Boston were playing a friendly against Grimsby.Perhaps he's getting in as much management experience as possible.Best of luck to him.
Seems such a waste if he is giving up playing after all. Surely there was a place for him here in that case.
Looking at it yesterday we could still do with him the back four! His experience and aerial ability sadly missed right now.
Good luck to Andy in his new role. So by refusing to take a loan at Boston and mutual agreeing his termination as worked out for him.

Poor that from butler We pay up his contract, which ate into the budget, so he could continue playing . Now he's gone to Peterborough as a coach.

And what do you think we'd have done if Butler had got a coaching offer instead of a playing one whilst contracted here?Andy Butler has done nothing wrong in this whole situation, not even close.
Hi Redandwhite you can give your opinion which is similar to mine on this case but it comes across has aggressive when really there’s no need for that and goes against what your writing.Just a thought not a dig.

I guess it's my writing style, and because I type quickly when I'm thinking . Some on here do seem intent on attacking any opinion that doesn't paint the club in a good light though . It's exhausting reading some of the happy clappy tripe on here

Non of which he could have done if we didn't pay him up . He owes rovers alot .

He has twice been shown the door by the club after years of excellent service as a player, and after stepping in as manager last season in trying circumstances. He's made over 200 appearances, been part of a promotion and a key figure on and off the pitch for years.He loves Rovers, his hometown club, and has given his all for us, yet because things didn't go well in his first senior men's coaching role it seems fans have just decided none of that matters anymore.He isn't here anymore as a direct consequence of his brief managerial tenure not going well, and because our new manager either didn't fancy him or simply didn't see him as a big part of his plans, so he's had to leave.He didn't hold Rovers up for money or ask for anything other than the opportunity to continue his career elsewhere once it became clear he wasn't wanted here.He owes Rovers? Absolutely not in a million years.

Absolutely not in a million years.If he didn’t ask for anything other than the opportunity to continue his career elsewhere then why did we have to pay him up? I agree with the gist of your post that he owes Rovers nothing but I’m not sure we owe him anything either. The manager role didn’t work out but he made it quite clear that he still had his eye on the manager role even after his disastrous tenure - you can’t blame Wellens for not wanting him around with that in mind, that’s just life unfortunately.
