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


He will be costing whatever his wages are above and beyond the 600 quid a week max employees on furlough get. Which is no doubt quite considerable. Playing contracts have to be honoured in full by foot all teams as part of being in the EFL.

I wonder if that will change fuether down the line. It's the nuclear option I guess if the no crowds thing continues and PFA doesn't come to an arrangemnt on player wages for existing contracts.

Shame about Hess but he has shone in what has been an average and o. Some days poor team and we need goals from mid field. Clearly IH thinks he can bring in better.

The reality is that unless we get clarity on whether or not we can play in front of supporters next season I’m not sure how you can offer a new recruit a deal?

Looking at the wages of the, as of yesterday, current players via the medium of Football Manager, which yes I know it is just a game but a lot of research goes into the facts and figures for each team, Whitehouse and Hess were 2 of the highest earners at the club.

So whichever way you look at the situation with Whitehouse, either being the highest earner, or having a potential ban hanging over him, I can see no other option for Ollie to release him.

Hess was a players player but he deserves to play at a higher level. He will be missed.

It would be interesting to see how much wage bill has been cut and how much will be made available for a few choice new faces.

Let's just hope Ollie has an influx of good players asking him if they can play for him for smaller wages.

Whilst Hessenthaler was a neat and tidy steady Eddie player, I don’t think he offers enough for a team challenging for promotion. He stood out in a pretty average team, but Clarke, Grandin, Benson etc were all clearly better and he couldn’t get back in the side. Could see this one coming a mile off as clearly Holloway thinks he can find better, and I think he can too.

When couldn’t he get back in the side? Injured against Stevenage he had not returned to full fitness by the time we played Sunny!!!

He was quite literally kicked out of the team by Simeon Jackson and Benson grasped the opportunity.

I wasn’t all impressed with him really . Honest player , you can’t ask any thing of his professionalism but don’t see him playing at a higher level really . Probably end up at Dover or Ebbsfleet being Kent through and through.

What's the 'potential Whitehouse ban' all about?!
