The waiting game

Any of the current players go to a football league club then I can't blame them as they want to play there and possibly above.If they goto another conference team then it's about money and we don't want those types of players.

Sounds a lot that team spirit played a part in last season and I'm hoping that they put that into their thoughts like we would when choosing another job if you're happy there with mates.

I would take a guess that Magnay,Toto,Pearson, and LJL have league interest but we need to stick together and not let all the positive noises through the fans and the trust come to nothing.We get behind the club and the team!

Anyone else worried Hurst might go?

Is this thread for real ?! They should be given a deadline?!? They've not even had 7 days since the wembley heartbreak!

All in good time. Not even a week has passed since the play off final. Some people are going to have to get a grip if this is the kind of thread that will prevail for the next 3 months! Book a holiday, go on a picnic, a bike ride, a BBQ or summat.

Well that's all very well but the sooner we know the sooner we can plan ahead, early bird gets the worm and all that, I would expect that the players concerned will have signed or at least hinted that they will within the next two weeks

Oh well, if that's your expectation then I hope the club delivers that for you.

Quoted from Meza

I think toto will sign for Tranmere i just have this feeling he hss been based from that area.

I think the rest will sign.

Didnt Brabin manage him and Brown at Southport as well? Might not actually be a bad shout

I don't think any of the 12 will go to another Conference club unless it is for family or financial reasons. They have the best chance of success here. If however any are offered contracts by league clubs then it will be difficult to hang on to them which is fair enough, but will they be offered regular first team action? That might be a factor.

Quoted from Meza

Just a gut feeling thats all hopefully they aren't interested.

I think they are skint, doubt they could afford to match our players wages.

Quoted from Lumpsleftbreast

Anyone else worried Hurst might go?

No, I don't think he will get any offers from League clubs and he has already said he is 100% up for the challenge again so he will be here next season.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle

Bad enough for us but it must be more frustrating for Hurst and Fenty. Is their a dead line for players to sign up? Some people will probably hold off buying a season ticket until they know what the team is likely to be.

Even if we don't sign some of the players from last season then PH will have replacements lined up who  he believes to be at least potentially as good in each position. Hopefully the fact the we came so close last season will be a big incentive to players as well as to fans.We've had quite different squads each time we have reached the play-offs, it's a fact of life at this level that players move on a lot.

Quoted from chaos33

As for 'holding off buying a season ticket until they know what the team is likely to be' ?? Really?

You want the team sorted now so we don't put people off? Let's get real.

Every year of disappointment I say, "that's it, no more season tickets for me".
And every year I'm there on the first day of sales to get my season ticket.
Call me crazy or daft, but I just can't help it. That's what becomes of being a lifelong supporter of the Mariners.
Bring it on.

Am I right in thinking that non-league contracts end/start on 1 June? If that's the case, then presumably we should see offers start to be accepted this week?
