Players to keep

Quoted from GollyGTFC

I think some people are over estimating how many players Hurst will keep.

I'd say 6 or 7 max of the current squad will be retained.

The budget is going up. We can afford to shop at Waitrose instead of Netto this summer.

I hope your right golly about 6/7 but in that 6/7 I can see some going anyway, we really need a stronger squad to compete

I would imagine the likes of Hewitt, Pollock,  Menayesse and Hendrie would have had their agents putting them in front of EFL clubs for a while. I’d not expect to see them in a Town shirt again but I would imagine we’ll offer them terms just in case.

I would like to see Clifton and Coke offered deals but anyone else out of contract other than the ones mentioned above can go.

I’d also try and off load Willians, Scannell and Rose, but I doubt they’ll be any takers.

What I’d be certain about is that Hurst will have known who he wants to bring in for a bit, let’s hope he can secure the majority of his targets.

I would not be surprised if he brought in a couple of the Shrewsbury team that got to the L1 play offs. That is the caliber we need. Seasoned pro's with L1 experience.

Hopefully not!  

have you listened to the pre match interview?
very, very telling little snippet when PH said that he wants to change players perceptions of the football club as a whole, so they are more open to and excited to join us

which means that before (presumably due to Fenty and his/our reputation) they had bad perceptions of the club, they weren't very willing to join and weren't excited about doing so

Yes, I am sure the horror stories about how players have been treated have got round. The new owners can start with a clean slate. I am sure we will see far better players arriving this summer despite our NL status.  

McKeown, Hendrie, Hewitt, Pollock, Habergham, Coke, Clifton, Wright, Khouri, John-Lewis

Would obviously keep Menayese and Matete that's not likely so those would be something to build on.

Would obviously keep Menayese and Matete that's not likely so those 9 would be something to build on.

Maybe Spokes and Jackson Jnr could be retained to see if we can develop them with the right coaching?

I wonder who will be in charge of players’ contracts? It seemed like Fenty decided that but the impression I have now from the new owners is that Hurst will handle all aspects of transfers.
