I can see him signing for York, based on what he has said. Do hope I am wrong as he is such a key player.

Sounds like maybe smaller clubs have offered him more money with their financial clout of being in league 2, York, Mansfield?

Commuting from Leeds, I guess he doesn't want to move.  I wonder how long a deal we have offered.
Quoted from itsnotcoditshaddock
Based on the fact he lives near Leeds, maybe York in for him? Or Hartlepool if he moves closer to home?
Yeah Hartlepool could be another option, being close to where he's actually from.

Playing devils advocate but what if others all want the same?

Give it to one but not others? Would we then have the team spirit/unit we witnessed last season?

I hate the thought of sitting tight and watch Magnay leave over a few extra costs. We need the incentives and fast

Quoted from BIGChris
The last minute or so indicates to me that he is off and we will be surprised that the club he is going to as we will consider them smaller. Seems his travel costs and location is key. He car shared with Hannah, Paddy & Parslow last season and with all them gone he can't afford the travel costs to training everyday!

He is a skilled operator on and off the pitch ( maybe trained in such at Chelsea?). Says lots about the fans and size of club. Has been offered a decent pay rise but wanted/expected more.

IMO going public is the end of negotiation.

Thanks Carl, a cracking and consistent performer BUT like every player, replaceable (somehow)


I agree BC. It makes me sad and angry because I think he'd stay if he was offered the deal he surely deserves. If Town let their player of the year leave over these issues then they open themselves up to criticism IMO. If you take him at his word, and I judge him absolutely sincere, he wants to find a way to stay. We MUST make that happen if it's in our power IMO.

What's more worrying for me is that I don't think it bodes well in terms of several other key players signing on again.  
Perhaps we will not be going 'all out' for the title next season as hoped, but, more than ever, trying to do it on the cheap and hope for the best.

If he does go to York then at least we can sign him back the season after....

Quoted from LH
Can't see the board being too happy that he's used the media to create a bit of fan disappointment to lever a few extra quid for petrol. That said though it's what 80ish miles to Leeds? Roughly 5 litres on fuel at £1.09/litre ish. It's not a lot is it really per journey?


£15 minimum in diesel each day. Suspect there is at least 5 commutes a week which is 800 miles. £75 a week fuel, plus devaluing his vehicle. Add to that wear and tear on his vehicle plus any repairs, it soon adds up. I'm sure there is a reason why he's based Leeds way on such as family work commitments. Anyone know what Mrs Magnay does for a living? Let's get her a job in Grimsby!

Offer them either a place in digs or a fixed rate contribution per mile? It is their choice to live away after all. Surely he has an accountant to sort his short term contract fuel duty refund too?

I get the impression he will leave now, come on town we must try keep these players ffs so frustrating when you  hear him going on about a smaller club but offering him a bit more.

Hartwells sponsor the club don't they. I am sure they have a 2yr old mondeo they could use to sponsor the clubs player of the year in return for a few extra hospitality seats per game?
