DiOn4pM 0 Posted February 2, 2010 ....To Simon Whaley, dont really think he got much of a chance. Yes he was bad at the start of the season, but who wasn''t?. Then when Lambert came in i dont remember him playing other than Sunderland? I think the main reason he left was due to a bust up with Lambert at a reserve game, i think...? I still think he could have done a job as cover for the 1st team as Mcnamee is doing now, would have saved a lot of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted February 2, 2010 My guess is Mr Lambert, who saw him in training every day, and received reports of how he was doing on loan deemed him surplus to requirements. If the main reason he left was a bust up then you can cite his temperament as well as his crapness as reasons.[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clean Shirt 0 Posted February 2, 2010 I think its more the fact that he really didn''t wanna be here the clubs that he was loaned to where northern and im pretty sure that you will find the next club he signs for will be northern. He may be a good player for someone else but that someone else will be from more northerly latitudes than ours. A big question over he mentality which is why he could not play for us.

Henry 0 Posted February 2, 2010 He was rubbish.Was part of the opening day debacle and he was equally if not more cupable than Ostsemobor on the right hand side. His other appearance that i witnessed in the JPT against Brentford did nothing to change my mind. He tracked back only when he felt like it and rarely made himself available for the ball.

Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted February 2, 2010 No League 2 side was ever going to be able to afford to pay a fee for him on top of his wages, hence the termination of his contract through mutual consent. We got him off of the wage bill and he now stands a better chance of finding a club who can sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich or die tryin! 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Wow, Lambert clearly just cant win with some people can he? Lambert comes in, drops/offloads some players, makes some excellent new signings and the team surges to the top of the league and you want to moan that Simon Whaley was treated unfairly? Honestly if you are bothered about this then count yourself lucky that you''ve got nothing serious or worthwhile to be worried about. The clubs doing so well but some people feel the need to allways moan about some tosh. Oh and lets face it, Whaley is utter sh#t anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sing Up The South Stand 0 Posted February 2, 2010 I think it is just that he struggled to settle, being so far from where he is from as people have mentioned. And, he wasn''t very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 68 Posted February 2, 2010 Fantastic decision by Lambert. Sends out a message to the players that it''s all about working hard and playing your part in a team. If you do anything to upset the balance, morale, work ethic, out you go...... complete waste of money by Gunn who should have listened to what the previous PNE manager thought of Whaley!Was never going to get in the team and did nothing to fight for his place.
