Good luck to the lad. One of the big money boys had to go. Give about three or four of the youngsters pro contracts with the cash.

the clubs confirmation is fairly amusing, they have written it (accurately) to make it sound as bad as possible. 7 league goals of which 3 were from the pen spot.  pretty dismal for a reported 260k in wages
Money a couple of months ago we were lauding him as the 20/25 goal a season striker!!

Yes see who if anyone comes in to replace him.....the timing of it smacks of budget cutting...but let’s see eh?

It's quite a different view here...

absolutely cost cutting, we gambled on staying in L1 in January 18 and KVV was one of those gambles that failed along with the other 8 that joined 12 months ago.  we gambled again in the summer that they would get us back up and they have (so far) failed again.  balancing the books was always on the cards

he has scored 26 league goals in 3 years, getting 20 in one was always going to be a significant ask.

good luck to him, but there is a reason why he is bobbing between sc***horpe and northampton.

Good riddance. Never put his heart into it. Terrible signing as he was just in a sulk with Scunny at the time and went to ludicrous lengths (leaving) to prove it.

Think they are right in saying the move suits both parties.

KVV - Clearly talented, unsure if he wanted to be here and on a ton of money.

Cobblers - Cost cutting, in need of players that will give 110% and looking to trim the squad/free up some wages.

A real shame as KVV was a marquee type signing for us, but at the present time it is probably the right decision. The form of Williams lately and the return of Morias should make this (hopefully) look like a no brainer at the end of the season.


Good luck KVV, where is the money going Mr Thomas?

Not that bothered about KVV going. I wasn’t really that excited when he signed for us in all honesty due to his very average goal scoring record. Even this year half his goals were pens. He has moments of magic but I’d like to see us go and get someone with a better goal scoring record.

At the start of the season he was immense. Absolutely unplayable and I was thrilled that we still had him. He's had plenty of moments since then too.

But he's not been consistent enough for his undoubted ridiculous salary. And tbh this wouldn't have bothered me too much. But his effort level yesterday was pathetic. And based on that, I'm not bothered about this news all.

didn't quite realise how poorly supported sc***horpe are.

less than 3.5k for their last home game of 2018.  they took less than 250 to peterborough.

probably the wrong thread but how have they managed to survive in L1 (very successfully) to date?

The question is , will we be allowed to sign anyone of any quality by the chairman.
Somehow I doubt it .
Depressing times .


Lets hope it is replacement Keeper!
