This forum makes me laugh, quitting what FFS? Quitting quilting to take up croquet perhaps... |

Isn’t that likely to be a manager’s decision not the owner’s? And if it is MT’s, more a reflection on what he thinks he can get player-wise with the budget available. UTG! edit: sorry Gassy you beat me to it. Think back to MTs comment about him picking his strongest team and some of the very strange team starting line ups that were being made before - Surely MT knows his players so was someone else telling him who to put in the team so they can provide input for end of season discussions - Genuine question i don't know the answer. It looks like MT was playing them to see if they were good enough to retain for next season, apart from Sinclair, possibly Hoole, I'm not sure many did themselves any favours apart from Rossiter in recent games. MT only suggested last week they'll be working on G Ward's fitness over the summer to try and build him up to last a season, I doubt they'll be doing that if he isn't staying. Although offering GW a new contract really contradicts everything the new co-owner just said in HaG about the recruitment team looking at signing players who'll be here for the next 3 to 5 years! |

He didn’t quit. His contract is expiring in June and wasn’t extended for whatever reasons. |

I think it was also said that they would recruit some experience for the now. I imagine they’ll spend on younger players for the long term and pick up some experience on free transfers. |

My apology for the confusion, the headline should have read Finley is quitting Rovers, by not accepting a new contract, in my eyes is quitting Rovers . Or should have said that he is walking away from Rovers ?

If he wasn't offered one, does that make him sacked? |

The fact that Sam knows well before the end of the season that he will not be here next year suggests that conversations have taken place and there is more to it than just- not being offered a new contract |

The board have set a budget, Taylor has decided what to do with it (at least in terms of retaining players who are out of contract). Might mean we can get signings done early for a change and start the season better than we normally do.... |

That's one helluva leap of assumption. Why can it not be a simple case of "Sorry Sam but you are just not up to League one standard anymore"? |

Thats a conversation - not just Sam finding out on the day that his contract has is not being renewed as some players have experienced in the past. |

The fact that Sam knows well before the end of the season that he will not be here next year suggests that conversations have taken place and there is more to it than just- not being offered a new contract It seems likely the new co-owners decided they wanted a clear out of the Scouse Mafia once they appointed MT given that AM & co also followed JB/EJ out of the club, As Finley seems to be the leader of the gang, players wise, he was always likely to follow. It'll be interesting to see who he joins and how he performs next season, as on his day he's a decent L1 CM, unfortunately he didn't have many of those days this season. I've no idea who presently plays in midfield for Stockport but you can see him being an ideal signing for them. |

He’s a really good player, obviously confident he can get an equal or better deal elsewhere
