Guinan: "Desperately Unhappy"

Former Bulls striker Steve Guinan has admitted that he is "desperately unhappy" with the contract offer made by Cheltenham.

Having admitted earlier in the week that he wanted a two year deal, he told the Gloucestershire Echo that his future now lies away from Whaddon Road:

"I am desperately unhappy with the offer, especially after scoring the winner in the play-off semi-final and final. It is very frustrating and I am pretty certain that I will be going elsewhere.

"I can understand the club giving a one-year deal with an option to older players like Jerry Gill, but I am only 30. John Finnigan is the same age as me and he has been given a two-year deal, but it seems the rules are different for me. I have not asked for extra money, and I did not think a two-year deal would be a problem."

Guinan is currently doing a UEFA A Licence coaching course, while manager John Ward is on holiday, and will take his time before making a move:

"I would prefer to stay in the League, and I think I will. They are the offers I am favouring, but some Conference clubs have offered me double the money I am on now. I am a bit disappointed in the situation at the moment, but come next month, I will have a new club somewhere."
