[Parkfieldswolf]

Good luck John. Will always be highly thought of as one of the champ winning team.

 

[WolfLing]

Spiers’ article earlier said he wants to stay and Wolves want to keep him.

Once again proving his articles are all guess-work!!

Good luck John, thanks for a great 5 years.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Fantastic news

Great memories at cardiff away but that was about it.

Far too many mistakes over the years and Dissapointing it has taken them this long to get rid

 

[KBWWFC]

Every time I see a poppadom I'll always be reminded of the structural integrity of this man's wrists and hands.

 

[ANONYMOUS☆WOLF]

Interesting....

Is that a slap on the back or a knife in the back strange comment for loyal servant of our club orare you just having a bad day .

Actually said Lage wanted to keep him rather than the club did.

So read in to that what you will I guess…

That made me proper laugh out loud

 

[Matt]

Been a fantastic servant and a very important part of the dressing room.

Cardiff will always be one of my favourite away games. All the best John!

 

[reanswolf]

Fantastic professional and a great servant to the club.

Thank you John and best wishes for the rest of your career.

 

[Ned]

Always liked John and never really felt worried when he had to deputise every so often for the last 3/4 seasons.

A huge personality gone and a few more to follow. We need to be careful not to get rid of too many.

Interesting. Seems what lage wants and what the club is doing are different things. Good luck John

What article?

Surely we need to pile on Spears for that.
He talks with such authority like he's got a hotline to Jeff.

I don't mind his output (I'm an Athletic subscriber) but **** like that just obliterates any credibility that he's got.

 

[Loefah]

Must have been a late decision about moving him on or he would've got a send off.

 

[Monketron]

He says 'seems as though' which would suggest it wasn't entirely his decision, or am I reading too much into that.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

He says 'seems as though' which would suggest it wasn't entirely his decision, or am I reading too much into that.

That was my first thought too

 

[Wolf316]

Great servant and a great bloke best of luck for the future.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Top servant and decent man. Thank you and good luck.

He speaks well of you I understand.

To be fair, it may well indicate the GK we’ve been linked with is close to signing and they’ve decided Ruddy can move on, rather than going against Lage.

Who knows, we’ll find out soon if there’s anything in Lage going.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

I don't get what Jake Humphreys is getting at with that post not a "proper" send off?! What does that mean..... He got a game against Norwich to say his goodbyes what more could we do?

I know they are very good friends (Jake Humphreys has to say it every Wolves game he does) so Ruddy is obviously rather annoyed about something or how it has been dealt with....

 

[Sideshow Bob]

He got a game and a half? Not sure what else Jake wanted him to get? Open-top bus parade, a gold watch?

 

[Supadavewolf]

Thanks for your contribution both on and off the field, JR.

 

[TFWanderers]

A fantastic servant to the club. Arrived when the place was rocked by the news of Carl's illness. Became a big character in the dressing room.

Very concerned at the way he's worded that. "seems as though". I may be reading into it too much but it's as if he hasn't been told properly.

 

[Surrey Wolf]

Hope he gets himself a move with regular game time. Good servant, wish him well

 

[Redhillwolf]

We’ll always have Cardiff away and incredible throughout that season. Nothing but good things to say about the bloke. True professional. Best of luck for the future Big John!!

 

[Deleted member drgr12429]

Looks like he thought he was extending, then someone told him he wasn't. Thanks for the service JR.

 

[DasWolf]

Top professional, that Cardiff save is something you remember for a very long time.

Wish him all the best for the future.

Jake Humphrey is a *****.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I wish him well wherever he goes. Cardiff will never be forgotten.

Thank you John Ruddy.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Yeah I don't get Jake Humphrey's message or Ruddy's 'seems as though' which comes across as a dig.

It didn't take a genius to work out he was off when we dropped our best player this season by a mile for him to play against Norwich at home, how is that not a send-off? It's also a game that could have cost us £4-5m. Would Sa have saved Pukki's weak effort? Maybe, maybe not.

I've always felt Ruddy's seemed a bit big-headed for what he thinks he did. I don't think he was that good at all in the Championship and replacing him was certainly the right thing to do. Since then he has regularly struggled in the cup games as well.

Can't knock him as a person and a professional from what we see, so that is rightly getting praise. However, the idea that he deserves some sort of special treatment or a 'send-off' is a bit bizarre.

 

[Jack Russell]

Good luck john Ruddy. Thanks for all you have done for our great club!
