Butler

[Bessie Red]

Just read the latest article from Liam Hoden RW had discussion with Andy he wanted to play football so he’s found that at Boston where he could play every week if selected. The club and RW have looked after Andy with the pay up he’s received. Although RW said he would liked moved players out he’s not saved much money due giving the money that Andy deserves.

This should have come out from the club when the decision was made instead of waiting for an article in the free press and allowing for supporters to put their own conspiracy theories forward.

He was initially offered a loan deal with Boston but turned it down. He was never in RW plans for the coming season. Although sad to see Butts go, it is probably the best solution all round to avoid any conflict at the club.

It’s not speculation now! Care to reconsider your thoughts, along with a few others?

Bessie we have three young centre halves one who RW judges to be one of the best in league one in Anderson two younger centre halves with pace. Andy was fourth in line and would not have been playing therefore as you say Boston appear to offered a loan. He did not want that therefore through negotiations with the club he was payed up for the benefit of Andy. So as others have said he not been kicked out the club a realisation that he was not going to get enough games has led to a move to Boston with a financial settlement which suits him and possibly the club.

No I do not wish to reconsider them. I'm glad the club paid Butler up but the facts of this remain what they were the other day. Just a little but more of it is now in the public domain thanks to that article. Wellens didn't want him and Butler wanted better for himself, even if he didn't want to leave Rovers.

I'm not saying any more on this here.

Thank you for sharing. Hoping to see Butts in town one day. I'd like to buy him a drink.

Still don't think he gets the recognition he deserves.
