Just had a look at Facebook to find out that Jimmy Spencer has terminated his contract.

http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/article/jimmy-spencers-contract-mutually-terminated-2926464.aspx

Thoughts? :s

I'm sure this decision will be widely criticised, but in reality the Jimmy Spencer after his injury has never looked anywhere near the standard of the Jimmy Spencer before his injury. I presume 'termination by mutual agreement' means he has another club lined up. It will be interesting to see where he goes and how he does. He leaves some good memories, him and Sheehan were the main reasons for the Great Escape, I wish him well.
 

Good Luck to Jimmy, where ever he ends up.

I was disappointed when I heard it because I wanted him to come back and do well, but when you think about it it does make sense for both parties. Based on the little I've seen of him since his injury I agree with what you wrote. He never really impacted the game, looked like he should be starting or even really looked like scoring. Hopefully a decision has been made to beef up the squad in other areas.

What are the odds on a reunion with Derry at Cambridge?

One of the good guys is Jimmy. Best of luck to him. He's off to Cambridge and a reunion with SD. I'm 99% certain that this is the case anyway. 

How about giving us some really good news notts.......jenner sprokel bennet de silva swerts hayhurst and BRANSTON have left the building...

Jimmy hasn't been given a chance this season to prove himself. Very disappointed at this news especially as there are some rubbish players still on the books!!

everyone sayin Jimmy hasn't been his best is blind he offers 100000x more then stead offers anyday stead a target man falls over constantly doesn't win the ball zero touch.

Spencer physical big strong good in air good touch and I'm fuming at this choice why not realese other crap like Jenner sprockel etc etc.

I hope Spencer does go to Cambridge as Derry will treat him like the player he can be and I hope he comes back and puts a hatrick past us which he probaly will and will teach us a lesson.

whos now gonna move up to the bench as a striker colby bishop? not very inspiring is it .

I have to wonder is it branston saying you go and you go etc ever since day one he's had his big gob in everything and I don't like it one bit something behind scenes is rotten and sick 

I forgot how good stead is this season great air ability of a midget first touch of Enoch let's praise the new messiah  

Odds are we will bring in a U21 Arsenal striker who's 5ft and crap gaurentee it 

Feels like another stab in the back by the club. 

Gutted by this decision, he's not had a fair crack of the whip this season and I still think that he is a better player than Stead and would have created more chances for McLeod to score. Stead's past it, whereas Jimmy has a lot of years left in him, which means we will be hunting for another striker in the summer and players of his type are rare.

He cared enough last season to come back and play when he was nowhere near fit in order to try and keep us up, how many players around today would have done that?

Good luck at Cambridge (surely?) Jimmy, looking forward to seeing you make a bigger joke out of our defense than it already is in April

You are hopelessly wrong in part one of what you said.  You are the blind one if you think Jimmy Spencer has played at his best since his injury.  He has been nowhere near it.

 

As for the second part, it's really not that difficult to work out.  Spencer has obviously had offers from elsewhere and has asked to go.  The club (rightly or wrongly) agreed, hence the statement 'contract terminated by mutual consent'.  Jenner and Sprockel are poor players so won't be wanted by other clubs.  We can't just 'release' them as they and we have a contract to honour.

I'm gutted, Jimmy is a good character to have around and he's very hard working.

He knows he isn't perfect and that is what drives him on as a player. It seems certain players recieve a 'push' as if they need to be reconised by us fans, yet he always seemed to instantly connect with us and gain the support. I never felt he was a convincing goal scorer, yet his ability to hold up play and link in others always impressed me. I also agree, Moniz never gave him a chance and I know stories which I will keep private - some of which came from Jimmy himself.

I will say Ricardo Moniz appears to not like certain people, especially those who aren't as 'serious' as he is.

I'll miss the banter between us, especially being drawn on by a marker pen. LOL

Really gutted but hope he has another club lined-up.

i feel we have released the wrong person myself.

@erindoors did he want to leave? can you please help us understand it?

i do not blame anyone for the release, just disappointed because he is a decent player. opinions cant change over a small period of time surely? i think it makes our attack weaker and we have a large midfield and defence.
