Richard de la Riviere Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Elliott responded with "news to me" and Phil Veivers replied to Mark's tweet with "really" Strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Possibly a wind up?? Or have they tried to force his hand and it's back fired?? Either way top player will be gutted if he's left even more so if he's signed for the jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Later on ell also says the club have made his mind up for him. It's either a massive wind up or our chairman has made a massive c*** up, firstly putting something like that on Twitter before anything has been officially decided, and secondly forcing one of our best players hands on making a decision. I'm confused. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockerlad Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Chris cowards words to Miller basically say town will regret their decision what ever that meant and it looks like Elliot has been forced to move on "looks like the club have made my mind up for me" are his comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You've got to think it's all true as the players taking the mick is one thing, surely the chairman should be far more proffesional than that? the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETEMONSIDE Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Didn't similar happen last year when he was waiting on a new deal ? He may have been holding out for a better deal and Town have giving him a deadline on which to respond by.(I heard the deadline was yesterday). If this is true then a deadline is a deadline. Sad to see Elliot go after supporting him through a full year of recovery but if he wishes to go to the inferior team down the road then so be it. How long has Elliot been at Town? Always have been always will be the pride of West Cumbria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has Elliot been at Town? maybe there was a deadline, but announcing that he's left the club via Twitter without obviously talking to the player or your coach 1st is totally crazy. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Deadline was given wasn't it ? Maybe wrong but didn't he go past the deadline last year and they accommodated him ? Perhaps they've been strict this year , but with someone like him I'd give him all the time he wants . Confused . I don't understand why the chairman would say anything in that social forum before anything is announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say he's going to play full back , or that it's a clincher sounds ridiculous . So he tells a club and coach where he demands to play ? And they what , confirm that in writing ? Haven fans can comfort themselves with that thought , but let's be honest , if he goes it's the age old thing ... Money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith T Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I can't understand why it takes forever and a day for some players to make their minds up. Elliott missed a deadline set last year and came up with a weak excuse of forgetting the deadline date or something as weird. Here we are again with the same player apparently missing a deadline and in today's League Weekly PV is stated as saying he needs to know what the players intend by the deadline set so that he can sort things out with new recruits we might want to be signing. If we missed out on a decent player because we waited for one or two to make their minds up I'm sure fans wouldn't take kindly to that. I remember when ............................."It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.
