I expect Olly knows what he’s doing.......and spoken to the players released. He’s not daft and knows how to manage people. I would think some may still be on his list to re-sign if available and when money allows.
He will also be able to pick from a bigger pool with increased availability at a much reduced cost.
Just need to keep the bloody day trippers off Cleethorpes beach now...!

Really, really disappointed with Hess leaving. Best and most consistent player for us the last couple of seasons. He`s guaranteed to find a club at least at our level and maybe even in League 1. Let`s hope for the latter as he would probably make it difficult for us as an opponent in the same league.
But.... in Holloway we trust...

I suspect as he played down south before coming here he was of our better paid players which most of us would assume is the major driver behind his release but agree with others that he has been our most consistent performer over his time with the club.

I also wonder, given their ages, how fit and able Green and Hanson will be if we don’t play for six months or more? Rest is one thing but game time is much needed at their time of career.

So basically everyone out of contract without an option has been released.



Seems to be the way things are going. Wouldn't surprise me if we could be about to see substantially more youth players offered contracts than usual across the lower leagues.

I’m not disappointed with who was released but I’m very disappointed with green staying. Guess they not costing anything on furlough tho.

Would have probably been expensive to pay Green off. If, and it’s a big if, we get an idea of when the club can start getting revenue in again and it’s sooner rather than later, then there’s one or two who I suspect we’ll see again.

Disapointed to see Hess leave, but I suspect in the coming months there maybe some very good players become available at considerably lower wages than last year.  Every club in the country is going to have to cut its costs which may include smaller squads.  Can also see Prem & Championship clubs wanting to send more squad players out on long term loans to cut costs.

Hess wants a move down south. Not bothered about the rest to be honest. Good luck to them all though.

It's a real shame that Hess' last action in a Town shirt was that assault in the Stevenage game. I will take some solace if today also happens to be the day they are removed from the League Two toilet bowl like the nasty little shít stain they are...

This is what I assumed. Not for one minute did I expect Hess to stay, I’d imagine he wanted to leave. Same with Davis, he only stayed because we took up his option and he had no choice.

I hope we keep Wright and Vernam.

And I’d actually be surprised if Öhman comes back, I’d doubt he wants to be here.
