Also had a quick browse of the Chesterfield forum, only a couple of comments about this lad's attitude. They're very excited because they are signing a player called Sparkes, and it has really opened up a whole world of puns for them. It was like being on the Gasroom
Do we need to sell to get these new players registered into our league squad? I know McCarthy has freed up a space but with 3 new players signed and 2 being close, there must be players looking elsewhere?
I think it's more likely to spell the end for the likes of Wheeler and / or Hanlan, rather than necessarily meaning that Sadlier isn't back anytime soon.
I've assumed Taff will be leaving for some time. Vokes is an interesting one - I think he'd back himself to still be able to score goals in the EFL so would be surprised to see him retire already.
He's what I'd call an "old" 35 though, whereas Wheeler to me feels like a "young" 34.
I'm not sure Vokesy can start that many games any more, so why he could be a good cameo option for us late on in games, will another team sign him as a starter?
Wheeler surely has a lot more to offer still, assuming of course he wants to play on. McCarthy just shocked us all by seemingly being happy to retire before 30!
Just as an aside, but I heard a rumour on Saturday that MBs relationship with some of the players may not have been quite up to GA's for example.
Nothing to quantify that and it is impossible to argue that he hadn't got them playing excellently as a team, but as an alternative to 'the club won't let them' best wishes gaffer type social media posts there could be a 'they don't care that much' narrative.
Although personally I doubt that as the two times I met MD he just seemed like a thoroughly decent man.
Sounds like there has been at least a couple of setbacks. Despite being Sadlier's unpaid PR guy I am fine with us getting another left-sided option, or - and this may seem radical - putting Fred on the left!
Aging players surplus to requirements or wanting game time I can see moving to the Shrews to reunite with GA and Dobbo.
I cannot see Kone or Low going to Luton to fight relegation when they could stay here and win promotion and increase interest in them. Surely Humphries is one for the future for Ipswich so doubt they would move him this season.
Is Grimmer the only one who thanked Blooms, or have there been more since? Grimmer being the only one would seem odd, especially when you think of how someone like Kone has had his career trajectory changed under Bloomfield.

Also maybe an indication of Sadliers fitness
Confirmed by Pete O'Rourke too. Busy week!
On the Chesterfield forum they don't seem upset he's going as he has an attitude problem.
Ah not another one, after Rangers fans saying similar with their fella!
Are we signing temperamental yoofs now? A new era!
Hopefully Chesterfield fans just annoyed a player too good for their level thinks he's a good player and wants to move on!
Does this all suggest Sadlier is out for ages longer though? Didn't he only have a hernia? Seems to be one heck of a lay off.
If so, we need a special head coach to sort them out. Gareth!
He's a fantastic player by all accounts, loves scoring bangers

Could Vokes step back into a coaching role or maybe the end for Taff at the club?

Well he's stepped up and has been "coaching" the team while the search for a new manager is on-going

Sadlier might struggle to get a game when he is fit with our array of options.
Trying to remember how long he's been out now, probably 4-5months?

Last played in the 1-0 home win over Crawley on 5th October
Well the Brighton manager is only 31!
MD - Matt Doomfield?
I remember that game fondly. It was the last time I was at AP when I wasn’t freezing my nuts off!!
Did wonder if he was suddenly chatting about the MD of the business, i.e. Rice, a typo on MB, or something else!
Not as long as I'd thought, but still 3 1/2 months! Heck of a lay off.
When he does come back, it will be like a new signing.

'the club won't let them,' was certainly one of the wildest things we were asked to believe last week.
Aging players surplus to requirements or wanting game time I can see moving to the Shrews to reunite with GA and Dobbo.
I cannot see Kone or Low going to Luton to fight relegation when they could stay here and win promotion and increase interest in them. Surely Humphries is one for the future for Ipswich so doubt they would move him this season.
Depends on the numbers I suppose.
That and the media team being sacked because nothing had been posted.
Is Grimmer the only one who thanked Blooms, or have there been more since? Grimmer being the only one would seem odd, especially when you think of how someone like Kone has had his career trajectory changed under Bloomfield.
And that the team that did then post something, would then be sacked for posting a video.
