Looks like he's loving life out there. He'd still walk into our side
Yep, just as easily as he was allowed to walk out.Looks like he's loving life out there. He'd still walk into our side
He wouldn't have wanted to walk had MT played him. He should have had the team built around him but, despite being the best midfielder in L2, he was on the bench every week. Weird eh?Yep, just as easily as he was allowed to walk out.
It's not how I read the situation, but I might be wrong.He wouldn't have wanted to walk had MT played him. He should have had the team built around him but, despite being the best midfielder in L2, he was on the bench every week. Weird eh?
I thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime for him and his family. Too good to turn down thats why he was released half way through the season at a pivotal time. Also he was well into his thirties and probably his best years were behind him, so obviously he would have hardly featured and his influence would become less and less. Have we missed him?! Does a bear poo in the woods……..the way I read the Nicky Law situation was that he turning 33, unable for injury/fitness reasons to play every game and on an expensive contract. And had lost his place in the starting eleven to MJ, with that seeming to be an either MJ or Law in the manager's mind. MT showed with Page what he thought about the size of contract for players who wouldn't be available for every game. The best solution with Law would have been to find a way of playing both him and MJ .
So I think Nicky Law probably saved ECFC from the difficult decision of not renewing his contract on similar terms (or at all?) when it expired. To echo Max, that is just my reading and none of it may be the real truth.
And we still haven’t replaced him…hence all the talk about a need for a player like him!Honestly why does it matter? He's been gone a long while now.
Not true. Nicky Law was great for us, but the reason he was allowed to leave was because in MJ we had a very adequate replacement.And we still haven’t replaced him…hence all the talk about a need for a player like him!
Precisely. When Law was here last season he hardly started anyway.Not true. Nicky Law was great for us, but the reason he was allowed to leave was because in MJ we had a very adequate replacement.
