I honestly don't know why the previous posts were removed.........Still waiting for someone to advocate the case for Livermore to not be moved on as soon as is viable - awful player, poor captain.
Didn't see the posts before they were removed but has anyone actually suggested he should be given a contract extension? For myself I honestly believe he's become a go to figure for abuse and often comes in for undue criticism.
Yes he makes mistakes but I'm just amazed at some of the stuff he gets blamed for while Mowatt for instance often gets a free pass. At the same time his detractors rarely acknowledge when he's actually done something good or had a decent game.
It's like a default setting. Jake isn't always the problem yet he's an easy target for derision. We all know he isn't a world beater but at the same time he isn't always at fault either, yet collective failures are almost always laid solely at his feet.
For the record, no, I am not advocating we retain his services. It's time for a reset. We need someone more mobile, able to play on the turn and more consistent. Are we going to get that with Jake's wages off the bill? Possibly but I honestly have no idea who is available for his role and on a free.
Let's face it, we probably won't be paying much of a tranfer fee on an up and coming replacement. Again, that's not an excuse to keep him. For me we shouldn't have offered contract extensions to Bartley, Furlong or Phillips either.
