Today I have released, Dubi Ogbonna, Rogan McGeorge and Deakan Napier.  It is purely a managerial decision that myself and Chris Dear have come to.

Rogan, whilst a quality footballer, doesn't work hard enough for the team and unfortunately, due to the form of Adam Millson and Steve Reid, opportunities in his favoured central position were limited.  He was becoming increasingly unhappy, so I have decided to release him so he can seek regular football.

Deakan, in my opinion, started well, but failed to live up to early expectations and although, like Rogan, he's a great player, unfortunately it's time for change.

Dubi is a very talented footballer who could no doubt play higher if he applied himself better.  He's a colourful character, but very individual and I've decided that it's time for us to go our separate ways.

Another factor in myself and Chris' decision was that all three lads haven't attended training when required.  They have only turned up to one of the last four sessions, which is unacceptable.

The decision to release these players has been made for the unity of the squad and as usual I have been totally honest and will continue to do my best for Wisbech Town Football Club.  Although this may have come as a shock I believe it was the right and only decision that could be made.  Please trust me on this.

I will inform you of additions to our squad in due course.

Not an easy job managing a large squad who all want to play. Got to wish the lads good luck in the future and thanks to Rogan. Dubi should you ever become a team player you will go far.

As for Apps and Dearo. Keep it up, keep the faith.

Managers are paid to manage...They have to take tough decisions....and full marks to Apps for stating his reasons.......The other side of the coin is that managers are judged on results....so we will have to see who he brings in and how quickly we shoot up the league table.....

Disappointed for Rogan as he's a quality player and can't agree about any lack of effort.  Dubi had begun to lose the fans a while back and apparently really blew it at Gornal. Deakan is another highly talented player...but it was maybe the wrong club...wrong time and system of play for him. Good luck to all 3 .....

if it had been the chairmans decision, dubi would never of come!! Twiter also said i'm in line for a big payout from dr whats is name.

How about, now hold on chaps..............rather going on twitter,post on a fans forum where your paying public will read it!.

Fair play Steve, atleast you put what you had to say to us fans............

Edit~ and obviously Chris, as i have the pleasure of knowing our "second in comand" i think the words that may have been used in the dressing room were rather more ..........................between me and Debbie cant think of the right words to describe what he would have said!!

Rogan was a reasonable player but he was not a ream player and had a few problems when not selected I think you could not put him in the same class has Millson.

My Opinion
