No-one can accuse PH of being cautious, that is for sure.  He is making quite a bold statement by releasing so many and backing himself to bring in around 10 decent players.  He clearly isn't seeing his goal next season as survival as I'm pretty sure we could have survived with the squad we had.

Quoted from GrimRob
Glad to see we're starting from a small core of players. It's a big step up, thought PH might keep a few more of "his" players to be honest. It's refreshing to see he has been ruthless. I've a feeling we may regret letting Clay go in a few years, on the other hand we don't know who he is talking to.


I dont think so, he had some attributes but lacked any pace and was never great or even average on the ball. He wont get any quicker with age and doubt he will develop any great ball skills either.  A good disruptor, disciplined but we need to aim higher than that with any replacement.
Thanks for your efforts Craig.

I think it'll be a slow start for us next season now with so many players going , a settled team might have just done enough for us to get in the play offs

Pity about Nolan, best central midfielder we have had at the club since we were relegated, hope the club had tried to tie him down a couple of months ago but I doubt it, and remember he may have offered terms to Podge and co but does not mean they will sign, could be down to a core of about 5/6 experienced professionals by mid June, that means signing a whole new team.

Its hard to see a few of them go, well all of them in fact, as they all played a part in this season no matter how much stick some have taken (ie Monkhouse) or how little some of them have played on match day (ie Henderson and Jennings).

But at the end of the day I spoke the other day about taking the sentiment out of decisions and I'm happy that's what PH has done. We have to ensure that worst case scenario next season is us still being a Football League side, going back down is unthinkable.

UTM and thanks for your contribution lads.

I'm ok with all of that (whilst obviously disappointed to lose Nolan).

I would've possibly kept Robertson and East as back-up players. But in a way it's a positive move to release them because Hurst is obviously looking for players of a higher standard than them - and that can only be good for GTFC.

The next step is waiting to see if Podge stays and I also think Toto may have offers elsewhere too (which he may take and I wouldn't necessarily blame him as he takes some unnecessary stick).

A brutal but mostly expected list.

I can see that Hurst and Fenty want to be successful now we're back up in the league and have been very selective and retained those who could give them progress further up the League table next season.

Being one step higher gives Hurst a chance to use his contacts to bring in players that may not have chosen to drop down to National League level.

Yet again, we will probably throw up loads of names in hope of who we would like to see here as fans, and then be surprised by who actually arrives here.

Let the speculation begin in earnest.

Would have liked to have seen Clay stay, but other than that it looks pretty spot on for me.
