Confirmed Retained List

To trigger a contract extension for a player who quite obviously doesn't fit in the managers plans is a very strange decision, nothing against Bauer but Lowe isn't going to play him so the guy will be sat on the bench all season drawing a wage that could have been used on new players, i doubt Bauer is happy at the thought of not playing much but like most of us he will take the money
 
This Bauer situation is as bad as Harrop and Maguire. Ridsdale is absolutely useless. Just pisses Hemmings' money away.

Don't mind Ched staying on as coach but he shouldn't even be making the bench really unless we're having an injury crisis.

Shame for Greg, he played well last season in his dozen or so appearances but we need to strengthen the defence, and for that we need space in the squad.

Bye Woodburn, you've been one lucky bastard to have two years earning Championship money.

I imagine Browne has already gone and Leigh is heading to a club with a proper development team.

Really don’t see the point of offering Ched that. Completely finished as a useful playing option and very minimal coaching experience, sure we could find a better young coach for a much cheaper wage than Ched will be on.

I think the contract for Ched is more a case of being a coach than a player. I doubt we will see him on the pitch and he will be working towards achieving his coaching badges whilst at the club.

How did we give a contract that can be triggered 18months early, tinpot

"When I came through the door he was already in contract negotiations and I, as the manager, when he was playing for me, honoured the contract because I think it was fair to do that".

Lowe has been here a month at that stage. The master of contracts has clearly dropped a massive clanger with Lowe's honourable blessing. What other clubs are run like this?
 
question must be asked as to how Bauer was given this contract in 2022 that has allowed him to stay on this wage without playing. and when other clubs have shown interest, he's stayed for the money. that's poor from the club and sad that a professional prefers a wage rather than playing the game.

Rumour was right about Bauer’s contract.
Ched’s offer rather controversial.
Can’t see Browne and Leigh staying.

Bauer could do a job if needed, the problem we have is Lowe seems hell bent on not playing him.

I’m please Ched has been offered a coaching role, he has a wealth of experience playing in the top flight. Having him around could really benefit our current crop of young strikers.
