RE: Menayese, I would think that a loan agreement is for a certain time period. End of. If a player gets injured, the course of action taken is down to the parent club overall, but the wages (or agreed percentage of) are paid by the loaning club until the end of the loan period.
If both clubs agree to end the loan early, that would be different.
At least they are a proper old club with proper fans, unlike the Salford’s, Crawley’s and FGR’s that have got in the way of real clubs like Chesterfield, Notts County & York City etc. coming back to the fold.
Saw him do a night at Bar Sports in Cannock in 2007. He was telling the tale of how he had a huge bet on us to win at Slough so got the team going gung ho trying to win the game. Joker.
He told that tonight. Also told how the majority of the team at the time put large bets on due to the odds given, and he 2-2-6 for the last 18 minutes to try and win the game. He did say that is one of his biggest regrets, being Walsall manager, as he was ravaged with addiction at the time.
Just goes to show what a difficult profession football is. Both him and Bates in recent times were lauded as being genuine prospects and yet both seem to be drifting into non league oblivion. Plenty of others as well.
I do wonder if Maher will be another?
