“ Enough is enough “

“ Enough is enough “

I believe the CCFC Committee should come to some sort of agreement with both Vassell and Tomlin and pay them up, not all of course, but three to four years of injury, sick, not fit, injury ill, not fit.

There is is only so much you can take from these pair.

Now one is supposedly ill and the other needs to get fit again, you could not make it.

They are not a good influence and it’s only ever negativity we hear.


Even if they played well now for say 15-20 games this season, Our club has had the piss taken out of it for nearly four years and £millions upon £millions wasted.
It will never be worth it, of course they will shine at some point this season as they will want a new contract or a new club.

The club knew their injury records and offered them their current contracts. Why would they accept anything less than what they are contracted to? Particularly during a time when injury prone players will struggle to find clubs.

I do agree the Committee fucked up big time, and yes it would be hard to get rid, but just so fed up of hearing a broken record about the same two, then every now again how it’s now going to be brilliant with them back year after year.

I know they tried to get rid Tomlin this summer.

Totally agree.

They have nobody to blame but themselves.

Re: “ Enough is enough “

Didn’t see many people complaining 18 months ago when Tomlin was given a new contract after he virtually got us into the play offs single handed

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Have to agree with you Annis. The pair of them are never ending and i think they are in the comfort zone of knowing that the money is coming their way if they play or not ! Time to end the contracts [ if possible ] !!!

How do you propose the club end their contracts? You said it yourself, money is coming their way whether they play or not so why would they accept their contacts being paid up for less than 100%?

The worrying thing is MM is counting them in his squad numbers? Doesn't he know they'll only play dozen games between them if lucky! :?

I'm sure the club would love to get them off their books. Probably costing us the best part of 40k a week. Whatever peoples opinion of them though, we could really do with them both this season.

Tomlin shined for a new contract .

Of course we want every player to do well and it can only help us.

But even you with those comments are surely fed up of him 4 yrs later???

And he has done this at 6 clubs in a row.


Hindsight on Tomlin it was their to see with all his previous clubs and should not have had a new contract.

Over £50,000 a week plus NI.

Our 8 youngsters are costing between them all £4,000 a week.

To a degree I agree Annis, especially with Vassell. Complete injury prone player, and it was being said at the time before we even bought him.

Tomlin?? I'm sticking my neck out and saying he's neither injured or unfit. He's too expensive to play and MM is being told not to play him.

Frankly, even a half fit Tomlin is better than most of the other players in our team.

Let's say we pay them both up. We lose two players, and most definately won't be getting replacements. If I knew we could replace, then Id support getting rid, but we need as many players, and at least one game changer in our team to make us competitive.

Fair shout Lee, I just cant stand Tomlin being at our club any longer as I just see him as years of bad news and negativity.

Vassell was simply never ever worth the risk. How Warnock was allowed by the "transfer committee" to sign him on a long term contract is beyond me.
Tomlin a little different as he is proven to be chamionship stardust though his range of "problems" appear to be more self influenced and inflicted.
Even if Vassell was fit I doubt he would be good enough.

Re: “ Enough is enough “

Sat Aug 14, 2021 9:08 am

I can’t remember Vassel playing it’s that long a go and Thomlin blows hot and cold when he has managed to play. I agree, it’s about time we let them go…..

Re: “ Enough is enough “

I think Vassell has been extremely unlucky and there is no doubt he is trying to get fit.

Tomlin on the other hand is a complete piss taker, he'll turn up with 10 games to go this season to put himself in the shop window. Sorry, lost all patience with this guy who obviously has problems outside of football. :bluebird:

he was fit for his final 6 months at brum after like many players being injured ..
passed his medical ..
and we were not the only club in for him....
good enough ?...looks like we will never know ....but was brought in as back up ..but only playing a handful of games over 4 years would have an adverse effect on any player so even if he was good enough then..ots less likely now...

i think he has been extremely unlucky but at some point {probably now } the club and player should be looking at career ending insurance..

Vassel started just 5 games in 2017/18 and 18/19 put together. He made a further 18 appearances from the bench. Scoring one, 1, goal.

23 games out of 92 does not demonstrate a great fitness record in my book. 1 in 4. Granted may be a few more when on the bench but not used.
