Carlisle1921 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I was told by a haven fan today at work that howarth had went back on his word to sign for town and was being announced by haven on friday. I assumed it was the usual whitehaven bull but this adds a lot of substance to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonch Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 To be fair we may have released him to free up cash for someone else "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

Town Army Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I might have missed this but, was he even a Town player? Did he sign a 2yr deal or an extension?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1921 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I believe he was one of the first to re-sign but was never announced until it was known how long his rehabilitation was going to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks stu. Was good in patches last season. Didn' quite lead the team around how I expected but done well all the same. Can remember him having a belter of a debut at haven. All the best in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town4me Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I dont think LP would have come unless he was gonna get certain personnel in for key positions. I dont think we have seen all of them additions yet IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct he did have a contract for how long I don't know, Sellafield jungle telegraph says that we paid compensation in order to rescind his contract £3k is being stated. Apparently the rumor is he was £12k a year contract and our coach thinks he could spend that money on signing better players, if this is true, well good on the coach I will go with that.

The Voodooguru Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thought Howarth had a bit of class about him and could lead the team around the pitch so I'm gutted he's gone, especially to the noisy neighbours. But I'm sure he will be replaced by somebody our coach wants in of at least the same standard, so keep the faith and wait for some good news. UTT. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Interesting . Says he hopes to be fit for the start of the season , so it wasn’t the injury we’ve just let him go . I agree I thought he had something about him but also that you have faith in the coach , and he obviously for whatever reason didn’t fancy him . Must be irons in the fire being worked on , but as i say if he’s gonna be fit it’s an interesting development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Got told by several Haven fans after the Wally Lewis night out they had signed Mossop, Lister and Howarth so wasn`t surprised . Leon likely doesn`t fancy Howarth and on last seasons performances i can see why .He just stands and passes , never takes the line on , and doesn`t create gaps as he passes before drawing defenders .

Carlisle1921 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Howarth must be a good player to have played at the level and for the clubs he has, he unfortunately never showed it last season though. He lacks the kicking game to play 7, the speed to play 9 and the size to play 13 so no idea where he should be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit harsh of Ivans to say he didn't create gaps he was good at exactly that, better than anybody else we had. We seem to have chucked all our eggs in one basket at the minute with Newton who a fair few of us don't rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
