I know there are lots of other threads on this but here is my take on it.
Revell:
I am inclined to believe that he did possibly want out and may have had little future at the club. Bear in mind he wasn't in the starting eleven until very recently and these games may well have been last chance boulevard for him.
Now Laurent is fit and ready to go again and it is only my opinion but i feel he would have been fifth choice striker and again imo he is not league 1 standard and unfortunately never would be.
Betsy:
Quite similar to Revell really though i actually think he is of L1 standard but is now ageing and his chances would have been probably limited by Scannell getting fit again, along with choices in the midfield of:
Moussa
Grant
McCormack
JFC
Scannell
Sawyer
O'Keefe
Hazell (plays wide right i believe)
On the finances well i would totally agree things really arn't good and personally i am a lot more concerned about the winding up petition which a lot of people on here don't seem to be taking to seriously. Despite what people say it is quite rare for it to get to that stage and having run larger businesses than SUFC it tends to signal very big problems. Also bear in mind there will probably be a similar sized bill due very soon!
Geoff King in truth shouldn't have said what he did about Revell but in all honesty he was pretty much spot on about him imo, though i fully agree it shouldn't have been said in public, mainly for team morale purposes.
