I was walking around Asda Tunstall Tuesday night listening to the latest podcast trying to work out who had guessed the worst and best at the retain list. Looking forward to the next episode lads.

Close, Bez said keep two, Jonny and me said 4! I dpn't think most people thought it'd be 0! In fact, with the guesses off social media, 6 people said it would be 0, and 4 of them were in jest!

Thanks to all the responses on here to the questions!

The retained list pod is out. It's a bumper episode (by that, I mean long!) as we're joined by Phil Bowers to discuss how it's been for him over the season following Vale for Radio Stoke. Then we jump in to a breakdown of the retained list as all the players out of the contract have gone (and a few still under contract will likely be leaving). On top of that, we went out in the social media world and asked for names for new players! It's all going off on our first post-season pod!

Available on Apple, Google and Spotify podcasts. And here! https://aleandthevale.podbean.com

Hope the mic sounded better today @Tapper 👍

Great podcast as usual, but I must pull you on something Stu 😉 . A defensive mid like Joyce is a number 4 and your centre half is a 6, not the other way round!! 😜

Mate, I agree with you. But Clarke calls them 6s and 8s. Gotta go with the gaffer on this one 😂

Great episode.

Bowers' comments regarding Robinson's contract being 'pretty good' is worrying. He could be content, at 31, to keep earning good money at a club not far from his Birmingham home. Clubs will undoubtedly show interest but will any of them take on a large contract for a lad with three league goals? 

Really hammers home the shambles of the striker chase last summer; strung along by Maynard for a bigger bonus, p!ss about Jamille Matt who promptly goes and scores 16 for FGR, and left overpaying for Theo Robinson who hadn't scored more than 11 in a season since 2010.

Good post, and definitely interesting to hear Phil talk about Robinson, as I heard that he was one of the top earners at the club. It's going to be hard to shift him now. I think we'll be paying him a least a percentage of his wage until the end of next season even if he goes. 

It was a foolish deal. That's the problem with falling for one player (Maynard) who has clearly shown that money is the most important factor to him (Not saying he's wrong to do this, each to their own). They're always going to take the best offer and make you wait around. Sometimes it's just best to take a guy who actually wants to play for you, over a perceived 'better' player.

Great podcast chaps , I’ll miss bezza’s rants in the close season emoji23.png

Enjoyed Phil’s comments and he made some excellent player recommendations, the lad at fleetwood Jordan Rossiiter being an excellent suggestion

Don't worry, we've still got a season review to do with Baggers! Plenty of time for ranting on that one.
