Decision made a few weeks ago, no contact from JT.
But JT said last week a decision would be made with all 3 this week (meaning last week)
Decision made a few weeks ago, no contact from JT.
Surman is just a top top bloke. Deserved better, a real gent.Not really good enough. Surman was even making excuses for why Tindall hasn’t had the time to speak to him.
Even though he’s had two weeks to find a couple of minutes for him.
You would hope, since it appears that this was not JT's decision, that he will get in touch with Surman asap once the dust of the current squad returning has settled. Obviously JT has had a LOT to deal with in the last week or so, so maybe getting in touch with previously released players was not top of his list of priorities.The manager not fronting up and speaking to Surman in person is not acceptable. Total lack of class. Whether it was his decision or not he should still deal with him and recognise the contribution he made. Very disappointing.
Surman suggesting he found out 2 weeks ago. Why has it taken until now to release the news? If it happened 2 weeks ago, was it even Tindalls decision? And more importantly how has Tindall not found 2 minutes to speak to him?
What a sorry state of affairs.
If JT has not spoken to Surman after all the service and dedication he has given to AFCB then it’s an embarrassment. I’m not sure I like the road we appear to be heading down, something seems very rotten in our great club right now
I think surman was under rated. So often took possession in tight situations to help distribution of cook and elphick, recycling the balk to keep possession. People moaned he played the ball square a lot but he was able to spot movement off the ball to get the ball up quickly. Often it was lack of movement that meant sideways was the best outlet.
The only thing I can think of is that in our traditionally tinpot way we have been overrun by the events of relegation, Ed leaving and JT taking over all happening in such a short space of time.From the circumstances around Eddie leaving with the players finding out via the media, then this, something clearly isn't quite right and it worries me.
