norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted July 7, 2013 IF this was the case on Friday - From McNally on twitter on Friday explaining why he hadn''t tweeted for a few hours: "Right,busy this pm & so I haven''t responded to tweets. Can confirm though that I haven''t been in talks with clubs about any one leaving." How are we at fee agreed etc with Wigan for Holt? That sounds like it''s at quite an advanced stage if true.

Might have sorted it out Friday morning and spent the afternoon hearing about the time Dave Whelan broke his leg at Wembley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crabbycanary 2 Posted July 7, 2013 Has anyone considered that Holty may have had a big influence in all this transfer?As in, he may have found out that other forwards are on their way in, and CH may have said to him, that Grant would be 3rd choice, not guaranteed a starting place? Holt may have thought , that after signing a nice juicy contract only 12 months ago, that life was just as he had hoped. Not now, so once a Club (Wigan) tried their hand a bit, that Holt went to the Board/Manager and said, he was happy to go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbncfc1 0 Posted July 7, 2013 the difference a year makes when holty handed in his transfer request last year It was un thinkable will let him go and would have probably seen us go down however just 12 months on the majority would be happy for him to leave us with the likes of rvw coming in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 131 Posted July 7, 2013 I understand the reasoning behind it, he wanted to return north again and we can better cash in on him if the price is right. Sad to see Holt go, but I think it could be a great bit of bussiness by McNally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketts Rebel 0 Posted July 7, 2013 Feel gutted the big man may go. He was a major part of one of the best periods in our clubs history. I know there is no official news yet, but I have never seen such widespread reports, without it being true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted July 7, 2013 It''s an odd one, I was devastated when he handed in the request last summer, but he hasn''t quite clicked with the system this season and at times he hasn''t seemed the same holt. We know he probably could cut it again, but we can''t risk another average season as we look to kick on and take the next step.So hard to call, he has been such a huge figure for the club and a true legend, if he goes he goes with my blessing and trust that we have someone lined up.
