Another player not wanting to play for PB any more

Negative comments like that (however justified) will not go down well..... We must all be positive, optimistic and of good cheer.
Another post based on nothing but pushing an agenda.
I liked Worrall a lot, one of the best pure wingers I can remember at the club. Good luck to him.
I'd settle for remotely objective.
Been offered more money than we are willing to pay...simple as that.
I am one of the most positive, upbeat posters on here. I am also, I would argue, basing my current worries on the evidence that is widely available, and from what I have seen with my own eyes at Roots Hall. PB is not above criticism, and I think he has a track record for upsetting and alienating players (look how quickly BBBC jumped ship at the end of last season for just one example, let alone Prosser, Bolger, Worral...). What I don't understand is that every time I or others express these worries, we are criticised for being negative, un-objective, unfair - but our points are never ever addressed and rebutted.
There will always be posters that disagree with your views,

But you've zero evidence that Worrall leaving has anything to do with Phil Brown. Players leave clubs at the end of their contract. It isn't always down to some falling out with the manager. It is usually down to how much money has been offered.
And what is this about Barry Corr leaving because of Phil Brown? Where has that come from? Corr talked about not enjoying playing up front on his own, but he hadn't been playing up front on his own for six months at the point where he left and I'm sure he did enjoy the huge pay rise and three year contract that Cambridge were offering.
If Barry Corr will come back if Phil Brown leaves then consider me on that bandwagon, but I don't think he will because there's nothing to link his departure to a falling out with the manager.
I find the current situation slightly worrying. I was one of the members of the Zone who were not overly disappointed that we didn't make the play-offs because I felt that we needed to spend another year in League One with a strengthened squad that would be capable of both gaining promotion and holding its own in the Championship the following season. My vision was based around hanging on to our better players from the season just ended and augmenting the squad with additional players of similar quality. Sadly, what seems to be happening is that some of those better players that I saw as being those that I would have wanted to keep (Worrall, Payne, Bentley and, probably, Bolger) will no longer be with us. So, rather than having to recruit, say, four or five new players for our first-choice starting eleven plus substitutes, we are now looking at eight or nine, which makes the task of finding and attracting the players that we need doubly difficult.
