Good to see as with the other 2 that we are tying players down early and more importantly that they actually want to stay for the right reasons.

Still anticipate a cull, Evans, Brisley, Browne, Cullen , Lloyd would all be possibles to depart in my humble opinion.

I'd be surprised if Brisley isn't offered a contract. I suspect he will see what his options are as my guess is we are paying him a lot less than he's earned in the past. During the last couple of games he has been a very capable deputy for Smith. The others I suspect will move on, although Evans is probably quite cheap and his versatility is useful.

That would be a great cull. All of those guys could be improved upon easily. Cullen, I don’t know the context of his wages. If he is here cheap, another year may work.

I suspect Cullen is on a fair wedge... he has had a good career and had pedigree. My guess is that he won’t be renewed and that gives us a healthy slice to try and attract another decent striker.

The issue here is that you have to be able to “Easily” improve on them at the same budget... It’s too simple to say we can get a better player. It would need to be someone like Burgess, who, for the amount I assume we are playing him is a diamond find!

It also needs people not to moan their sacks off when Askey brings players in at that wage range. A few will work, we may get lucky (Burgess) but the majority will be squad players. 

In short... I look forward to people not shouting their mouths off at players we sign this summer.

Agree entirely. If it was possible to bring in better players at lower wages Morecombe could be top of the league. It's not a perfect correlation but most of the teams in the top 7 have the bigger budgets. The exceptions give hope to the rest. While we don't know for sure who gets paid what I think it's pretty clear Legge is on a lot more than, say, Evans. The more you pay the first 11 the lower the quality of the players coming in as cover for injuries. If money wasn't a factor we could easily bring in better players than the whole of our squad but this is the real world.

Bumped into James Gibbons earlier this week, nice lad and said he definitely wants to stay.

I have a horrible feeling we may lose Smith in the summer

I meet a fair few footballers in my job and according to the ones I have spoken to Smith wants to stay. Obviously the deal has to be right but the desire to stay is there.

Askey says he wants 5/6 contract renewals.

Assume thats; Smith, Gibbons, Monty, Amoo, Legge and one more.

Brisley? Cullen?

Those 5 you would think he'd be happy to hold on to regardless of what league we finish in. There may be one or two he'll make offers to at the end of the season once he knows his budget.

If we get all 5 I'll be ecstatic.

4, losing Smith, is still a good return and gives us a good group of players to build on.

The problem is if clubs from higher up or even in our league are offering a lot more than us, there’s nothing we can do about that if it’s outside our wage structure and can’t match it.
