Heard about any others being told the same? Why? The players, would be knocking on the door...err, my contract is nearly up, am I getting a new one?..or should I ask my agent to find me another club. I'll let you know end of the season, I'll take that as a no then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know end of the season, I'll take that as a no then... why? Maybe they wouldn’t be performing like they are now and perhaps would be trying to do everything possible to earn a new deal. I would be very surprised if these players get anywhere near as good a deal at another club. Edited March 8, 2020 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 We'll never be able to start agian properly until stuffing man is out of the club. Doesn't matter who our manager is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Soul Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’d have Van Acken in the squad over Lees all day, every day. Huge potential but threw into the first team too quick! Needless to say many fans gave him grief after losing his confidence. That said he’s in a safe place at the moment. Who’d want to come back to Hillsborough?!

I think your right about forestieri but Fletcher is coming to the end of his career and possible won't want to up root his family again he would be outstanding in L1.

billyblack Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Wont make any difference, a rebuild without a team to plan it properly will just be a total mess and more money down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I don’t think the club are up to the job of starting afresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I'd release all players out of contract with only Fox offered a new deal. I would want Hutch to have one but we know that aint going to happen.. The squad should be trimmed massively and for me we should be looking to retain the following only: Dawson, Wildsmith, Palmer, Borner, Iorfa, Fox, Luongo, Reach, Harris Everyone else put up for sale with possibly only Rhodes and Moses (depending on where we are and who we can realistically bring in) given minutes with a view to being part of the first team squad That would mean a significant overhaul in the summer to bring in at least 10-15 players if not more and also promoting youth The rebuild started under Jos but stuttered before we opted to go back to type and play experience. We need a massive refresh and this summer is it. Do I trust the current incumbents, Monk and DC to bring in the right type of players .. not really given the evidence of this season for Monk and this and past for DC .. Actually when I think about it more, I'm slightly concerned in which direction we are going to be heading in and whether we'll do a Leeds/Portsmouth/Forest/Sheff U etc and struggle down the leagues before coming back up in years time ... Good grief :0( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 If we were a dog, we’d have been put down by now. Get rid of all players, then sign no one because of an embargo / chairman not being arsed. might as well have a lottery before the game for fans to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Only really Fletcher, Fox, Palmer and Iorfa can hold their head up high this season imo The rest have all gone into hiding at one stage or another and none would be missed if moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id do so in the Championship. Bannan is a waist of time as a CM and don't think he'll fancy playing wide left and although Fletcher has been good for 18 months he's 33 on a big wage. That said, can we get better ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the real world was like football manager. I'd sell Westwood, Bannan, Tom Lees and Rhodes. Would offer new contracts to Fletcher and Fox. The rest I would be happy to see move on. We will have to promote 4-6 youngsters into the first team squad from the U-23. Free, small fees and loan players will need to make up the rest of the squad.
