Be nice for fans to show appreciation for what he brought to 2016 team. However you judge him surely his short SL stay can be called a successful one


not sure anyone on here knows whether the club or Frank instigated the move.
I always said the club needed a half back and if the right player became available they would find a way to sign him, so its my opinion that Frank was told he was free to go if he could find a club back in Australia.

Thought I hadnt missed it....

A bit strange considering , the rapport he had with the fans, and judging by his social
media posts, video's etc, he clearly enjoyed the fans support.

But since his move was announced, there has been silence from Pritchard regarding his stay
here...

Yes very quiet from frank which is unusual from him as he likes his social media, I had access to him via emails but as of yet he hasn't replied to my email wishing him success in his new journey makes you wonder what went on behind the scenes

Don't think they parted on best of terms.

By end of season not everyone at club was satisfied with Frank's contribution.

Some murmurings among players that not really pulling his weight for the team.

Radford may have given some honest feedback on where Frank lay in the pecking order based on his performances.

Seems in response Frank pretty much took his bat home instead of responding to the challenge.

By that point it was probably mutual that he would go. Sounds like we may have had to pay him off to some extent.

If all this is true that Frank and the club did not part on the best of terms that is disappointing. However, if Frank has failed to acknowledge the support he got from the fans as a result of that shows a distinct lack of class.

Maybe as part of his severance package pritchard has to remain silent on the situation

I don't know any more than any body else on here, apart from a few bits of second hand information I've got. But FWIW, I don't believe it was as cut and dry as that and that a number of things weighed in.

By the end of the season it was felt by the club that Frank wasn't offering value for money, and that the money would be better spent on other players.

So I expect the guy was pretty miffed, and that explains his silence on social media etc.
