noticed ive said i wish him well if he goes to any other club than one of our rivals.

 

You are making this up as you go along.

[WEMBLEY OF THE NORTH]

He hasn't said he's going to Crewe though has he?

 

He's come out in the press saying he's a bit worried about his new (reduced terms) contract and the current state of the club (in the ****, no manager and no ambition).

 

By coincidence Crewe are looking to patch their defence (which is currently more leaky than Vale's balance sheet) with a new CB.

 

He's been linked. Nothing more nothing less.

 

Thank heavens for that Doha, at last someone has grasped the real situation, I was beginning to despair.

[ItWasTheLightsThatDidIt]

****!!!!!! Owen has made Mcombe the defender he is. A great and sad loss.....

[Koop]

Good, experienced lower league defender the type of which are essential to make progress.

 

If Crewe can get a younger, more mobile defender alongside him who can learn from Owen then I think that will go someway to solving their defensive issues.

 

If, on top of this they could add a couple of experienced pro's and even keep Donaldson - I'd say they would have a very good chance of going up.

That's for sure players like Owen should have the team built around them but I felt he should have waited until after June 1st. If Mo comes in and he has gone it will be him regretting his actions. He said it is a weak man who changes his mind . Sorry it can be a very wise one!.

[Vinnick]

We need Owen next season.He is the only one worth finding the extra money for.

[Lady_Vale]

Had you heard him on RS tonight you'd assume it was a done deal - he'll be somewhere by the weekend.

Spot on mate. When will the people who still support this vile Board who are killing OUR club wake up? How low will you take us Bill before you say enough is enough? Administration? Do you still care at all for PVFC? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
