JFH announces both can leave on loan or a permanent transfer.
I had a feeling that Sharpsy wouldn't play for the club again and that looks like it is about to happen. He was immense in his time at the club and gave everything to the cause. He was a key figure in many of those 1-0 wins last season.
I couldn't help but think that age was beginning to catch up on Sharpsy this season. I also wonder whether his old fashioned centre half style wasn't to the liking of JFH. He is a no nonsense stopper and passing the ball about and being creative is not his game.
I am surprised by the Lee Bell decision. He is a decent player with a few years left in him yet.
I suspect Sharpsy will leave soon and not return whilst Bell will go out on loan, return later and still feature in the season.
Shows that JFH is a really strong character who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to make tough decisions.
If neither player pulls on the famous yellow shirt on again, thank you for everything that you did for the club chaps. You were both part of the most successful time in the history of the club.
Sharps and Bell

A bit suprised with Sharps, he i felt could have been a very useful asset when we got an injury to our centre back pairing or even fought for his place ,as he and Shane have been a very solid partnership .As for Bell i felt it was the wrong decision to offer him another contract for this season. I suspect we will get more dutch imports who may or may not improve our team ,but i will go with the manager at the moment . As for long term the jury is still out for me with Jimmy he has done very well to pick up 14pts from 7 matches ,especially against some top placed sides but i fear we will struggle to make the play offs unless he strengthens upfront .

Yes I will second that summing up my friend,both good servants to our club and yes Sharpsy is past his best.
Belly will do a good job for someone and I do think he is class.
Thanks to both of them and in my opinion I don't think we will see any of them in an Albion shirt again.
