Seems like we've exercised the option of Christie's extra year

I wonder if that was triggered automatically after a certain number of appearances?

Fair play to GJ & JOT, their performances have been very good under any circumstances, but knowing they were not being kept on speaks volumes about them, and SS' ability to motivate them.

I'd have kept them both, but I am a sentimental old fool! 

 

They were only informed this morning. Dempsey said himself he wasn’t sure what was happening can’t see them telling GJ by the way your not here next season it could  effect is performance or be in the back  if is mind when going into a 50/50 why would you 
 

All Evatt signings, I like SS’s mentality, no room for sentiment!

Onwards & Upwards 🤞

Not offering a contract would suggest it's our decision I'd have thought

Yes  and did it last summer ss well good to see no sentiment especially how much he as praised the players compadre and not let it blind is decision after Wembley 

I think Jordi was good enough to keep, but I'm sure there are plenty of other factors to that decision.

Ultimately we were never going to attack the Championship with a squad that finished 5th in League One - and that's if we managed to keep Kenny & ACD.

They'll all be good players at a decent level somewhere.

jamie vardy a free agent, worth a punt

I'll put a word in when he gets back from Italy... he lives up the road and we chat from time to time

Go out on top, they'll pick up a new club quick enough. 

The Schon thing is baffling, 

Can see a few being asked to look for a new club too.

Tutu is odd.

Maybe we have a vg option, or he does.

That Leicester squad is rotten.. Has talent, but huge earners with shit attitudes. Most will go back overseas. The English lads may stay and fight (on whopping deals)

The ex Tottenham midfielder who is lower end of Championship at best, is earning £90k per week...

Harry Winks 

And the fans hate him as a prime example of an average player on a fortune

Schon must  be a mistake 3 year contract so there not ripping it up and  if a fee as been agreed it could still fall through between now and the transfer window opening

I notice Schon is not on that retained list even though he signed a three year deal in 2024.

He doesn't need to be if he's on a contract.

Cissoko option to buy not exercised.

This is all too soon 🤯😟

Think you are missing the point. They have listed everybody who is currently on a contract as part of the announcement on who was released

to do that but release Desmond is madness . 

I'd rather have Christie as second choice than Tutu as first choice in the Championship, if that makes sense?

Some fucking hangover for these lads, if they have only found out today

Think he had an argument with fans as they were going down 

Yeah I noticed Christie was at the half way line mostly during the celebrations and I was sure he was taking it all in before potentially retiring or leaving elsewhere.

A very busy but interesting summer ahead!

I think the deal for schon to Győr back to Hungary will be already done as not in the Bolton news reportof retaind a freudian slip. If we have sold him ,good luck to him.

Let’s see where he rocks up, it is a two street at this time of year. Did he want to stay ? 

Thats the only thing I can think off ... "Thanks for the offer of a new deal gaffer , but the missus is adamant she wants to go back down South and me agent reckons he can get me a 3 year deal at Leyton Orient " 

In which case fair enough . 

No mention of Gomes either. Randall, Toal and Mcatee are the only first team players from Evatt last squad excluding Sheehan who is the only one to get a further contract.

I think Johnston, Dempsey and TuTu knew they were off a couple of months ago and will have got themselves a club lined up.

Good judge of character by SS because those three put a shift in until the end. Not sure many of those he got rid of last Summer would have done the same

It's only fair that the players get told sharpish who's wanted and who's not, they need to sort themselves out asap. Pretty sure SS knew who he would like to keep if we got promoted well before the Stockport game.
