I think we'll look to keep.

McKeown
Battersby (and loan out for season)
Hewitt
Clifton
Spokes
Wright
John-Lewis
Jackson jr.

Contracts have been offered to the following 2nd year YTs...

Goundry
Khouri
Adlard

The following contracted players should be offloaded...

Waterfall
Rose
Williams
Scannell
Gibson

Pollock - if we have an option for another year we should take it and look to flog him with a good sell-on clause.

The rest can leave. Maybe harsh on the Hendrie, Habergham & Coke, but we need to be attracting much better quality players.

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.



Isn't that why the new owners have brought in Mark Palmer?

that was a question that never got asked on the podcast Bax.
they certainly have only mentioned in Palmer in relation to footballing matters & 'helping Paul'. i took it that he was doing a root and branch review/audit of everything on the playing side, but i'd be intrigued to know the answer

Someone told me that Hendrie is definitely going as he doesn't like PH.

Could  be true, could be bullsh1t, but it's that time of year folks, when rumours start doing the rounds.

To be perfectly honest, there is not any one player in that squad who I would be overly bothered about losing. A few are definitely worth a contract, but if they don't want to be here, or think they can "better" themselves, then cheerio!

Like Golly, I think there may be only 5 or 6 that escape the cull. Fewer if some of them decide they don't want to be in non league.

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.

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


I would be wary of that statement, the budget is bound to go up based on the half priced covid clause approach the club financed last season.
The owners have said the budget will be at the upper end of the division, that's all.

No, they definitely (100%) said that next season's budget in the NL will be higher than this season's budget.

I agree with the highlighted bit. Other than McKeown, who'd I be disappointed to see leave given he'll probably be the best keeper in that league again next season, I won't be losing any sleep over any of them. We have no chance of keeping Matete for example. Obviously I'd like to keep Harry, Coke, Menayese and Hewitt but none of them are by any means irreplacable.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Re: Hendrie

Not looked the same player has he? Worth remembering his best friend was killed in January last year. Hardly surprising he's struggle for consistency. He's only human.
