Conor Washington gone

I'm hoping this is more "player wanted terms we couldn't agree to" than "poor decision-making from the board".
If it's one of those things where a player has just happened to leave cos we didn't want to pay him too much, and he wasn't happy on the same terms, then fine. That's business and that's football.
But I'm still gutted - because we were UNQUESTIONABLY a better football team with him in it, and I don't know who we'd be able to bring in to replace him on a similar deal, analytics or no analytics, this ownership or other ownership.5 -
Stockley and Washington in the same starting league eleven - 2020/2021Games : 19Goals: 169

So it got leaked by him presumably.
This is what people are referring to and TS confirmed it happened, although I can't recall if he named CW as the player.

More I think of this more I think it's a bad move. One of our best players albeit in a mediocre squad.
Big gamble2 -

The alledged off the field issues were about him not being offered a new deal because we didnt know who the manger would be so how the hell have you put 2 and 2 together and got not only 5 but about 97?5 -
I really liked CW and enjoyed watching him as he was a constant thorn in the side of opposition defenders. But as Golfie always says you need goal scorers to get out of this league, so with a tinge of sadness I say goodbye Conor and GL. I know it's only a vague rumour but i wouldnt be surprised if Stockley left as well and again i like the bloke but i hate the way we play when he is playing plus tbh i think his link up play is poor so i wouldnt be too fussed if we took a profit on him2

Let’s see if we get them…
doesn’t sound real does it……1 -

I’m not too sad that he’s gone. He’s a good player. One of the better players last year. Would make some good runs and get into some good positions but his final pass or attempt at goal was generally piss poor. A very frustrating player, in my book.4

I haven’t trawled through this whole thread but I don’t think we should underestimate the significance of the leak allegedly from Washington about Jackson and effectively about both their futures. Understandably Jackson and subsequently Sandgaard senior were not happy. Is it possible that Sandgaard refused to sanction a new offer ?0

and ffs sign George on a more committed basis. I don’t commit to work for anyone who doesn’t show me commitment, why would we expect footballers to be any different?0 -

Unless I heard the words verbatim from Conor or his agent I can't see how they were the words used ? Or who ever the player is.
Probably only Washington or Matthews fit the profile.
So the "new manager" decided that Inniss and JFC are staying, but the "new manager" may not want Conor !
Still feel Thomas Sandgaard saw the 4 missed chances by Conor against Lincoln when he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo and he made the decision because who else did ? Steve Gallen ?
Did Martin Sandgaard feed the black box with Conor's stats, including age and money demands and the computer said NO ?

The South London Press had been told that one player due to be out-of-contract this summer claimed he was told in the past couple of weeks that his situation could not be progressed in case a new manager might not fancy him.
Sandgaard said: “I’m very well aware of that incident. We very quickly managed it.
“It was a rumour that started by that player in the dressing room and it spun out of control. It was very upsetting for Johnnie Jackson.
“It was one particular player’s interpretation of why we were holding off on maybe not immediately extending a contract.
“It was triggered by the frustration of a player, or maybe even his agent, and how the information was dealt with in terms of asking your agent to be patient because we’re still working to sort out the squad for next season.
“Within less than a day we had it under control.”

I really appreciated Connor’s wholehearted effort for the team regardless of how prolific he was. 1 in 3 inclusive of some bangers in his spell with us was not at all bad and unless we are guaranteed better I think we will really miss him. I wish him the very best…9

I expect Washington and his agent know clubs are throwing the cash around at this level now.
He's also growing quite injury prone so if we replace him with somebody decent (and not Davison) then fine by me.
We get a new penalty taker too looking at the positives.
But thanks for all your graft and craft Washy. Can definitely make a good youtube reel from it0 -
The myth making around Connor has begun it seems0

A decent L1 player, but not an exceptional one.
There are definitely better players out there at our level. Whether we'll sign them is another matter...4
