Boco's no real loss. Amazing how he keeps messing Cook about

CT on Boco;

No player is bigger than the club

He's let Paul Cook down

Contracts offers (plural) were made and he turned them down.

Banks as well?

I think this will be an interesting January transfer window for CFC - we need to keep our momentum going

Disappointing by Boco, especially when we are on the crest of a wave! If he had intentions to go...surely playing in a huge FA Cup match in front of 30,000...would have showcased him more!?

Yes, very strange...especially as he gave him first team football when no one else did! no doubt he has crapped a potful with Cook now.

I think somewhere on this thread somebody posted a link to an article in a recent edition of a Plymouth paper which suggested Boco and his buisness partner had lost £100k each/between them in a failed attempt to turn buildings into a care home. Just coincidence that this appears a few days before he leaves us?
He did well for us on the pitch and it would have been nice if something could have been sorted, but I think, on Bocos side at least, this runs a bit deeper than CFCs contract offers.

Not quite they bought a former care home with a view to turning it into flats but were refused planning permission

Thanks moondog, wrong way round but the sentiment is the same.

It was when he playing for them Mark so it's nothing new......

It is if the decision was taken in the last week or so which then confirms the financial loss to them.

He was on NC terms, offered contracts, refused so we move on and now the youth team are out of the cup a chance for one or two of those to come in and take his place

I don't think so

The decision was last week but not necessarily a loss as they can put the premises back up for sale or appeal the decision

[Half Full]

IF it's anything like the cricket I assume he will be getting silly money. Doesn't he currently share a flat with Armand? I hope he can afford the rent on his own! Actually there have been suggestions that Bocco has been a help to Armand so it might have a knock on. (No doubt some on here will not see that as significant)

The league out there is very much in its infancy and whilst some getting on a bit biggish names have gone there the majority wont be on anything like the money some of the cricketers are getting in the IPL. That said i suspect he is on more than he would get from any club, not just us, in this country.

He has had a bizarre career for a very solid lower league player

They won't be getting the income from gate receipts that's for sure prices start at around a quid for this Saturday's first game

I'm not quite sure how Boco has let us down if he came, played on a non-contract basis, put in a good shift when called upon, decided not to sign permanently, then went off elsewhere for a new adventure and a few quid. What's wrong with that? Having read Turner's comments I think mebbe I'm missing part of the story.

To me he seems to be in a desperate situation re money and this is affecting his decision making.

Perhaps it's a classic Politicians trick, turn the situation on its head by going on the attack. They must have been aware there would be some disquiet if he was to leave.

I tend to think, 'we move on', same as when we lost Dyche, Mercer, Williams, K Davies, Lester, C Davies. Boco put in a shift and did well - no-one expected much when he signed on non-contract terms and he exceeded those expectations. I'd be more annoyed if we were to lose Ryan, Morsy, Doyle or Clucas to be honest.

Maybe he'll be back next season, who knows? He certainly seems to be an interesting character

Not sure there is good analogy to be had there. First season without all of Dyche, Mercer, Williams and Kevin Davies we were relegated. Same with Craig Davies.

Know what you are saying with Boco though. Just an average player, can be replaced, from within or out, I am sure.

But the club's still here (only just after Brown!!), and we're all still watching. Our time to have a fantastic side will come again (Nicky Law's side, in 2010, and now). If players don't want to play for CFC we move on. Whether they're the best player ever or average, if they feel their future lies elsewhere, ta-ta.

Totally agree

How people can condemn him when they have no idea of the value of contract(s) offered to him. The fact he would rather play non contract and work part time suggests the contract(s) weren't worth that much

They other thing I find remarkable is that when Turner states "contracts', people believe that means more than one, this guy is so loose with his tongue it could mean absolutely anything
