Contract situation.

After watching that today I wouldn't be rushing to offer new contracts to most of that shower. In fact players like Ledson, Lindsay and Bauer could go too. If we are going to shake the squad up and that means giving decent contracts to new signings then I'm all for it. But alas it's unlikely to happen.
 
Keep:
Woodman
Cornell
Diaby
Whiteman
Browne
Riis
Potts (as squad depth)

Release:
Cunningham
Brady
DJ (This is more because we all know he's leaving, I'd keep him myself)
Olosunde
Woodburn

Sell:
Bauer
Lindsay
Storey
Ledson
Hughes

Evans, would be keep but I believe for his own health he should retire unless the injury isn't as severe as reported
McCann, if we can recoup what we paid for him I'd sell but otherwise keep
Onomah, pre-season trial and see where he's at fitness wise after that.
 
The contract situation is a joke, so is waiting the the end of the first window to get bodies in the door. . . Which we will do again

Just a little reminder.

Peter Ridsdale told the fans at a meeting in the autumn that he saw the contract situation this summer as OPPORTUNITY....

If Woodburn has his contract extended I will be absolutely fuming and just shows what direction the club is heading.

Some people around us were actually booing the fact that he was being brought on just before the board was going up with his number on it.

The club have a proverbial tap-in to kick off the summer window on a positive note. All they have to do is not take his option up.

The tone will be set when we hear what we're doing with Woodburn.

That might have been me booing, (AKTE). Sorry. Don't think he's good enough and was annoyed he was coming on at 2(3-0?) Down when he should have brought on some of the young lads

He says every summer is an opportunity. This time I’m not falling for it.

Nope, I was on the Invincibles in the block nearest the Sunderland fans. Wasn't saying it to make anyone apologise, just that it's the first time I've heard a PNE player booed before even coming on. Speaks volumes about how poorly the collective fanbase rate the lad.

Given the bench we had, I think throwing Onomah was as good as we could do. Woodburn as our only other senior outfield option was extremely alarming.

I feel that once it got to 3-0 and the Sunderland fans were cheering every pass, I don't think it was the right atmosphere to bring the young players into. Wouldn't have been fair on them.

I started booing as soon as he was taking his bib off (also AKTE) which funnily enough is the only thing he's good at
 
"All the players are in with me tomorrow from eight o'clock onwards. We've got meetings so there will be offers, some released and whatnot. We will probably know a bit more towards the middle of the week."

To me, this might as well read "no offers of contract extensions are being made."

Generally, in previous seasons we've known before the end of the season what's happening with which player and the retained list has been released the first working day after the final game.

Earlier this season we already extended Ledson and Lindsay - mid-season. We didn't let it get towards the end of the deal or leave it until the end of the season.

The only player that's out of contract that I can see remaining here is the one seemingly no one but the manager wants to stay.
 
Lowe may have been playing him to show the owners how poor and weak is our depth of squad.. On the other hand he may think that's the standard the manager wants to sign May be Woodburn for Captain next season
