I’m certain it was reported on here it was coming out today...........


And therein lies the problem.

Paul Hurst said it would be this week but didn't give a day. It seems the media and the pure expectation of the amassing hype has produced a date as early as today.

With the numbers of players he has to break the news to, and then comfort them when they break down, and the sort out ongoing support..........

.......he may release the list by June

He's telling them they won't be being offered new contracts, he's not telling them a relative has died. Surely none of the players will break down in tears? Of course it's never easy to have those conversations but every player has been through it before.

It was meant as tongue in cheek not as an exact replication of how it works behind the scenes. I was trying to say it may take longer than everyone was expecting

My understanding is that P.H said he will have told the players by Tuesday and we would find out sometime after that...that doesn't mean we find out on Tuesday, could be tomorrow could be next week..what's the rush..season ticket prices and when they go on sale is more important to me.

You obviously don't do humour.

I think we’re all over expecting what this “retained list” will look like but at this stage you’ll get...

- Out of contract no new terms offered.
- Out of contract considering an offer/options.

I’d be surprised if we get....

- Complete misfit/donkey given cash to do one, at this stage anyway but I’m sure ultimately we’ll see people drift off.

I think it would be good if Hurst could cut away all the dead wood in one go but doubt that’s possible this week.

Let’s see though.....

They might want as much done as possible before releasing it. I suspect everyone out of contract who won't be getting another one will know. But maybe they're very close to agreeing a deal to pay off Rose or Williams and are just hanging on. Scannell is the question mark for me as he figured in the last couple of squads whilst others were out of the picture.

None of them can look a fan , the manager , chairman in the eye and tell them they deserve a new contract ... think the surprises will be with who’s kept over who goes ..  the ones that do , need one hell of a season to win my trust and respect back

Bit harsh Goldenfish. You can’t tar all the squad with the same brush.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
