Excellent news.
-
Shame about Tomlinson. Is McDonald staying???
-
End of an era with Lawrie finally going. But it's the right time.

I would hope not. No news about McWilliams either. Dont think he was good enough and with Lewis Short and Kyle Brownhill, we have two players for one slot.

The right time was 2 years ago.

I'm still hopeful that PP will be trying for left back Andy White from Nantwich. McWilliams tried very hard but he's just not a good defensive left back unfortunately.

It seems White is their best player, I can only imagine clubs higher up the pyramid being in for him - hopefully PP is persuading him to follow him to Alty as we speak.
Him, Lynch and Harrison (as well as Hannigan if he can stay fit) on paper looks like the foundation of a solid back line.

I'm quite sad really as James attitude has alway been great, however its obvious he will never be consistent and maybe this is the right time, maybe for him as well.
I'm not celebrating this, thanks for the memories James 8)

Thank you for the memories james lawrie..a trier no lack of effort and a wonderful goal v macc to remember..
Tomlinson a solid keeper just not committed maybe.
As for the rest never darken our door again!!
-
No worries here apart from the keeper.
-
When I saw Andy Owens play having heard MD describe him like he was Karim Benzema I realised that MD was completely clueless.
-
Thanks for the memories James Lawrie and best of luck in your future career. Thanks to some of the others for giving it a go, even if they were a bit rubbish.
-
I thought Andy Owens looked an interesting prospect when he turned out for us against FCUM. Unfortunately he faded badly after that first game.
-
Thanks for some good memormemories James. Tomlinson looked ok as for the other 3 no words
-
I'm not sure I want to see Hannigan in an Alty shirt next season .. he came with a reputation and was constantly on the sick list... we don't need injury prone players . I wasn't that convinced on the few times I saw him play...

I agree about his injury record but he's still got a year to run on his contract so it might be difficult to shift him.

A Glass of Andrews Liver Salts would do the trick ;)

Lawrie will be a good player for someone else but his time at Alty is done and has been for a long time.
Doughty said Tomlinson wouldn't stay as he'd get higher offers.
The others, well....it's usually the retained list that gets greeted with a pleased response. When people are cheering the released list like I have then it really shows just what a season that was. From the little I saw of them they weren't a striker combined.

I think it was more a lack of effort rather than quality why people are not sorry to see him go
-
James Lawrie deserves a better response than he's had on here. He was decent for several seasons and should be remembered for this if nothing else

Thanks James for one of my Alty watching highights
-
I don't know how many games you go but when he was good he was quality but he would have another 6 or 7 when he was awful
-
Jimmys issue was his decision making, maybe the right one 50% of the time? Any higher and he'd probably been a FL player. Got the impression last couple of years he'd just got bored.
-
I don't get down very often now,but James Laurie give a good chunk of his career to are club,he been there through thick and thin and stayed,thanks James might not of worked last 2 seasons but been a great survent,good luck in the future.
-
I have been one of the posters on here that made it clear that I thought James Lawrie's Altrincham career should have ended the season we were relegated from Conf National. I still stand by that.
However I do not feel his release is one of those things that should be celebrated, but just acknowledged, if you believe PP has got it right (assuming it was PPs decision and not one made by James himself). Most people who met James in the bar after games will tell you what a nice fella he is, albeit a sometimes very talented footballer and often a very frustrating one to watch.
Best of luck to him, time to move on for his sake.............and I reckon he will get a gig at a club higher up the pyramid than us.........Curzon ?
-
James was offered a deal.
-
Good luck James lets all move on
-
That goal v Macc, on its own will live forever more in my memory. Thanks James and good luck!
-
It wouldn't surprise me if he ironically ends up at Nantwich.
