I'm sure in the long term he'll be glad he doesn't have a season under a gaffer that didn't feel he was at that level. Reilly has secured a good move to a club elsewhere at a decent level. Alls well that ends well I guess. Probably hasn't met the boy. "Gavin wanted to stay ", did he state that before offer was withdrawn.

Enjoy you're hefty wage rise Gav. He knocked back/took his time on on signing a new deal , so I think Stubbs was well within his rights to withdraw that offer. As for league 1 level, that remains to be seen. He could quite easily go to one of these clubs and be a bench warmer just like Mallan has been.

FTOF Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Benchwarmer for Bristol Rover or benchwarmer for us. I suppose it was a difficult decision. Can't blame him for looking for more money. Will it be worth the likely upheaval to his personal life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was only offered another one year deal, not so good when you've just had a baby. Deals down south are two year minimum. I suppose the question then is whom, valued whom more..?

Soctty Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I have my doubts about Gavin setting the heather alight in League 1, but I'd be delighted for him if he does. Regarding the money, who knows what his deal is? (apart from Lord Pitiful of course, who lives on his own assumptions at all times...) It's a big move for him to go such a long way from home with his young family, so hopefully he has been well paid for that, and he takes his career onto a new level.

Gav got a good deal else where I'm genuinely happy for him he is a good lad. There are subtle differences of interpretation. Ross offered him a deal, Gav proposed a different one (two years), Ross said well its on the table till end of june, if i pick up what i need in the interim then its withdrawn, if you decide to go elsewhere in the interim thats ok, if at that point i am still looking then perhaps we might comeback to it. You f you recall Stelios did the exact same last year and took a chance by holding out till the club gave him a better deal. No ones fault Ross left and it went up in the air, but all this talk that Gav rejected it, ignored it or whatever is wide if the mark. He and Ross had an agreement with a best before date. Manager changed, pulled the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 It's old news now anyway , bottom line is Gavin couldn't get back into our starting line-up during the run-in , he wasn't missed as we reached our goal easily. Wasn't missed then , won't be missed next season ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proudtobeabuddy Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm sure if Reilly stayed and was doing well he'd have been quickly offered a 3 year deal and everyone would have been happy but as Billy said he wasn't missed at the end of last season and he chose to stall too long.... he's history now.
