Also we're very quick to sign players in that way ourselves. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's the impression I get. | |

not really, he's had the chance to move but turned it down. | | | |

The fact that he has turned down a move does not change the fact that he will not sign a new contract and hence is forcing a move away from the club. He is just waiting for the move that suites him which again is his right | | | |

I don't think this is about blaming BOS or the club.
We're offering deals they don't want, it's not working for either party, end of.
These contract shenanigans are a byproduct our new policy. As I mentioned before, we got lucky with Eze... | | | |

I dont particularly want him in the Under 23's. dont really want a player who doesnt want to be with us taking a place in the squad and potentially holding up the progress of a youngster coming through.
Admomah got more good crosses in within the first 15 minutes tonight than BOS has all season, although he has pace he often slows our play down by holding onto the ball too long, taking too many touches etc. I had high hopes for hime having seen him play a few times for Blackpool before he came to us but apart from half of last season he has not torn up any trees
I dont particularly blame BOS for this situation as I dont have any real understanding of the situation but now this has happened the club has to act in a way that best protects the players that do want to be here and develop | | | |

"Would it be reasonable to ban him from the club?"
Whether "reasonable" (understandable?) or not, it would surely amount to "constructive dismissal", or "tearing up his contract", if you like.
Which would mean he could walk out and sign for a new club tomorrow as a free agent.
In fact, I seem to recall a player challenging a club which consigned him to "rot in the reserves" for the rest of his contract, if he didn't sign a new one to the club's satisfaction.
Turns out that so long as he turned up on time and trained as required etc, they had to at least consider him for the job he was originally signed to do. Which is not to say he should be guaranteed a starting place etc; rather that he should be given a reasonable chance to prove himself (as opposed to a clear and permanent demotion).
I'm pretty sure the club caved in. Which is why in the majority of cases, these things are settled quietly behind closed doors, with some sort of compromise agreement.
Also why, if the player's happy to put up with it, the club cannot do much more - see eg Mesut Ozil at The Arse, or Gareth Bale at Real Madrid. | | | |

The club could "ban him" if they want by putting him on gardening leave, provided they kept paying him his salary.
However he could possibly look at some form of legal action regarding treatment, possibly mental health and other parts of emplyment law.
I doubt we'd do this though and it wouldn't be a good look.
You wonder though if previous treatment of others is starting to permeat???... | | | |

Admomah and BOS have very different playing style.
I've really enjoyed watching his game develop and liked his contrasting style of play to Eze. As brief as it was, it was great to see the two of them play together. It's safe to say the two of them have probably been the only real post play off highlight we've had. | | | |

Can’t see why you wouldn’t play him I’ve seen loads of players over the years playing regularly in their final year after turning down a new contract.Nearer to home Barbet for example turned down a contract and still played up till the end of the season.Warburton himself still managed Brentford after saying he wouldn’t be staying at the end of the season.BOS is a good player and not playing him seems like cutting your nose off....Can’t disagree that he was a good manager for us but glad he moved so we could. | | | |

should be pointed out that Bright, much like Manning, hasn't refused to play for us so not sure what the anger is all about. Warburton has dropped him because Bright won't commit to the 2021/22 season which I do get but I think it might be worth worrying about the current season as well so throwing two of your best players under the bus doesn't seem productive.
By taking this moral stance we have severely weakened our own team and lost one of our best players for pittance. QPR are not the winners here [Post edited 29 Oct 2020 8:12]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Brentford come in for him in January. | | | |

Surely if a player is on a contract Forest 3 years then if he stays after that it’s a bonus, both sides could say no going forward, so surely you play them for the whole of the contract and only drop them if their performances drop. | |

Really haven't been able to decide on this one, Dave, but I broadly agree with your point. With one caveat:
With Manning it seemed clear (imo, of course) that he wasn't trying his hardest on the pitch so we had to get rid straight away.
With BOS he's certainly trying his hardest again on the pitch (after his few no-shows during the lockdown) and if he's also trying his hardest in training and being respectful then I think he should be played. If he's slacking in training and acting in any way too big for this club and it is affecting the other players then the club is 100% right not to play him.
We'll know more in time. | |

I think that's a bit harsh on Manning. I always felt he gave it 100%. | | | |

Just curious Brian, at what point do you think Manning stopped trying his hardest? You watch a lot more games than I do. We talked before about his lack of inclination to track back and you felt it was laziness, whereas I thought it was more to do with lack of awareness. But even if you are right and it was a lazy aspect of his game, surely that wasn't a new thing? He was guilty of that even when winning wave reviews last season, so curious how you consider his lack of trying was linked to him not signing a new contract? He scored in his last three games for us, now I know scoring -even for a striker - is not an indication of commitment, but his last goal was in the opening minutes from a cross (corner?), surely if he had stopped trying, he wouldn't have been in the box at that point in the first place? He always struck me as a good pro and not the type to not give his best, regardless of the circumstances. | | | |

Going forward, absolutely.
Tracking back and marking his man, no I don't think so. He could clearly be seen on quite a few occasions trotting back casually and looking at unmarked players but not speeding up to get there. | |

I' not sure it was linked to a new contract, as it was happening all last year at least. I just think that when you add his laziness (in defending) to his not wanting to re-sign then he had to go.
And I really don't think it was a lack of awareness, or at least not always. There's no excise for trotting back when you can clearly see danger developing in front of your eyes. None. That's not a lack of awareness. Nobody is *that* unaware. | |

Agree and I can see arguments on both sides. But if BOS said he would sign a new contract after the transfer window closed and has now reneged on that it is difficult to see how the Club can say fair enough you can continue in the team. I know all this is conjecture but the noises coming out of the club seemed to be that if he was not transferred in the window he would sign a new contract. | | | |

Very fair point, E1. | |

Hmm, so maybe the refusal to sign a new contract was linked to not wanting to play LB as some have speculated. Which makes his decision to play LB for Swansea (he replaced Bidwell on Tuesday night) even more curious. Mind you he has joined a well organised club who are 2nd as opposed to our disarrayed what? 19th now is it? So maybe it was simply that. Guess we won't know the full story until he writes his autobiography (1st instalment) in 20 years time. | | | |

PLus can probably buy much bigger house in Swansea area...  | | | |
