For those who are sorry, do you really see him starting many games? He was slow at the best of times and it’s definitely the right decision in the long term. No one can knock his commitment and that’s why everyone will wish him the best.Quote:

Joe is worthy of ever accolade that comes his way. He has been a great servant to CCFC and even last season put in some very good performances but his ability, not helped by injury, to add many more is doubtful. The time is right for his exit.
We have to make changes to add stimulus as well as application.
if the new manager wants to bring in his own targets then we probably need some room to manoeuvre in the budget
All the best Joe. Great servant for the club. End of an era.
Sounds like BBM making his mark with him and Rino gone.
Joe is a fine servant of our club, who through the years always gave his best.
Thank you Joe, and I wish you all the best for the future.
Best of luck Joe.
Think you can still hack it in the Championship.
Yup, to give Ralls a two year deal would be crazy.Quote:

Shame about the injuries that hampered recent years - but best wishes for the rest of your career wherever that is.
Always a Bluebird! :ayatollah:
A real shame, I know football clubs cant have sentiment with Players, but Rallsy can play a number of positions and will give 110% all the time
I thought he might have had 1 more year the moved to the academy ( where he has also been know to show interest )
All the best
dissapointing... id have thought the new contract talks which would have way lower wages for L1 may have been the breaking point, he can more than likely get more money elsewhere
shame though, would have liked to have seen him giving his all to get us back up
Well said.Quote:

As I am sure they will confirm, Rallsy was also a brilliant Ambassador for our Disabled Supporters Association (DSA_ Always volunteered to help willingly and genuinely took an interest in fan issuesQuote:

Feels like he could do a job in league one, and his experience and leadership is so valuable. But wish him luck, wonder where he’ll go..
Will he get a testimonial ? He certainly deserves it.
Very good point. Hope he gets a testimonial.Quote:
