CONFIRMED Retained List

A bit sad that Walker's career with us has fizzled out - there was a time when he looked a very exciting prospect.

Thomas didn't actually look atrocious and I think that he is another one who could look a bit better than just ordinary a division lower. Still he will be able to tell his dad that he played for Preston North End as well.
 
O'Reilly, Earl, Maguire, Lindsay, Storey, Ledson, Evans and Cunningham.

They'd all struggle to get in any championship team.
I wouldn't mind any of these going.
Just shows how bad of a situation we're in.
A fit Cunningham is definately worth keeping hold of imo and possibly a rejuvinated Storey. As for the rest, I agree with you.
 
It's OK saying those 3 players we will listen to offers. Doubtful we'll find a club to pay them the money we do. Maybe season long loans the way out for them


Probably the offers they are looking for are how much of their wages are you prepared to pay for us to take them off your hands.
 
Total agree with all of the released players and the transfer listed ones.

Quite a few are surprised that Evans and Maguire are not on the list but I would imagine that's a case of seeing how the incoming players work out before moving them on. If we get Archer back and we sign Gray then I would imagine one of them would be moved on.

We can't transfer list everyone as that will devalue the price we could get for them.

Bayliss, Harrop and Olusunde will not be part of the squad next season but Evans and Maguire very well maybe.

You’d better tell Halifax they should be picking him.

Thomas is currently on loan at National League Halifax, where he hasn't been used since March.

Thomas showed that Championship recruitment is a bit more difficult than Ridsdale spotting a guy playing for Bamber Bridge and a compliant head coach saying "aye boss, let's gie him a wee go".
 
So as it stands, we have zero keepers at the club

Fortunately we don't have a game for a while. 🙂

Given the alternative would have been to give either Ripley or Hudson a contract it's no bad thing, and as I suspect the decision regards to these two was taken weeks/ months ago you'd hope we've already got their replacements lined up.
 
Paper thin squad. Needs some real quality adding to it or we could be looking at a very difficult season. Please accept apologies for amateur hour attempt, but I had 3 minutes and a boss looking over my shoulder.

Very busy summer ahead.

Two wing backs three keepers and a striker minimum

Predicted Barky off months ago saying we wouldn’t see him play again much to some posters annoyance , wish him well wherever he ends up.
 
Imagine we'll be more than willing to listen to offers for Evans and then Maguire too, interesting to see the small analysis done by @oli_oconnell yesterday showing Maguire is actually quite creative, could be worth trying him in pre-season in maybe the DJ role?
Just whisper anything positive about Maguire.
I hope he has a really good first pre season with Ryan Lowe and has a lot more luck with injuries.
There’s been loads written about how his injuries have impacted on his lack of goals but I don’t buy that.
For me it’s CONFIDENCE and it looks like it’s rock bottom to me especially around the box.
If I were him I’d stick some goals up in the garden, cancel my holidays and smack balls in all day.
 
I'm glad those three are totally unwanted. Cos I certainly didn't want them to be re-evaluated in pre-season. They just need to go! (Can hopefully now reclaim the No.7 and No 10 shirts that they never deserved)

Overall very happy with the decisions made on the contracts of both the older pros and youths. There's still others who we will hopefully move on in the next few months. But they can at least do a job if we end up retaining them.

Hope Barky gets a decent move somewhere. It's a shame how things worked out for him.
He was flying when he was scythed down by the reckless Fulham left back Robinson. IMO he would have been a good fit for RL’s wingback formation.
 
My only hope is someone comes in for Maguire. Whether it be Cardiff again or Neil at Sunderland. I can only hope and pray we get rid of him this summer.
Talk on here about few going to Sunderland prob because of Neil there Maguire was going to Cardiff well talk was there in Jan
 
O'reilly deserves to be here above Harrop/Bayliss

Worse case he'll end up on ireland on loan as opposed to others who sit around watching the Euxton paint dry
Yeah unlike them two he has really performed excellently when out on loan albeit at a lower level. Would like to see him have the full pre season with the first team to allow RL to make his mind up on him.

I presume he will be back with us pre season or is his loan for the Irish season?
