That list just shows what a huge rebuilding job it is. And also how important it will be to stay in League 2 in order to attract the players we need

I am just pleased we won today the summer will take care of its self with loads of players leaving and another dozen or so coming in.
Let's hope they are an improvement because I like most town fans I can not cope with another season struggling near the bottom.
I hope this win and clean sheet will give the players a bit of confidence for the remaining games.
Special mention to Eastwood just one goal from a pen in two games keep it up lad.

There should be money available. The following players are out of contract or going back to their parent club:
Cartwright
Smith
Maher
Glennon
Amos
Hume
Khan
Green
Clifton
Holohan
Khouri
Andrews
Wood
Ainley
Eisa
Gnahoua
Obikwu
Plus we lost Waterfall in January who I would expect was one of our highest earners and I doubt Tharme is on anywhere near as much. Furthermore, players like Pyke who have not had a look in could well be told they can leave. And which of those out of contract players would you keep? None of the defenders, maybe Clifton but not for centre mid cause he’s not up to it. Maybe Khouri and Ainley? I wouldn’t be bothered about keeping Eisa personally as he does literally nothing off the ball. So we’re losing potentially some of the higher earners and fortunately are keeping the ones you’d definitely want to keep: Tharme, Rose, Thompson, Vernam. Money will be available purely because so many players will likely be leaving. If we can’t get better value for money than this squad with the attendances we get then God help us.
Agree, to be honest I’m not too bothered about any of the signed players staying though I’d be amazed if Clifton doesn’t get offered a deal just because of his squad versatility & the local factor. None of the loanees will be back but I think Andrews & Cartwright will go on to have careers in the game. |

Not quite right. Khouri signed a 3-year deal last summer. |

I think part of Artell's remit is to develop and integrate more youngsters into the side.
Feels like Khouri has been on the verge for about 2-3 seasons now. Once again, managers haven't played him and instead signed loanees like Andrews & Wood and he's been behind Clifton, Green and Holohan and, to some degree, Hunt and Ainley.
I really hope he's a talent but to be honest I really don't know. I feel for him because at no point has he been given a run in the side. Hurst and Artell just haven't trusted him.
If we secure safety with a couple of games to go I'd love to see some of our young prospects given some game time. It used to frustrate me that Hurst would never use dead rubbers in this way (not that he had many). He played Jamie Bramwell in that 4-4 draw at Eastleigh but used just two subs that day and ignored Tomlinson, Braithwaite and Khouri, instead bringing on Raikhy and Abrahams.
I'm sure Artell's 'Crewe' style and belief in the youth system was a major part in why he was appointed.

The best run Khouri has had was 3 years ago when he played 6 straight games towards the end of the season when we went down. Odd that he’s still here but hasn’t really had a sniff since.

Nice area but one hell of a commute. |

In all honesty if we survive we are going to need another 12-15 players who match the level of tharme , thompson n rose. Clifton n green ( who has improved massively under artell imho) are fine.you could add Smith n hume to that list, but I dont think they will stay. Ainley n khouri are more than good enough, but I couldnt give a tinkers cuss about the rest of them

Just what we need. When the squad are battling to keep us in the league, let's have a thread telling them that we're not bothered if most of then leave,  |
