What a shock!
Gutted but at least we had a week to process it.

A week to process it but this hits hard…

They’re once in a generation moments buh. I have him as the most significant leader for us since Matty and then Jim. We’ve been barren since. Chambo deserves a lot more credit than he gets, but unfortunately he’s associated with crap managers and crap teams. Before that we’re going back over 30 years to Wark’s final spell. |  |

Really disappointing. The stats say that he was our best midfielder last season, despite Cajuste getting so very much praise from fans. I appreciate our midfield was not up to it in the Premier League, but I'm convinced he's still up to it in the Championship. Ashley Young is a unique specimen, but Morsy is fully 6 years younger.
It's disappointing to lose a legend, it's disappointing not to get a fee for him, when there's no suggestion that Kuwait SC is impoverished, and it's a little confusing when Kieran's last statement on the matter was that he wanted to keep him. We've torn up the last year of his contract without even the usual "we couldn't guarantee him first team football" type reasoning. I find it all very odd - maybe there were more machinations or fallings out behind the scenes, maybe not.
Either way, I suppose we have to just move on and remember the truly great times and performances that he gave us. Let's find us a new king but remember the old one. |
I am not sure why this reply has downvotes. We all agree he is a club legend, but however you dress it up his statement suggests he clearly wanted to stay so I think its fair to wonder why nothing was agreed. |  | | |

I suspect if I pop over to oink'n there will be a whole thread and Cambridge Canary will declare that we are falling apart...
And who the hell is chopping onions at this time in my house | | | |

Quite simply both parties could not agree on a new contract.
Morsy presumably wanted more security (after a reduction in wages post relegation) for himself and his family.
ITFC while wanting to keep Morsy, after a season that highlighted the need to strengthen the midfield pairing did not want to commit financially to a longer term.
The two sides could not agree and we are where we are. Sad but this happens in all walks of life regularly.
As Wally said, it is a mark of respect from the Club that we waived a transfer fee which will serious help the family coffers. |  | | |
