Another Player York Street Bound.

Sparks - I'm surprised at your post but most of your posts since Tunge was appointed have been negative. I can't think how you would have experience to make a negative judgement - I don't think Jamie will have come across Tunge as either a player or a manager.

Like a lot of supporters I look at other club forums and it was clear from your posts on the Grantham forum that Jamie was not staying at Stamford long before the budget was set for next season and before Tunge was appointed.

I know Shaun Pearson was offered a new contract and Tunge and the club wanted him to stay. Shaun naturally wanted to keep his options open in case a bigger club came in for him to give him a better opportunity. That is what has happened and Boston will have to pay Stamford compensation.

So far as the other players are concerned, as a supporter, I'd be happy for all of them to be playing here next season but you always mention the Stamford budget which suggests the only reason they are not at Stamford is that Boston have offered them more money. Is that really the only reason they have moved on? Not ambition to play at a higher level?

Tyrone has posted on here thanking the supporters and making it clear that he is looking to play at as high a level as possible to give him a chance to get back into the pro game. That's ambition.

I've enjoyed many a football chat with you over a beer at away games and I hope we will do so again. Maybe we will meet at Quorn. Loughborough or Shepshed if we are there and Boston don't have a game.

Anybody understand this post from NU?

I think it's common knowledge Reading previous posts Tunge has had to cut the budget, and has resulted in Clarke and others leaving. Having seen Clarke and kirk in a few games last year and talking to fans I must say I thought they were both average and I can see why Tunge has not gone all out to retain them. I saw Clarke miss numerous chances and he didnt do enough for the team in games that I saw, I can say having spent time in Tunges company he is certainly not ignorant and takes time to speak to fans after games, I certainly bent his ear in the bar after games at deeping, I would say your comments are bitter towards Tunge because he didnt push the boat out and was prepered to let jamie go. I certainly don't think it's a huge loss and again I believe the management team have done the right thing. Pearson on the other hand will be hard to replace, he is a class act.

bananarama if you had seen a few games last year as you said you had then how could you possibly come up with the conclusion kirky is average? i went to every game bar a couple and i can honestly say he had 2 bad games last season the other games he was as everyone says who saw the games was sensational without a doubt!!! he is a class act and as sad as i am to see him go i wish him th best in his quest to break into the pro game i know i would love to see him on the tv!!! as for clarke how could you say he was average 25 goals plus last season and he missed a few games in the non league circuit he is class and anyone who knows anything about football knows that a striker isnt judged on how many chances he misses but how many he scores look at the top pros owen misses chance after chance so did andy cole but what mattered is they got there and in the end they would have 5 chances in a game and convert 2 thats what matters and if it wasnt for the injury he had im sure he would have turned pro...

I cant believe any of you can bemoan the fact thet Clarke, Kirk, and Pearson have left for Boston or doubt their credentials in doing so or what they achieved or didn't last season

Sure they will be on more money, but Boston are a bigger club, in fact at this level, arguably the biggest, certainly in history and even allowing for that the fact that some clubs do get bigger crowds, in levels of support generally.

You want to see their away support, it's truly incredible

People mention budgets, or lack of them at Stamford as the reason these guys have left, I dont think you can be further from the truth.

Sure they have more money and understandably harbour higher aspirations this year than we do (though who knows what will happen when the new ground comes) I have to add though, and it's only my opinion that Boston is the best NL club outside the conference and no-one can even remotely question the reasons why these three have joined them

Sure they will get more money but given the chance of staying at Stamford and moving to Boston, it's a no brainer, they had to go

You read Tyronnes post, he loved it when the supporters sang his name, well next year 1000 of them at the Jakemans wil bel. That is a hard prospect to turn down, for any player, and even if we matched their wages at Boston, do you really think they would have stayed once they knew Boston wanted them, of course they wouldn't...would you?

All budgets have to relevant, workable and sustainable, ours is and has to remain so. If that means losing a few players on the way, then it's life, it will happen, but the call from Boston is to big a shout to turn down

Might be different if it was Grantham, who apparently are paying bigger wages than we are, if they had moved there, one could call them greedy bastards who have shown no loyalty, but they haven't they have moved on but most certainly upwards, bemoan their loss for sure, but not only wish them well, keep their memories safe, especially Pearson, I rather think like Bostons goalkeeper Aaron he might not be there for long before another step up is made

Got to wish Kirky, Jamie and Shaun all the best, we all know they are capable of playing at a higher level than Unibond South and if I was offered the chance to play in front of crowds of four figures and mix it with FC Utd then I would take the chance.
Good luck to them.
