This thread to be renamed. Player stays, Shock Horror! I honestly thought everyone but Pearson would sign up. Now I'm pretty confident everyone but Pittman, Diz, MacKreth, Brown and Clay will sign up. Looking forward to mid-table mediocrity next year. Looks like another 2 years at least in this pointless league. I wish re-election had stayed.

Football is a professional game and players have to try and do what they think is best for them at the time. That might be money based or it might be family based or it might be ambition based. But we can't blame players for doing what the rest of us do and looking out for their futures. Few clubs can offer long contracts so a player must do what he can for security.

Unfortunately good atmosphere and team spirit do not pay the bills. That's reality.

In the case of Pearson for instance, he is 26 and if he doesn't move now he may feel he is stuck forever and will never know how good he could be. On the other hand he could decide again to try and move up the leagues with Grimsby. It's up to him. The fact is though that he is still a good average Conference defender and he is replaceable. The same applies to LJL. Clubs will be looking at him and he will have to decide whether to be a bench warmer in L2 or be first on the team sheet for Hurst. Another willing runner with a mediocre scoring record can always be found.

We as fans have no rights in the matter so it is down to the management and not us to build a side for the new season and rebuild the team spirit. Like it or not, last season is gone and finished. There were no stars in the side and, with the possible exception of Magnay, nobody who we could say cannot be replaced by someone of more ability and a good attitude. Hurst's teams will always be built on organisation and being hard to beat and he will be looking for players on that basis.

It's not in tune with the desires of all of us to see the spirit of Wembley continue into August but that's life. We move on. The bottom line is that the side did not get promotion and was therefore not good enough. Hurst's job is to make a new one that is, with or without players who were part of the side that wasn't.

For what it's worth, my opinion is that we should stop worrying about players leaving and think more about who is coming in.

Are you like 12?

if you worked for a company in an average town for an average wage would you stay when a club is offering you a bigger wage and a 'nicer' place to live? get a grip.


Agree with this , but not sure that Barnsley is a nicer place to live than Gy/Clee.

There's some great places to live within 20 mile of Barnsley - if that's where he's going. I've heard he's going somewhere else!
