How long should we hang on to a player who has been at the club for years and still hadn’t impressed enough to break into the 1st team picture ?

If we do, what do you say to the players coming behind him who are then denied a chance by a player 3 years older who’s not in the 1st team picture.

How much do you offer him , as he won’t be YTS any more.

No, for me, and it may be harsh, it’s probably better all round for him to have a crack elsewhere.

The only other option is to keep him and loan him straight out, but for that you’d need a club at a decent level who want to take him and pay his wages.
If the club can’t find that then he’s wasted another few months.

It’s a tough situation and harsh that players get so little chance to impress, but then we’ve got fans booing a manager today who’s lost 3 in 17 ��
As I said, I don't want to make this just about Cameron Coxe. We've got one of the oldest squads in the league and I thought they turned in a performance today that was, in some ways, disgraceful for seasoned professionals - there's that cliche about how teams perform on a wet, windy Tuesday in Stoke, well today we didn't fancy it on a wet, windy Saturday in Stoke and for a team set up to play like we've been doing since Neil Warnock arrived that's just not on, yet I bet that for most, if not all, of those experienced pros, football won't be any where near as brutal for them when it comes to selection for Tuesday night.
