Artell’s interviews

Quoted from mariner91

There's no way that teams like Morecambe, Accrington, Barrow, Harrogate, Crewe or Walsall are spending significantly more than us but they currently have much better squads. In the summer we'll have loads out of contract: Amos, Glennon, Waterfall, Efete, Maher, Eisa, Holohan, Ainley, Khan, Clifton and Gnahoua are all out of contract. Out of them I'd probably want to keep Gnahoua and Clifton but not bothered about the rest really. Even then Clifton isn't a good central midfielder for L2 but his versatility and energy is useful to have in the squad. It won't quite be a clean slate next summer but it won't be far off it. Just need to make sure we get enough in as reinforcements in January to stay up first.

I’d keep Glennon but I think (and hope) Green is another out of contract.

Facts can be misleading we could have been 4 up at half time if we took our chances and they missed all thiers.

Everybody said we were terrible in the 2nd half yet we drew that 0-0.

The truth is we are not good enough and it will make a few good signings in January for us to be half decent.

I could not stand a return to non league again so David work your magic because we really need it.

Option for a third year. Whether that's the club with the option or the player it is unclear.

What exactly did you expect him to say?

“The owners made provision in the accounts for ground repairs so Paul didn’t have the money we thought he’d get but still got more than he’d ever hoped for. To add to that between him & Joe Hutchinson they signed players with good lap top stats from the tracker in their vests but to a man zero appetite & resilience”.

“Add to that Paul left it too late to bring in an experienced keeper, put too much faith in too many NL level players despite a few of them having good contribution in the cup run and we only have one half decent striker”.

DA is an experienced manager who’s inherited a squad that you wouldn’t say was Hurst like. If you must judge him do it in May at the earliest.

It’s not broken but there’s lots to fix .

With all of those out of contract in the summer it may be a lot easier to ship some of them out in January by stating they arent likely to get much, if any, playing time, and to find another club where they could get the playing time they want.

Who’s going to want them? More importantly, who’s going to pay them off?

Let’s face it . We’re fooking male masturbation and will be off a long time until we get lucky and DA or another manager manages to throw a team together who gels because it’s evident that PH couldn’t manage to buy a decent squad with a fa cup QF purse behind him .

It’s not a given that players that leave are paid off at our level. Remember they’re on a fixed term contract, it’s quite possible that as most of them will have less than 2 years service they could be terminated with a month or three of PILON and with a few extra weeks by way of a compromise agreement.

I'm not sure you can terminate someone on a fixed term contract and not pay up that contract fully without an agreement from the employee.

Will all depend on the terms of an individual player’s contract but I agree that with the use of agents I would doubt any club are in a position to terminate a contract by giving the “maximum” three months notice that applies to the vast majority of the UK workforce. In January the odd player may accept 3 months money and leave but only if he’s going straight to another club thus his PILON is just a bit of extra dosh.

We desperately need to introduce both quality and physicality into the side and a couple of early January signings would give us all a lift.
