Player of the season for the first 3 months but tailed off dramatically. Carrying way too much weight at the end of the season, and appeared he needed full time training to keep in some sort of shape. Not too bothered about him going to be honest.
Shouldn't we have an answer from James Lawrie soon too? Fingers crossed somebody in the Conference has offered him terms too.

It's a pity as we were all delighted when Rankine signed last year and I think he was a decent player for plan B and did OK.
The problem really was he wasnt very effective at linking play and really never struck up an understanding with Reevesy and our pattern of play wasnt good enough to carve out enough chances. Most of his goals came for longer range shots and pens, few headers but we didnt get enough crosses in all season.

Thanks Michael and good luck wherever you end up, hope its not in CN  :-\

Agree on the Rankine comment

If any other Conf National team has offered JL a gig then they are in trouble - I do think he could maybe do a job for us in the North, but as someone I would have released two seasons running now, if he stays - fine, if he goes - fine also

He was reason for our hoof ball tactics!

Sorry but the reason for hoof ball tactics was down to management . Nobody else
That's one of the reasons we got relegated

Not recognising we were slipping a point closer to the trapdoor as each week passed beyond Christmas is to me what makes our situation so disappointing - it will take a very good side to win this division and plain good sides could be in it for years

Let us hope we are that exceptional team come April

A thought that Michael was a decent player and IF FIT would do well for us next season. The question is how many games would he be fit for.
Nice bloke, so all the best to him.

Disappointed that he has gone tbh.

I hope he doesn't come back to haunt us in some competition or other.

On his day he was unplayable but, just like Kyle Perry the ball was played up in the air to him far too much. A very capable player with really good feet who sadly nevr got much chance to show that and whose Alty career was IMHO sabotaged by a team mate

Are you back, Phil, and would you care to mention the player?

Disappointed to see him go - people seem to forget he worked his socks off at the start of the season, and clearly wasn't fit towards the end of it.

Good luck to him.

No


If you had no intention of naming the player you feel was responsible for having "sabotaged" Rankine's Alty career, then why bother mentioning it at all? It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, unless your aim was really to say "hey look at me and my insider insights".

It's quite a serious accusation to make.  I'm assuming the unnamed player is still an Altrincham player.

Dear me,  why woild you
