“Spot on. The exact seven I would have offered new deals to. I would love to keep all seven. We’re in good hands. Thanks to all the lads who are moving on; all have played a part in our rebuild season in some way or another and never caused any problems. Seem like they have good attitudes and wish them well…”

“Brilliant, I was expecting it to be a bit more brutal given the current uncertainty but I can’t argue with any of it…”

Regal Beagle
