Out now

Quoted from heppy88

Disappointed that Sousa is going. Good enough to play in playoffs, instrumental in our promotion. For me a strange decision.

Me too, 90% there,  good attacker and worked back well, coached better in his final pass/ finishing he would have been an asset

Sorry to sound boring but we need Cropper just for his long throws, Sousa impresses with his runs but has no end product. Feel sorry for Max and hope someone takes him on. Harry will be with us next season  I’m sure about that and I’m sure Hursty has various players that he would like to sign for next season and with the new shirt sponsorship and increase in season tickets I don’t think he will have too many financial restrictions.

Can't really argue with much of that. I wouldn't have been bothered if Cropper didn't get a deal and I've had like to have seen Sousa stay.

I must admit, it's sad to see players with a genuine connection to the club leave, Max has been so unlucky. Mckeown has been a fantastic servant. I'll miss Lenny as well.

Usually I'm glad to see the back of players. Wish them all the best.

As echoed, no real surprises here barring maybe Sousa. I think Paul would of thought long and hard and already had some targets in mind that he thinks can improve the current 11 and those who will add to the squad. Think it will be a signing of intent if he can make the first contract renewal to be Ben Fox as that will set the statement of us this season.

Let’s just think where we was 12 months ago and what Paul has managed to build in that time. Now we are in a much better position for players to be retained and more of an attractive proposition for players to want to be part of. There are always gems that just haven’t clicked at one club for one reason or another ala McAtee.

I’m looking forward to seeing who we can get through the door and knowing that Jason and Andrew will support Paul, exciting times ahead for us Mariners.

Hurst said about halfway through the season that Max declared himself injured when the medics could find nothing wrong.  He seemed to look for reasons not to be playing.  A great shame as he talented even without a run of games.  His run and goal from the halfway line against Wrexham was a joy to see.

He had better luck with injuries at Boston and Scarborough.  I hope he finds the right club and level to continue his career.

I am sure his contract terms will reflect his situation. He got injured giving his best for us and it’s hard to begrudge us looking after him

He was just about permanently injured here and at many of his previous clubs.

Sousa, flattered to deceive . Correct decision in my opinion

Completely agree, very pretty on the ball, but absolutely no end product whatsoever.
Frustrating final ball decisions too,not just me, mcatee and Taylor must have sore throats from all the screaming they've done because of a Sousa wrong pass option.
Bizarrely,Sousa would probably be a great player higher up the league's where you've got more time on the ball,and more protection from refs.

Sounds pretty positive re Waterfall signing a new contract.

I think PH and CD have got the list right to be honest.

Appreciate Sousa looked dangerous and was brilliant in the play-offs but in the most part his end product has been disappointing. He’ll get a Conf club.

I hope Max Wright gets his injury problems under control and fulfils his potential. It’s really unfortunate for him but we can’t be over sentimental at this level.

If we can secure 3/4s of the contracts we’ve offered out we’ll have a good base of a squad. I really hope Fox re-signs the most but there are 5/6 players on that list that are key to maintain good continuity season to season. Of the contracted players you’d expect DLK to leave mutually.

Scannell is being looked after to get over an injury sustained while in our employ.

I assume that some form of liability insurance comes into force, which partway assists with paying for time during recuperation.

Are we just making a moral good decision here, or looking to inject quality once established?

At some point towards a return to full fitness, a decision will be made as to him being able to play again.

Could be a January "new" signing light bulb moment..... or another bad glitch.

Let's hope for the former, because there is some class that sees a run or a pass above our level, even this new League.

Hoping Sean Scannell makes a full recovery - well liked by players here, and possibly feared by opponents?
