Jobs for Ross and Kingsley

Scouting seems a good one to me. Anyone with some experience of the game can be watching our next opponents, or going to local games to search for future signings. Better than nothing.

It reads to me like the managers are giving them a public extra nudge to try and find themselves clubs. Until now the players have been holding firm, which is entirely their prerogative given that we gave them such ridiculous deals in the first place, but it's going to be difficult for them to integrate with a part time team and I can see fans getting on their backs when part time players inevitably perform better than them. It's really in their best interests to either re-negotiate contracts with the club or perhaps lower their demands to interest other clubs.

We might get that Subway built at long last - steak and cheese for me please :-)

Have a gut feeling Hannah may reduce his terms it's Kingsley who will be the problem his attitude last season stank and won't forgive him for laughing at us when Kiddy beat us in the cup

Not sure why people feel so bitter towards Hannah in particular, he single handedly kept us up in 2016 and was a great servant to the club. He accepted a deal last season that was carelessly offered to him by Maguire and McCarthy he struggled with injury in a dire team and still came out as the top scorer, he went out on loan to Southport when the money issues became apparent, his only remaining crime is he hasn't found another club and is unwilling to voluntarily terminate an employment contract for the sake of his young family.

Making jokes about him doing office work or painting the walls is embarrassing.

It's in everybody's best interests for them to move on.. Maybe the club can give them a little sweetener and they can find clubs closer to home which will save them on travel costs. It's not going to be in their best interests to train with the scholars and football is a short career and they both need to be playing. Hannah did have a few good games last season but overall he was dissapointing. God only knows what happened to Kingsley.

I thought he was played out of position.

Won the game at Aldershot for Macca.

The clubs website needs updating, they can do that.

Bang on. I hope Hannah stays scores 30 goals and rams these patronising comments down all his critic’s throats. He’s a decent lad and doesn’t deserve this muck thrown at him.

At the end of the day the club don't have a leg to stand on here. If these lads just want to do the bear minimum in training and just show up for matchday to sit in the stands then that's what they will do.

Images of bern and jonno dragging them out of bed to weed the carpark or paint the bogs are far fetched in the extreme!

Ha, if I'd performed as badly at work last year I'd be glad of a bit of painting work 😂😂

At least the message is loud and clear that their dog shit performances will not be tolerated.

Thank you. That's why I started the thread. We don't need to be precious on their behalf and having sat through several tribunals, evidence from a fans forum would be laughed out of the room, so we don't need to worry about Unfair Dismissals!


I was a big fan of both players first time round, although James' performances after Christmas that season were only a shadow of what went before and agree he got worse and worse played out of position week after week last season. Ross Hannah is more of a worry because he had so many "injuries". I know one or two people who spoke to him off the pitch and weren't conviced he wanted to play. Only opinions mind. Can't blame him, I didn't want to watch either.

But if they are here next season they will have a contractual commitment to full-time hours and the club will have to find them something to do.

And why is painting such an insult to their talents BTW?!

Ross Hannah lives off the back of his performances two years ago and his 'I love the club' comments. He performed well once last year in a Chester shirt and went to Southport and was equally appalling there. He might have a contract and as a club we need to fulfil it, but his performances and attitude deserve everything they got last year. You expect a lot more from a player who's raiding our coffers for the sum he is and all this 'poor Ross' talk is embarrassing. He either comes back and performs like the player he was two years ago or he buggers off/sits in the stands. There's no place for his and Kingsley's attitude and I'm really pleased to hear it being called out.
