Pacco turned over there whole list after a "FULL REVIEW OF PLAYER PAYMENTS"
What a crock! It is fact 20 odd players WALKED OUT of that club because of the way the club was being run and how the players there who had been there for years were being pushed aside by the new recruits who were coming in and out of that revolving door. then refused to pay the players after the last game of 2013 after crying poor. That is fact. Only 2 players from the premiership team in 2011 left at that club.
They didn't walk out as the player list was reviewed. Some players chose to leave for reasons I won't mention, as it's fair and private. All clubs need to recruit players every year and good players don't get pushed out the door, they should stay and take on the challenge to make the team/club stronger. If your attitude is we don't want competion for our spots then show them the door..
This is what makes strong clubs so you either move with the program or bend over and take it and be a mediocre team and let them under preform and still pay them top dollar..
I'm not sure of the suggestion to play the last game of 2013 for no payments but it's been done at a few clubs for the reason of seeing who is playing for the jumper or just money.. Pls don't question payments as Pacco have always paid players and uphold contracts. "That's fact"
Yes only a few players remain from the 2011 side but let's be real, it was B grade and some players have retired or moved on to other B grade sides or different leagues. Can you name any of the players that left and currently playing for an A grade club in any league. I haven't researched but probably none..
In closing its a fair reply from you, and I have given you a fair honest response.. I suppose we all move on, as have Pacco who have created a club on the rise and going places, but agree it's been tough and some unpopular decisions have been made to put Pacco in a strong position going forward.
Ok I'm leaving the div1 thread and probably won't be back as can't see Pacco being in div1 anytime soon. All the best to you all.
