This can’t be true!\\I’ve stated on this forum that our chairman lacked ambition, but to allow Ben Jones to leave and to Harrogate who we play on saturday.\That means Ben Jones surely can’t be playing for us in the cup game.\\This can’t be true. Not even Worthington would allow this to happen.\This is a real kick in the teeth for Albion fans if true.\\Perhaps Debbie could comment. [smiley=ranting.gif]\\ ---

As I type at this moment - Witton have not been asked by any other player for their release - nor are we releasing anyone at our request.\\GE\ ---

Debbie, what do you know about this saga? you said it yourself in your own words "anyone would think you want him to leave" i think its you who wants him to leave. have the board and the chairman had a fall out with Ben? why are there no photos of ben on the website? why isnt his name even mentioned? it looks like he was only in to do a quick job so that the club can profit off his release and keep the money for themselves. with the pay dispute going on i would’nt rule it out. we need answers! ---

well the club have to do what they can to keep Ben at the club, a player of his calibre desreves better than to be stabbed in the back. look how much he has done for us in the short while he has been here ---

Licoln city- what a career move. i think its upt o the clubs persuasive powers and their trust in Ben, they need to show him they are backing him, or else…\ ---

What a load of rubbish. There are photos of Ben on the site, along with the new photos of the rest of the squad.\\I want him to leave? Do you have any idea?\\The club do not want him to leave - if he does leave it is his own choice. No-one has fallen out with him at all.\\Quit making up stuff just to cause trouble. ---

I have today received an email from Jim Vince asking me to state that he has spoken to Ben Jones and in his words he is a "Witton Albion player".\\Hopefully this will put an end to the speculation.\\See you all at Harrogate! ---

where are the photos? i dont see any. his name isnt even mentioned. Debbie, my love with all due respect i think he is either being forced out or being shown a lack of support\ ---

neil, i to know a personal associate who describes Ben jones as being extremely disappointed in the way this situation has been handled. i dont think the speculation can be ended unless the chairman issues a public statement alongside Ben jones\ ---

also, i would like to add a further comment- Lincoln City seem interested in Ben, what can we as a club do to prevent this move? League 2 football is tempting aswell as being a huge career move. i come to know Ben has a family and wants to settle down, witton cant support that but the prospect of joining and playing for Licoln City can. to support your family you need to be financially stable, playing for witton…well it speaks for itself, are the club doing enough??\\Debbie sweetie, what would you do? lets keep it civilised please ---
