People keep saying "If we'd kept Boshell"
We didn't exact;y kick him out the door. He wanted to leave and I, for one, would much rather have a player who WANTS to play for my team than one who wants to be elsewhere.
Bosh was a quality midfielder but he only came to us because he'd had a fall out at Guisely. He went back there as soon as he could so, clearly that is where he wants to be. Getting hold of another player like him, as has been proved, is not easy. Efforts have been made but other places are more inviting to some, particularly given our reluctance to spend cash we don't have.
It is indicative of how this Club has been run for a very long time that we were civilised enough to let him go (with attached restrictions) and aware enough to know that we would most likely not get the best from him so he would not be contributing as fully as we would have needed him to and hoped that he would.
If we'd kept Tom Kearney (different reasons for losing him I know), we'd not have been relegated. We dtill haven't replaced him, not even with Boshell
