philiprfc 1,799 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 You can't speak enough about his character, but I'll be honest, I'm amazed he's got this move. Wish him nothing but the best though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewaj3 1,444 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Lots of debate about a testamonial for Wallace, I for one was against that. He's not been here ten years He's not the only player to stay loyal - jig, little etc gave their all too. However, it's an absolute embarrassment and disgrace from the club not to acknowledge him leaving. I'm ashamed that the egos from boardroom down to management couldn't recognise what he's given this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely mental move in all honesty, Gerrard looked st him in our development squad and by the posters in here that go to these games he was woeful, no chance of playing in a side that’s crying out for a left back yet get a move to a top end of the championship on no doubt a better wage than he was on here ha ha. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 3,928 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Good luck to him at QPR. Stayed loyal to the club and the fans when many didn't. I don't know if his body is still the same after going through the leagues with us. If he can get fit there's no doubt he can contribute to them.

ElBufalo20 7,822 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Clearly the issue was between Wallace and King the way he’s been allowed to leave without a hint of thanks from anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben10 2,194 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well done Lee. One of our own and I'll never forget the memories. You were captain in one of my favourite old firms and you deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a different opinion on Lee Wallace Loyalty to me means nothing if that loyalty produces nothing of note in the long term. That’s just my opinion it may be unpopular but legends lift trophies.

We agree on a lot F&F but not on Lee Wallace yes, silverware, cups, leagues and a true winning mentality that brings success. Not hanging around our club for a season or two longer than need be. We could have freed up his wage if only he was desperate to leave (which he wasn’t). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually not sure they did much for jig, pretty sure they announced he was leaving. I remember little leaving, there was lots released on the official site. You can't think letting wallace leave from the club without a whisper is acceptable? It's a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to stay to try get back in to the team then why shouldn’t he? Also, the staying too long argument, McCoist not a legend then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,954 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Think some people forget that in 2012 Wallace was a highly rated player who had just had a good season off the back of a 1.5m move the year before and was getting international recognition. He was a good player who was ruined by playing against and with shite for 3/4 seasons. He could have easily got a low end Premier League/high end Championship team. Legend.
