‘For the first time in the best part of 16 years I am going in to a professional football season not in contention to play or to be involved in a football match. The reason I say it like that is because those that have been asking or others that are simply wondering “the answer is yes I am still contracted to a professional football club”. There is a lot more to the story but now is not the right time. I am hurting and in truth I am in pain I can’t deny that it’s all I have ever known since the day that I can remember.’
There is more that he has posted after this but it wasn’t really relevant to our concerns
All very odd. I also heard Jobi McAnuff tipping us for relegation on The Athletic podcast saying we had "massive issues behind the scenes". They played together at Orient didn't they?

That is very worrying. However it could be him protecting his mate. As you say must’ve been team mates
Let’s hope it’s an isolated incident involving just that player🤞Agreed it was an unusual signing at the time.
On a side note, were the Hartlepool highlights omitted from the EFL show on Quest? McAnuff co presented the show. Didn’t see them, not that there was a great deal to see from what I understand!

Although there were some glitches on EFL on Quest, our lowlights were on there. The glitches meant that they had to break off from League 1 highlights and move on to League 2. After showing League 2, they reverted to League 1. I think they completed League 2 after that but not sure now - I was tired. It's possible you missed Crawley because of the unusual order, but we were definitely there.
There are extended "Highlights"on YouTube I wouldn't recommend watching it as we are dire and I can see why Yems was so frustrated with our performance but he picks the team.

Without wishing to state the obvious, that really doesn't sound good. I've liked McAnuff since his time at Cardiff, and more recently as a pundit - and would respect his view on things.

That’s a bit of an odd thing for him to say. How would he know? What does he know about our club other than hearing things second hand from his former teammate Josh Wright?!
Have to say this is the first time in about 5 or 6 seasons I’m reasonably confident we won’t be involved in a relegation scrap. We have made a mistake with Wright’s contract but that was obvious last season, guess we can just watch the current situation with him play out but I doubt if it will affect the squad, players come and go all the time, that’s pro football
I agree defo, only thing that was wrong about it was we should have only offered Wright a half season deal, then if he turned out to be rubbish (which he was) then just don't renew his contract.
What does slightly concern me a little is if he is still contracted to the club as he's made it clear he doesn't want to play for us again, so if that's the case the club need to sort out a mutual termination IMO as we can't really be playing 2 year's wages to someone that isn't training or been named in the squad let alone playing

I'm not sure what he heard, I was just listening to it.
How would he know? Well he works for Sky, played for over 20 years, was a player coach and interim manager etc. So if you are suggesting Josh Wright is his only contact you are likely mistaken......
