First of all, thanks and good luck Robbie. A top man and a proper 'Alty' footballer, always enjoyed our chats with him and Laney. Good luck wherever you go and I think there's a lot of management potential there.
I'll look back on Robbie's Alty carer and remember the good times like his Boxing Day performance and goal v Vics and a barnstorming display when we drew away at Oxford.
I think now is probaly a good time for him to leave though while he can still get a decent club to go to, it was clear he wasn't a first choice here. I think perhaps his run of injuries which all started with a poor challenge by an R&D player (Noubassie) in a 0-4 defeat here at Moss Lane has hampered him somewhat and meant he was not the physical presence he was when he arrived, as such it's hard to base our play around him at the moment.
Hopefully this will free up funds for one or two fresh players (although I suspect Robbie was not a high earner or certainly not overpaid) which are clearly essential.
All in all a sad day as another Alty player and link to times when pour teams had heart and spirit leaves, and leaves us at an uncertain juncture, an important few weeks coming up I think. I know it won't arse the players but we are proud of our fa trophy record and would love to improve it, we also badly need the £5k or so to bring in reinforcement...which is a bit liek asking turkeys to vote for christmas.
Anyway, like I said, best of luck Robbie.
