No complaints with that for me. Question now is what happens to those players still under contract that Hurst doesn't seem to be a fan of? Frozen out and hope they leave? Offered mutual termination with a reduced pay out? Given a chance in the squad? Will be interesting to see.
In his interview after Cambridge he heavily inferred the budget he's been given means he can afford to freeze them all out, and he'd been very clear with those players that would be the case if they chose to stay.

That's the impression I got too. Let your career end here, or do something about it and leave.

Works for me, I’d like to see the 3 senior players offered deals sign but imagine Coke will be the only one who’s likely to commit.
As many posters have said already it’s how Hurst can with trim or get a tune out of the ones left and add relative quality that matters most.
I don’t expect to see much movement or activity for a bit now until the deals all expire on what is it June 30th?

Somewhat surprised to see we took up the option on spokes, he looks some way off being even 3rd choice at NL level to me.

Quoted from 123614
Don't look like we have many acceptable strikers left in the squad.

With those under contract and offered deals its already a squad of 22 so he will need to offload a few contracted players if those that were offered contracts sign.
no he doesn't - he made that crystal clear in the post Cambridge interview. As someone said we could even furlough them for the next couple of months and then let them train with the youth Since people like Gibson, Williams & Rose will be travelling long distances to work it's not going to be a very attractive proposition Frightening that 6 of those 12 under contract are not wanted and 4 of those 12 will be amongst the highest earners. Thanks Holloway/Fenty i'd be gobsmacked if Skinflint Fenty hadn't included relegation clauses alongside his infamous Covid clauses. The chance to save a few thousand pounds would have ensured that! Anyone know what the magnitude of these clauses are usually? i.e. are wages cut in half, or just reduced by 10%?

No great surprises there, and realistically still another four or five to get shut of by hook or by crook. What underlines the challenge ahead for me though is that if you go back in time to the 15/16 Conference season and select your best 15 from that bunch, there won't be many names you'd swap out.
McKeown Tait Gowling Pearson Nsiala Townsend Robertson Disley Clay Nolan Arnold Monkhouse Amond Bogle Pittman
You can make an argument for LJL for Pittman, and I know some wouldn't have Monkhouse in there at all, but when you consider this lot only just got us over the line I think it becomes clear we have a hill to climb next season.

So Ohman was still contracted after all. Yet another lie from Holloway.
Of those still contracted, there is nothing to stop Hurst putting those that he really doesn't want on the transfer list, for a minimal fee, to put there names out there, which would save the club having to pay them off
