However this season is suddenly turning into a nightmare for Oliver Glasner’s side, with their shock exit in the Third Round of the FA Cup to lowly Macclesfield, and the current exodus of club favourites. The announcement by Phoenix’s representatives of his desire to leave has devastated fans, with one season ticket holder, Simon, writing this on his Facebook page – “Phoenix has been a mainstay for this club ever since he replaced Kayla, and had been soaring to even greater heights, and we had high hopes for him, so to hear this now after everything we have been through is massively disappointing. I can’t see why he would want to leave – he’s at the top of the pecking list here, he has the run of the place and no one is going to knock him off his perch. And even more disappointing is the news that Brighton are interested.”
