Updated: Joe Ralls - Signs for Plymouth

[Kerkyra Blue]

Just checked and it looks like he still has not found a club which I find strange . Surely he could do a good job for a L1 or L 2 team ? He is only 32 .

Re: Joe Ralls

I'd agree but he seems busy enough with his academy project in Aldershot. https://joerallsfootballacademy.co.uk/

Re: Joe Ralls

He's finished, His legs have gone and he's had some really bad injuries. Remember, Ralls was on the scene at 17-18 playing in a demanding position, so in years he's had a full career. If he's recognised the problems with his body in a professional capacity, and he's come to the decision that being injured, not being able to play at full capacity is not something he wants to go through anymore, then good on him. So many players go on (Ramsey) when they have no place professionally on a football pitch.

Re: Joe Ralls

Maybe he just doesn’t fancy it. He spent 14 years here, the prospect of bouncing around between clubs for a couple years to end his career might not be appealing after so long in one place.

He probably got paid close to 10 mil for his time here so he doesn’t need the money and it sounds like he’s got his own personal projects to work on.

I would’ve liked him to stay with us.

Re: Joe Ralls

Thanks for the replies . I guess he has taken the decision himself to retire from playing and decided to concentrate on his coaching .
Fair play to him . He was a great loyal servant to us .

Re: Joe Ralls

I'm doubtful he'd get one, but he's fully deserving of a testimonial to recognise his time here.

My grandson was at his Academy last week.
I believe he is training regularly and hoping for a return to playing.

Mad to think a City player could earn £10million. He has obviously spent money over the years and there is the 50% tax but I bet he is still comfortably off

Re: Updated: Joe Ralls - Signs for Plymouth

Pleased for Joe, Plymouth's much anticipated improvement still refuses to begin and so I can see him getting sdme game time for the first team there - think a club like Plymouth is about as good as could be expected for him now.
