I hate to be apart of the rumour mill but he certainly won’t be playing for us again.
And it, like the brandon Williams situation being something known about, is not something needed to be spoken about. So I understand the club keeping quiet.
Just rest assured he won’t be playing for us again. |
Gosh. 3 in a year - BW, BG, AM. Need to improve our due diligence me thinks, especially considering how quickly we bombed Norwood out of the club. | |

He can be present at the match and still have the issue he's got.
Unfortunately, it all transpired in the week after the Spurs game. Club will not want too much egg on face re. due diligence checks with Williams and now Godfrey. |
So we can rule out piles then, as he wouldn’t be able to sit through 90 minutes |  |

1 start for Atalanta after an £10m move kinda gives you warning signs before he signed.
Suppose the club were desperate at that time for a RB. |  |

Leave me out of it, I had nothing to do with it. And I'm SBRL so never sit, as we all stand 90min+ |  | | |

...nobody has asked.
You'd think one of the press pack would have noticed that a high profile January loanee has apparently disappeared of the face of the earth, and asked why.
Makes you think. |
This is of course part of a much bigger problem. ‘In the old days’ a lot of people paid money to buy a newspaper, and nowadays most people don’t; advertising revenue only goes so far. So there is no money in journalism, and it’s simply not worth a journalist’s while to ruffle any feathers. I remember my local paper (in Sweden) writing big exposés of which bars etc were money laundering schemes for criminal gangs, and the journalists were perhaps risking life and limb. Nowadays you just don’t see much of that. I wonder if there is any football club in England that has a paper so strong that it can afford to be more than a mouthpiece for the club. Maybe something like the Yorkshire Post was the last one, or a rival paper that knew the facts and didn’t care that it wasn’t invited to press conferences. |  | | |

Even if nothing was happening off the pitch, there would have to be quite the injury list for him to play again after the way his has performed on the the pitch |  |

Don't worry, I'm sure the Chairman will be holding him to account.

Exactly, he was signed as short term cover for the RB position & most people applauded the move at the time. He's clearly had some issues, but if he had been fully fit & played regularly, I doubt he'd have made much difference. |  |

I think given how much the Club crowed about how wonderful they are at scrutinising players and only bringing the right sort of characters in, they have set themselves up for this kind of fall, and I'm not certain that they really deserve to limit the amount of egg that is visible on the face. | | | |

Bit of a different degree of scrutiny required for a £20m permanent signing than a short term loan. There is probably more of a case for criticising the season long loan signing of Phillips, who has disappointed. | |

I seem to recall Bristol and Watford fans pointing out that he has significant previous for his control of the media. |  |

Ok? I’ve not said he’s not back at the club and back at the training ground.
He won’t be playing actual matches though |  |

Doesn't get asked, or even mentioned by any of the usual media outlets.
You can't blame Phil and the EADT etc., for knowing who butters their bread, but I wish (as I think is reasonable to assume) the club didn't effectively issue D-notices on anything that might not be 100% positive, or cause questions (on, say, recruitment) to be asked. [Post edited 6 Apr 21:19]

Club's not asked me not to say anything re Godfrey, don't recall anything along those lines with Williams either, and his situation was asked about a lot, although there were obviously wider issues with him which made the situation complicated. Am told some of the rumours circulating re Godfrey aren't true. |  | | |

So you’ll be putting quedtions RE ben G, to the club at the next press conference then? | |

I have. Think the lack of press conference questioning has been as him being dropped and not in the squad came as no surprise. | | | |

Shocking news - forum and social media rumours aren't reliable 
Thanks for the post Phil - it will hopeful help quell some of the speculation. | | | |

True story... Was raging at the reporting of Downes in January and claimed they weren't true (def were). Was worried it would disrupt players already in the door. Threatened to discredit the stories in TownTV interviews etc. | | | |

It seems we mistakenly recruited Private Godfrey, but he’s now gone back to the Home Guard patrolling a large village green in deepest darkest East Anglia. |
I wondered who that was. |  |

My god it's outrageous. How dare Ashton try to protect the club/players against negative stories or stories that could disrupt. | |
