Brentford will miss him for his commitment, starting or coming off the bench, though I suppose Kev will be back from injury and provides something similar. Still, I think Rosler will regret releasing him.

The Marcus Bean thread
IMHO you have to do more than "feature" in games. Marcus did a lot of "featuring in games" over the past few years but perhaps we are now looking for someone who can "positively influence games".
Don't think he was badly treated. He wasn't led up the garden path with suggestions he would get a contract and is now free to find a new club in the same way as many other players who are out of contract are. With his appearance record and the fact he has age on his side still he is bound to find something and if Orient do pursue their interest it could be a good move for him.
As a person, Marcus seems like he has always been a model pro at the club and he has had his moments on the pitch although from a personal point of view, like Robert Quinn, Eddie Hutchinson and others, he was always one whos name on the teamsheet left me a bit underwhelmed about what was coming up that afternoon. Just being honest, do your worst moribee.

I agee 100% with JT.
If Brentford are to progress it will be a continuing project to release/sell players that the management consider will not take the club forward. Pro. footballers all have agents and should be aware of the way the system works from an early age,one reason they get paid far more than the average wage.
Good luck to Marcus, feel sure he will get a contract with another club.

You need to explain to me why. Feel my patience has been tested by an ethic of some to constantly denigrate players on here in their work place. Some of the stuff that has been written would not be acceptable in the writers work places nor would they be happy about it,tho maybe some of their work performances fall short and better is needed. It would not be nice to plaster it all over a web site. Sorry if this view offends and I emphasise the word some. It's not up to us who plays and who is got rid of even if we are all football managers at hearts. Some need to try and wear boot on other foot. Promotion three years ago was precious and emotional and to see what we celebrated deemed as being surplus in such a short space of time and denigrated by some makes me wonder why we bother.

It is somewhat surprising that you can't see the difference between the very Public workplace of a Professional footballer operating in the entertainment industry and a typical supporters workplace. Anyone who chooses a career that puts their performances in the public spotlight (and gets well paid for it too) has to expect that scrutiny of their performances by the public (in this case supporters) will happen. The whole reason that they have the job they have is because people like you and me pay to come and watch them. Same goes for actors of stage and screen, politicians, musicians, etc, in fact anyone whos work puts them in the public eye.
If you really cannot see that part of the purpose of a supporters messageboard is to debate the pros and cons of various aspects of the club including players performances then maybe you should cut yourself adrift from the messageboard altogether because it isn't going to change just because you protest about it 50 times a day.
I'm quite glad to hear that your patience is being tested because at least you now know how the rest of us feel reading your repetitive posts.

Working in public customer service industry my job is not that much different apart from say of course. I would not expect it to be discussed in a public forum in a derogatory way without means of reply,nor would you. I find you extremely rude,that's your burden to carry but as most of you on here stick together it probably doesn't feel a burden.

Can't see what your gripe is,I have as much enthusiasm to give Bean or Wood a farewell open top bus ride through brentford high street as l have to pouring a bucket of sh*te over the heads of Charlie or Alexander.Players come and go,fans stay.
The Marcus Bean thread
If you really think there is not much difference between someone working in a service industry and someone who works in front of thousands of people in the entertainment industry then there is little point in even discussing it with you.
I think that is part of the problem. You are so entrenched in your own views that you do not listen to any alternative arguments and consider whether they are valid.
Footballers will always have their performances analysed on TV, in the press, on supporters messageboards and at the game itself. It is part of what makes the football industry go round and the internet has merely provided another means for the debate to take place.
You need to just accept that. If that is being rude then you need to get a thicker skin. As for people sticking together, I think you mean people who don't agree with you. That is plain arrogance from you and your last sentence which in itself is rudeness personified is hypocritical in the extreme.
Have a think about it and consider whether just occasionally other peoples opinions might have some value !

if we keep paying/playing those players that have proved in the subsequent 3 seasons that they are not good enough to really challenge for the playoffs or promotion then brentford will forever continue to be a mid-table third division club, support will continue to drift away as we would be perceived to have no ambition of bettering ourselves, and then where would we be?

Moribee I applaud your defence even if I disagree with it. Like you I have worked for many years in a service industry and whilst I have not had to put up with personal abuse on a message board my company, and by imication me have Bren slated ( royal bank of Scotland!!)
Footballers however live and die in a very public arena for which they are paid substantial funds in part because they will get grief or become unemployed. The very structure of our media is dependent upon being able to discuss the merits or otherwise if players and teams. We may not always agree but u bet most if us read the back pages of the papers and tune our radios to sports programs if not sport would be very sterile
Marcus and others were a significant part if our promotion from the bottom league, they are probably not good enough to see us to promotion to a higher league or don't fit into the managers plans. They are all fully aware if their own strengths and weaknesses and as such expect to be moved from club to club
Whether the decision to let them go is correct or not is the point of this debate but I would imagine even Marcus does not feel let down as he knew that come this summer his contract was up and realistically he was not the managers first choice
Can we accept he was not treated badly, look back on the good times and wish him well??

I dont know if these are your own words or picked up from some other source but its a really good quote!
I think Marcus has been a really great servant of the club. Always gave 100%, great relationship with fans. Some lack of technique but his effort made up for it. Really sorry to see him go but if we want to move on we cannot afford nostalgia. Look at how QPR treated Warnock, thought it was shameful but Sparky will probably keep them up( worst luck! )
Players at clubs are far more transient these days and loyalty is not often seen as as a virtue any longer at any workplace. cant say that I like it but its something that we have to live with in the modern world. The important thing is the club and its fans which hopefully are a bit more permanent and less fickle.

Agree 100% and while I'll miss Marcus for his attitude and effort, it's not sad, he hasn't died or been sacked, he's just at the end of his contract and unless I read or hear otherwise sure it's something he's been well aware of, expecting and dealing with and making alternative arrangements for in the manner you'd expect of a professional, decent, personable, level headed contractor to.
Good luck Marcus, hope you enjoy your next job as much as you appear to have this one.

He was one of those 'nearly' players for me - great commitment and a good servant but not one that I wanted to see as 'our future'.
I'd have off loaded him too - the crunch is who we replace him with but as I've said in many posts - if we start with the ones we were left with then only expect the same that we had this season... and the majority of it was dire...

Great League 2 player and an average League 1 player but does put in 100% all the time. We deemed that we need better to have a season similar to yours so make of that what you will. However I don't know if we will cut it in the Championship with you guys next season...

It all depends what sort of player you need.
Marcus is a worker, breaks play up and when pushed up the park puts pressure on teams in their own half.
Alongside or in front of someone capable of latching onto and distributing the ball he wins he's an asset.
The flip side is he can resemble a headless chicken when in possession as his passing and shots on goal ratio to tackles won is poor at best.
Well liked, as someone else said a solid league 1 player with a great attitude, never leaves anything on the pitch, plays with a smile on his face but not blessed with natural ability.

Just realised when my daughter was very little and used to cry at night I used to walk around trying to comfort her. Turned out I dont know the words to many songs so "We all dream of a team of marcus beans" was a regular feature of her early months. Lucky girl.

You would be looking a one surprised Boro fan if we get into the championship next year, i do hope i am wrong but, well i just cant bring myself that far along yet. He sounds like a Bostwick type player midfield just in front of defense. Bostwicks shots are quiet something though, your comments about his passing worry me a little if your gonna play that sort of role you need to get the ball out to the wings and frontmen. We do like workers though, and in this regard he does seem to fit, Its all just rumour, though
Thanks for your reply's...

No offence to Stevenage, but I think we would prefer one of the moneybags clubs to get promoted, just so they aren't in League 1 with us next season.
The Marcus Bean thread
Yes it's possible. Subject to him signing a contract and on pitch performances.
The Marcus Bean thread
A fully justified responce, i certainly won't take offence to that, i would expect nothing else, with Sheffield United or Huddersfield up you will stand a better chance of an automatic next year. I like the look of league one myself next year we would stand a good chance of staying up i think...

Seems the right sort of deal for someone at his stage in their career: a bit of job security.
Think he can do a good job for them - just hope it's not against us
