How about a supporters Gofund for the wages of Butterfield to keep him at Scunny ?? We raised 70k last time
Sadly you’re missing a key fact – he doesn’t fit into Andy’s plans.

I’ve kept quiet.
I am totally unsure what has happened and can’t believe that many contributors know any better.
Speculation is one thing – but there’s been rather too much blame floating about based on too little certainty.

Probably nowt better to do. That’s about it. Mixed with a little bit of insensitivity and lack of appreciation or forgetfulness about what we’ve just gone through.

Yes, fair enough, but has she any reason to post other than the truth. For the avoidance of any doubt, I’m not intending to be critical of the club, my intention was solely to express my disappointment at losing one of the best footballers we’ve had for some years. (IMO)

Always find it strange why a person or spouse of a person would discuss actual details of their renumeration even down to a percentage cut basis. That would only, as it has here, lead to speculation based on no actual evidence to what Butterfield had been earning and what he could have lost by signing a new deal. Better just to say a new contract could not be agreed between both parties and they are going their separate ways. Don’t think Mrs Butterfield will be on social media discussing how much more her husband will be earning at his new club but you never know. Very strange behaviour IMO.
She was just pissed off just like my wife would be.
Anyone would think shes not allowed to be.Better to say they had gone there separate ways for the club maybe.
Did Michelle say the club and Hilton had gone there separate ways and leave it at that, no of course she didn’t and you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Michelle’s message to Hilton upon acquiring the club was professional. I can understand her being disappointed about her husband having to look elsewhere, but is it best to air it so publicly? I think that’s unwise, but this fuss over very little has dragged on and I don’t see why it’s worth continuing.
Yes, fair enough, but has she any reason to post other than the truth.
As I have said before on this thread, it is more likely that her saying that is down to an expectation that the club would keep coming back with better offers once the initial one had been turned down, and feeling affronted that they did not. So she believes, probably, that they did not ‘fight’ to keep Butterfield.
The other side of that coin, then, is that the club has implemented a strict wage structure and is very good at sticking to it. Well done, imho.

In his latest interview Andy Butler says Butterfield was offered 3 contracts with a coaching role included. Doesn’t sound like he wasn’t in the manager’s plans. Yet the club will still get stick because of an interpretation by Butterfield’s partner.
According to Butler the information given paints a different picture to Butterfield’s wife. 3 contracts offered with one offering a player/coaching role and turned them all down.
They aren’t the actions of a club/manager who aren’t bothered with losing a player and not putting effort in to keep them. End of the day we have a budget and Butterfield wanted the same money he was getting before, which was silly money for this level and we weren’t prepared to pay it.
End of story.
