Honeyman to Hull?

Not defending him but I consider the main reason we didn't go up was our inability to keep clean sheets. Using your logic you could say the keeper was the one of the main issues for not being promoted as he didn't keep enough clean sheets - which is obviously not true. You cant blame not going up on one individual.

Who said I was blaming one individual?

I think he's better than the alternatives we have on the wing, Watmore, Gooch etc have more pace but their delivery isn't as good as Maguire's from what I remember seeing. Mcgeady is on a different level obviously. Either way we certainly have more than enough options so that Honeyman won't be a huge loss.

But we aren't playing with wingers this season, it's 2 up front with one behind and wingbacks or 1 up front with 2 behind and wingbacks.

Not really, Under Bruce he got a load of stick off the supporters, from memory I am sure he got booed in one match, say he didn't he took a lot of stick from the same supporters giving a home grown lad a load of stick but loving Ovedio Baby, the state of some of our supporters is embarrassing.

No he didn't. No more than the rest of the team anyway.

I gave a few examples earlier. For me, Cattermole was the leader and prime example of this is the Checkatrade Final penalties. At the end of the day, leaders step up in that situation.

You’re saying no harm, but it did. He spent the last third of the season out of form and as captain, didn’t show the noticeable leadership qualities that Cattermole did. To me, that made him a very obvious target among the fans.

If your captain isn’t performing on the pitch, doesn’t seem like the obvious leader and tends to go missing during games, he’s going to attract stick. Not to the ridiculous levels you see on here, but extra criticism should be expected.

Nothing against George, a hard worker and a honest squad player, but he had too much responsibility last season and didn’t have the ability.

Fair enough, decent points but I still think he must have had qualities that us fans didn't see, must have.

Very strange and a bit concerning if Ross didn’t know about it. I wonder who is making the decisions.

It being a surprise does not constitute "not knowing about it" or it being done behind his back. That's just something people who have a proven record of either shit-stirring or having bad info have made up.

It runs totally contrary to the relationship the manager and the board both say they have. If Honeyman wanted to go I don't see any scenario in which the board wouldn't just explain that to JR, or any scenario where he wouldn't understand that fact. On the eve of a very important season, needlessly pissing your manager off by doing a deal behind his back is not even remotely the way in which the owners have gone about things, even the things that aren't ideal. Some people on here would love to convince everyone it is mind.

We've sold a player that no one is gutted about leaving, and some of them slated every week, so they're having to find other ways to slag the club off. Seems much more believable.

I did say if and that seems to be the suggestion of several journalists on Twitter. Obviously they could be twisting the narrative to get a story.
You might say nobody is gutted to see him leave but he is a player the manager made captain and played in the vast majority of games, so he must rate him somewhat.
I think you are correct that some people will use it to have a go at the club, but ito not the first time it’s been suggested (albeit denied) that decisions are being made not led by the manager.
