Do we really live in a world when 15 players have gone on holiday and are uncontactable.

 

Are they not interested in securing a job next year?

 

If they don’t answer the phone after the 3rd time fuck em off

 

probably not

 

reckon all talks took place in the international break after the villa game anyway

Can’t say I’ll lose any sleep over the initial release list.

Wasn't surprised by any of those. Initially raised an eyebrow re Mark Howard .... but it's correct. 

 

Potting Dervite and Derik hopefully means two quality new central defenders with Beevers and Wheater retained for the squad. 

 

We know there's potentially another announcement to come - it'll be interesting to see whether the above two are kept along with Wilbraham, Morais, Pratley and Henry. Other than Beevers they're all the wrong age - but getting rid of the lot would leave us with a lot to do in terms of sheer numbers of replacements required. One year deals maximum for these though.

Parkinson wants to speak to them face to face. As he should. You don’t sack someone over the phone.

Pretty sure as contractors you can. Which is what they are

Not renewing a contract isn’t a sacking

Is it not that players contracts finish at different times? - some at the end of May and some as the end of June?

 

Thus the information is only released as their contracts expire (even though the players already know)

Always thought they were all the same. Otherwise you would just say end of the season

hoping the release of Howard means 2 things

 

1) Alnwick is staying

2) Turner is going to be promoted to #2

 

if neither of those is happening, we need 2 new keepers

Perhaps a player coach role being offered to Wilbrahamovic.

 

It's usual for the player we don't want to keep to be announced first then those not on the initial list will be offered contracts etc.

It had nothing to do with their employment status

 

There’s also a difference between what you can and what you should do

Like to see turner get cup games.

And if he can hold his own and we are fortunate to secure safety soonish then a few league games aswell.

 

If he’s getting in England youth he must have something about him.

Would like to have kept Kirchhoff. See what he's like fit after a full pre season behind him.

He’s never going to be fit again.

he's been going 10 years and played 125 games

 

12 games a season 

 

and that's with 10 pre seasons

 

we had 13 games after he signed and he played in 2

 

not worth bothering with

Appeared so. Iirc correctly he came on against Brum having come back from injury; kicked the ball once and started limping. Could hardly run.

Happy enough to give Wilbraham a deal so long as he doesn’t get much game time. Seems to be a great role model, was supposedly carrying a knock for a lot of the season. Played well against Forest too.

3) Amos coming back?

Pity about Karacan wrong place wrong team etc I know some on here love Pratley but please get shut .Cant see it mind Parky likes him would offer Henry another year though.

Think Buckley will come good despite his inability to hit a cows arse with a banjo last season.

Buckley is from just up the road from me in Chaddy. Know one of his mates very well

 

His hamstrings are dodgy as fuck and he's had other injuries as well. Confidence is shot to pieces as every time he starts to do summat he gets injured

 

Feel for the lad. He loves BWFC apparently but is a worrier that his injury record gets in the way. 

 

Unsure about him. Desperately wants to prove himself, loves the club, proper speed merchant when fit, but if lacking confidence and injury-prone I worry that it's money that we haven't got being wasted. If we keep him on hope he has a decent run and shows what he can do

Maybe though it wasn't one of the things I was hoping for

Low basic wage and pay bonus on appearances, otherwise get rid.

Not the WWays pay-as-you-play then?

This is the lesser spotted change a players deal midway through his contract option

Didn’t realise he was under contract.
