He has split sheaths, hence the surgery.
I`ve said it before and I`ll say it again, we signed a crock, I doubt we`ll see Brooker in a Rovers shirt again, Christ the lad gets injuries when he`s injured!
I've no idea how long is left on his contract, but you can't just \"cancel his contract\". You can pay up his contract or you can agree by mutual consent.
well cancel by mutual consent, the fact remains that what ever we are paying him as a club is wasted money.
You mean mutual isn't one way, fcuk! must get back to school. All them managers that leave by mutual consent are really thick if they could have been sacked and paid out. I think its more of the club saying we're going to have to seriously think this out as it aint working to the player/manager and the player agreeing. Every business can get rid of someone, players are no different. Even he couldn't argue the toss at why they would want to terminate a contract. It would probably have been cheaper to pay his contract out at first rather than all the medical costs, and if he didnt agree to this 'mutual consent' then do you really want a player like that at the club?Its got the makings of a McIntyre all over again. Only difference was Macca played and scored more for Donny! Like I say I feel for the lad and shame I aint seen him playing more but the situation taking money from the club for nil return and that upsets more people than Guy playing.

As it is he remains a DRFC player and it's not going to cost us very much more for us to keep it that way. IF by some miracle he does get fit, we have a player who may prove to have the quality we're looking for and he will be in some debt to Rovers for sticking with him, you'd expect he might have some loyalty to the club. Unlike McIntyre.If we got rid now we'd definitely lose the player only to save a minimal amount, it makes no sense.
If he does remain injured and sees out the term of his contract, then it doesn't really make that much difference to the club. We'd gambled and lost but they went into the agreement with their eyes wide open. At that point as a free agent he could leave and try and find another club or more likely retire. Or if he was still determined to make a comeback we could offer him a pay as you play deal with decent bonuses.
I appreciate that with our budget one or two risks have to be taken,however this was always a risk to far.The fans didnt know it at the time but Rovers would have, that hes permantely lost a large % of his reflection in his knee.That came out when he sued Bristols physio.He had previousley spent a year out prior to signing for us.All these add up to a leave it scenario. It was suggested his deal was structured to lean towards playing however he has taken up many man hours by our medical team and his medical bills will be enormous. Personally i dont think we will ever see him in a rovers shirt,i have been told on a number of occasions this season that he is finished,i hoped they were wrong but i think his career is sadly hanging by a thread..
