A replacement or an upgrade? Baring in mind Banks was only on the bench you’d be looking for someone to start alongside Rooney and Gotts if they are “replacing” (I.e getting the same money) as Banks, not just a sub

Mutual consent by wedgie sounds like something the Marquis de Sade would’ve dreamed up.

Would certainly bring a different approach to negotiations...

it's 3 - Jamie Devitt, Zanzala and Banks - smart moves on the 1st 2 and Banks whilst a good player wasn't a high energy player and that's the type we'll need under Wild;- so it was a good move for both the club and Banks
4 - Josh Gordon to be shipped out in the very near future.

Sorry to see Ollie departing. Thanks for all your efforts, Captain and for all your goals too :D
Good luck for the future.

Shame as we have lost a player who can impact a game and there’s not many especially at our level who can do what he could. Good luck for your future the Barrow artist formally known as Banksy👏
I also have concerns like SB that this sets a precedent and impacts upon us further down the line🤔

On reflection I guess it’s all about sustainability and stability, those being the things the BoD crave for the club. It still feels like we should have a revolving door fitted at HS for players, managers and other club staff.

Ollie’s departure for whatever reasons and the events leading to it should not happen in a settled stable club environment. It’s also not a great selling point for a club who finds it challenging to recruit anyway.

PW seems to go about his business with a minimum of fuss. Hopefully this is a sign of more settled times ahead.

Expect this situation!, we've made bad decisions over the last few seasons, these now hopefully have been rectified, BUT it will mean quite a few changes to our squad ( much needed) but I'M quite chilled about this because it was needed yes it’s looks bad ,but in reality it had to happen, looks like we'll have a hard working team we can identify with and fully support them !

Yep, it will take a few windows and a couple seasons for Wild to build the side he wants. I think we have done good early business with the players brought in and clean cuts for Zanzala and Banks has helped. He is targeting players who see Barrow as a good opportunity for them whilst also bringing in experience to balance things. We also have some very good players already at the club and feeling quite optimistic that with Wild we can finally start seeing progress on the pitch.

Signed for Chesterfield.

One would guess that pressure was put on by banks and his agent to have the contract terminated to avoid a fee. Could be totally wrong though.

Players look after themselves they have too.
I believe Banks signed his new contract and later had his head turned thought the grass was going to be greener elsewhere so we got rid
Probably helps the finances

Remember John Rooneey saying he needed to move to Stockport to be nearer the cash sorry home as his wife was a nurse and had a young child.
Wonder where he is now ?

To be brutally honest though, he was having a negative impact for us towards the end of the season, mistakes costing us goals. Yes, a good player but for me his performances towards the end of the season dictate that we look for more consistent alternatives. Wish him well.
