murphs obituary hasn't been written yet, wait for something to happen first.
I'm not a lover of his, but he's has given great service to the club, never be in doubt. But there are lines. He was quite loud on the boat when asked 'how's the going?' unlike the others who kept the heads low.

Apparently jim hanley talked to him and matthews yesterday and asked them to rethink everything,so nothings official yet

**Bosco** · 01/08/2005, 5:30 PM

Heard today he's officially gone

**Xlex** · 02/08/2005, 9:33 AM

well, he didn't get a deadline move so where could he have gone? Is he out of football altogether until close season?

I have heard (rumour) that the club told him they will not pay his wages anymore that once he got his transfer he was gone and yes is out of football because he missed the deadline.
TBH i think he will regret his decision in a week or two

illegal and I couldn't believe Jim Hanley would allow this to happen no matter where the difference of opinion may lie.

In all fairness, and it's not that I'm standing up for Matthews, but we all know how disruptive McGovern, Lavine and Avery were... don't use those three wasters to beat Matthews with.

If he was released from his contract and is a free agent then he can sign for anyone even though the window is closed ?

obviously but can you see a player and a club mutually terminating a contract which means a)player loses out on cash, fitness sharpness etc. or b) a club pays settlement?

Sounds like the player we would sign

**town73** · 04/08/2005, 4:08 PM

Whats the 'official' line on this ??

Released at his own request: official site

I believe he can sign for any other club. He was released inside the transfer window, AFAIK.
