Retained list for season 17/18

[PureVale]

Would be good if Eagles and Bikey sign up too.

 

Those plus Pugh gives us the experience in the squad needed for a tough battle season in league 2.

 

No too concerned of Ryan Taylor leaves. Not sure he'd be up for the battle ahead.

 

Rather keep Streete and Foley than use wage budget re-signing Taylor.

Have I missed something or has the retained list still not been released?

I thought it would have been Thursday or Friday, or even this morning.

 

Expect it early next week now.

[Emile]

Im not even sure were gonna get a retained list, instead drip fed signings / releases.

I've got a very bad feeling you could be right. It would be good at some point to get some good news on the player signing front too.

[NellyTheValiant]

The retained list will be anyone that wants to stay. I don't think that Brown or the club will have much say in this apart from the lads who signed 2-3 years at the beginning of last season. Some of these we may come to some settlement over, 'released by mutual consent'.

[werstayinup]

I wonder if this will be released tomorrow

[bookworm]

I think we may have a page type retained list.

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

I think we may have a page type retained list.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. Keep all the same crap and expect better results.

 

He can't surely as he's called out players already.

[EricHamesis]

Well, four of them have accepted already.

[EricHamesis]

If Brown wants 16 new players there's not going to be much of a retained list, more a released list.

Clubs are changing hands all the time, part of a players life. A contract is a contract.

[Wrex]

The club tweeted that "We would like to remind fans that the club has until the third week in May to offer new deals to players".

 

Seems Brown is in no hurry then!

[gavcradd]

Will get compo for Streete if we offered him the same contract offer as he was on.

 

IF... sounds like he's been released by mutual consent, no offer been made. We'll see, Norman doesn't usually turn down a few quid if it's on offer.
