I say good luck to him too. Just pointing out that league 1 may be his level that he excells.

We’ve had players like him over the years and they are never appreciated by our fans.

He was our best player last year so it says a lot about the rest of our squad if League One is his level.

Some players find their level and are unable to step up.
Hopefully our younger players in particular can step up under BBM.

Agree but I don't understand why so many people say this about Wintle. He had made 150 Championship appearances in the 4 years prior to last year. Apparently he shone under another manager whilst on loan at Blackpool (Championship) and under BBM he showed us what he can do. There must be some other issue

Name 5 stand-out performances for us in the championship. I can't remember 1. He wasn't good (for us) at this level. I had fears for him in L1, but he was good - but also ran over alot in some of the more physical games.
If he was as good as most think, then on a free-transfer, there'd be a que of championship clubs lining up for him - he wasn't linked with a single club in our division.

I thought he was ok for us in the championship -but just about - but you cant argue with 150 appearances in 4 years he must have been doing something ok at that level. I certainly wasn't expecting him to perform the way he did last year, but he was very good and was good for Blackpool. BBM has never seen him play in the championship as far as I am aware - but neither has he seen any of the others. And he doesn't get injured. I just find it strange that one of the mainstays and reliable players from last year who clearly thrived under BBM system was not kept on. There has to be more to it.

But the situation with those players is completely different.
Ng, Osho, Willock, Chambers etc have shown they can be good players in the Championship before - they have excelled in that league, whereas Wintle has just coped in that league.
Then you have Lawlor, Bagan, Joel, Rubin, Robertson and all the younger players - they have plenty of potential of improving. That is not the case with Wintle.
People saying there's something else going on. I doubt it. I think the manager has just decided that he wants a better player in that position for him to take the club where he wants to.
