  • All this talk is a bit bizarre at this point, Alfie wanted to go and he has got his wish. He is being paid a packet and a half, will win something which his career to date deserves and probably spend a season or two in the championship good on him. The lad got what he wanted and has been proven right by his decision to leave.

    Equally Jones, who clearly wasnt the biggest fan of May, has also been proven right by the fact we are a better team this season than we were last season and its completely quantifiable also unarguable. Jones believed we would be a better team without Alfie and we are.

    Everybody wins.
  • Don't all shout at once, but please can someone summarise why Alfie May left?
    How could he not be in Jones' plans after all the goals he scored last season?
    Well May made a video talking about why he was leaving and listing all his reasons why he wanted to leave. So id go with that.

    Unless you one of the flat earthers who clearly believe Alfie was being threatened with a gun off camera and made to read a script.

    Footballers will say anything on video in order to further their career interests as they see fit. And why not? But as with politicians, it's wise to view them all with a sceptical eye.

    There are too many Lifers, some of whom I know personally with a different version of events. 

    We are  a better team than the one Alfie May played in. It does not follow that it is better because  he is not in it. Indeed, it remains an open question whether we would not be even better (certainly in current league standing) if we had kept him and insisted that Jones shows some more flexible people-management skills. You know, like not bawling out tall-poppy 20 year old kids at the end of a game in full view of team-mates and fans, for making one mistake in a grand total of 90 seconds on the pitch.

    Given his age and the fact he seems to be deemed as a squad player, I expect them to offload him in the summer. They bought him simply to help them jump straight back up, but then had the opportunity to bring in Stansfield and things shifted for him. He may well play in the championship, but I don't think it'll be with Brum.

    There are people here who have first hand knowledge of the situation who completely agree with what i have written above, me for one.

    Yes a lot here who have also provided ZERO evidence. even when the contrary evidence supports the arguments Alfie put out there.

    This side is better than last year because the team is better and Alfie isnt in the team. Yes hypothetically one could argue that If may was here we could be better we could also be a lot worse (again hypothetically). Perhaps under Jones Stockley would be a POTY contender, who knows. What is unarguable is Jones wasnt massively keen on Alfie and thought we could be a better team without him, May has left and we are a better team.

    He's played every league game for them this season.
