Look at the website, Claire.
I suspect Leo left because he, like many of us, had given up trying to find Mr. Downes's motivational or tactical skills and probably told him so.

He's joining Rushden. Easiest to cancel his contract and let him move on as we would never have got a fee for him. As one of the more experienced pros he can't have been on the smallest wage so hopefully we now have some more slack in the wage budget for new signings.

Just looked on the official site and I can't see anything there about it, in fact the countdown to Port Vale section says he is back for tomorrows fixture. Was he still on the transfer list after his falling out with fans at an earlier home game?

Goodbye to him, he is no loss in my opinion. As a senior pro he should have led by example this season and hasnt.

Isn't the fact that we payed his wages while he was suspended for a few games before letting him go when he was allowed back a bit of a piss take?

Got to be honest and say this ain't no great loss.

How come? To cancel a players contract without paying up the remainder you need the players consent. Considering that no club would have signed him while he was suspended I doubt he would have agreed to this until he had something else set up. It's not a piss-take, we have cover in the positions he has played this season and he must be a high-ish wage earner. Probably the best arrangement for both of us if we can get a midfielder in.

I just hope that Simon's "if" comes true.
Otherwise we have the same midfield as we had last week, and look how well they performed then.
I'm not too bothered about losing Roget in terms of his ability, and we have sufficient cover at centre half, but I wonder if it's the start of a gradual erosion of the squad

This is either good news or bad news, since Roget has joined Rushden and Diamonds we can expect that he wasn't paid up for the remainder of his deal, and now we can hope to get a new midfielder in please

how come we can get rid of a player whos in contract and not the manager?
Roget's contract cancelled
I didn't mind Roget as a player however we are not short in that position so it shouldn't be a great loss and as others have said he was probably on the higher end of the wage scale.
Now that his wage allocation has been freed, we have got to get a good midfielder in, surely!!!

Because it was mutual consent. He had another job lined up!
To the best of my knowledge Wally is not in the running for any other job, so it is unlikely that he would agree to leave without compensation. Would you?
Roget's contract cancelled
in a relegation dogfight and you get rid of one of only two senior pro's. downes never fails in proving to be more of an idiot day by day. Roget didnt respect Downes and i dont believe our other senior pro Rougier does(how can he? Tony is a class act!) Good luck to Leo he should get a good reception when Rushden visit us. DOWNES OUT BEFORE QPR!!!!!

No midfielder........ but according to the sub standard a goal keeper in the form of that triallist, Nelson for £10K

He has been on a free transfer for 4 months and so has probably been speaking with many clubs. This shouldn't come as any surprise. Fact is after his first sending off this season a great many fans wanted him out the door immediately.

I rated Leo, he never backed out of a challenge and sometimes that back fired on him. He has a bit more consistancy than Sonko.
It does seem very quick, almost like a closing down sale.
Good Luck Leo.

Senior pros are all well and good but no use to us if they can't get in the first team. As I said before his wages are surely at the upper end of the scale and we can't afford to pay someone good money to sit on the bench. Fullarton was a senior pro after all and no-one on here shed any tears when he left.

FFS he was on the free transfer list since September, hardly sudden!!
He has almost certainly been speaking with a great many clubs, and no doubt Rushden have offered him a decent deal. Why should we be surprised about this?

He was one of my favourite players....wasn't scared of no one, I geniunely thought he loved the club but he must of got pi**ed of with the useless manager of ours.
I can see Sonko departing in the near future.
I will give him a good reception when he returns to Brentford!!!

cjpm said:
No thanks, we're in enough trouble as it is
The point I was making was that neither of them were first choice for the team so paying them in the higher bracket of wages is a bit of a waste. Sonko, Frampton and Kitemarike are all ahead of him for the centre back role and Somner provides adequate cover. If the wages can be used to bring in the kind of centre midfield we have been crying out for (not another Fullarton though 
) then this will have been a good bit of business.BenMoses

Exactly, we need a commanding CM, and now we can attempt to get one

29 league appearances out of a possible 64 is adequate reason to get rid of him as far aas I'm concerned. He's one of the higher earners and is now (rightly imo) 4th choice centre back.

cjpm said:
He is a more than useful centre back but is too prone to rash tackles for my liking. We have looked pretty secure at the back the last few games with Sonko and Frampton together and it is gives us a left side/right side combination in defence. We are also in a situation where if we have two players who are competing for the same position and can both do the job competently we have to weigh up the wages. Sad but true (now where's that metal thread in chit chat?

But currently was 1st choice holding midfield player, who now gets that role Jay Smith? !
I do hope an experienced midfield man is sorted out pretty pronto, cos our resourses in this area are not good enough.

Quite right. If we've have let him leave without having lined up a midfielder to sign today, then somebody needs shooting..........

I think this is a mutually good move.
Leo has never really been first choice and although capable of decent performances he has also been guilty of a number of flawed ones, plus it has always struck me he has "something missing up top" to be honest.
With Frampton looking more like a first choice centreback it makes little sense having one of our most experienced ( and hence I presume costly) players as only a squad player.
Hopefully this will release wages for a decent CM.

Having thought about this over my lunch break I think what will happen is we will get Ronnie Bull fulltime and then we have Frampton who can do a good job at centre-half. (Did a cracking job against Tranmere at home)
Nice move Wally .. I like yer style.
Thought Leo was very lax anyhow.
Only my personal point of view, for what it's worth ;-)

Yep shall remember him most for that game against Cheltenham, was great entertainment and wish him luick at Rushden. We will be ok as we have Somner and Frampton who can play centre back and Kitamirike too!
Roget's contract cancelled
Sonko's contract finishes at the end of the season but Sonko has a 1 year option,
Kitamirike & Bull are only on loan, Somner & Frampton enough said & Dobbo is in the worse form of his career........Who do we have left?
The weeks get worse being a Bees fan, We have saved what 2k a week with smithy & roget going does this mean with with 4,000 crowds Wally money has gone down from 14k a week to 12k?
