    Interesting he’s got the number 1 as his squad number 
    It was available because Etheridge left and smithies wears 12. Wouldn’t read too much into it. Smithies will be no.1 until injured or out of form.

    Fair enough.
    Makes sense.

    I don’t think Dills has ever refused to play. He just didn’t want to sign a new contract. 
    More than that, Large. Dills publicly said he was a 'Championship player' - and wasn't prepared to play back in League One. 

    I mean, Doughty (for example) had only a year left on his contract and hasn't signed the new contract offered months ago - but was prepared to play in League One.

    That's the difference.


    Oggy. I've not seen him publicly say that at all. Where did you see this?
    It was back in the summer, Large - soon after we were relegated/August, probably. Can't remember exactly when, might have been a Bowyer quote/interview, but it stuck on my mind. It said Dills wasn't prepared to play in League One, wouldn't sign a new contract and wanted to leave.

    That reads to me like if we hadn't been relegated there would never have been a problem, and he would've extended his contract, whatever. Relegation was the issue.


    Can't provide a link I'm afraid. And haven't time got to research it right now. 
    But I've only said in good faith what I believe I remember.




    I don’t think that’s what was said - it was more he didn’t want to sign a new deal and would leave when he had the opportunity (either because the club had accepted an offer or his contract ran out) rather than refusing to play for us.

    This is what Bowyer said in August:

    https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/exclusive-dillon-phillips-wont-be-first-choice-charlton-goalkeeper-as-lee-bowyer-explains-tough-stance/
    Thank you, @se9addick that's helpful.

    It seems then, rather than Phillips saying things direct, the story is sourced from Bowyer quoting what Phillips' agent has told him.
    And Bowyer's own stance over the situation.

    Did we accepted it was the best we were going to get though

    Cant have seen much more being offered in January with his contract so close to expiring so we either took a poultry offer or nothing at all

    It's hard to get a good price when
    a) the player only has one year on his contract
    b) the club have dropped him and basically begged him to go. That's an invitation to other clubs to offer peanuts

    Didn't Boro offer around 800k a few weeks back or was that just paper talk ?

    probably £100k up front and £400k when they get into Europe and the other £300k when he's England No 1 and plays in a WC

    Mmmh, I think these numbers are way too high. My guess is around 100k.

    Maybe Malcom Partridge to return.

    Very fair interview here from Dillon.

    And this tells the full story:

    “Everyone knows that the manager made it clear recently that they could only offer a certain amount a week now with the [League One] wage cap. Once the season started Bows made it clear I wasn’t really in his plans and I had to go. There is no coming back from that really.

    “Both parties understood it was time for me to move on. The club was under an embargo and then a wage cap. There was never an offer really put to me [after February] because both parties understood it was time for me to move on. It wasn’t so much a case of me not signing – more what was right.

    “The club wanted me out, they wanted me out to bring someone else in [using his salary to add to their squad]."

    It's a pity really. Can't blame him for not signing in February and screwed then by the salary cap and the player quota. He'd have probably stayed this season if there was no cap.

    Apart from the bit where he thanks Lee Bowyer
    But apart from establishing him as our No 1 what did Lee Bowyer ever do for Dillon Phillips?
