Re: Retained list OFFICIAL
Not quite as radical as I had hoped but I do not suppose all those offered a new contract will accept, and there seems a possibility that one or 2 already under contract will depart.
Grant’s contract will divide fans: he was clearly slow, unfit and mostly ineffective since his arrival but there were signs in the last game of what might happen next season. But he must get fit and we must sign some better players to make the necessary improvements. So too will Rutherford, who will always give 100% but seems unlikely to hold a starting position if our intent is promotion. Somehow, BH must maintain our defensive strengths whilst also dramatically improving the midfield and at least one out-and-out striker who can last 90 minutes. The rumour of Pearson’s departure should either be scotched or proven quite quickly. Either way, I wish him well because he and Lainton were head and shoulders above the rest. Finally, we do not know whether Manny Smith will recover and we again see the Manny of old - a class defender who makes the team better. However, I will be very interested to hear the Board’s logic for keeping it secret. Why do it? Phase I is now mostly complete. Phase II involves BH bringing in some new faces. As a minimum we need the following: an attacking RB; a midfield general; a winger with pace who can take on defenders, beat them, and cross the ball; a CF who can win and hold the ball; and a goal-scorer who has pace and isn’t goal-shy. Finally, I think Lainton and Pearson will leave for the FL, Fondop will be encouraged to leave, and Jennings might go to Stockport. Here is looking to August to start on the rollercoaster once again.

The biggest issue in this though is the fact the club gave a player a new contract and kept that from the "owners". They have completely lost my trust and no doubt many others too. They are a disgrace. If they are willing to do things like this it shows them up as to what they will resort to. |

I was of the opinion that it should have been Kennedy or Manny, the 5 centre half situation combined with what Crewered has said makes it seem likely that one of Pearson, Lawlor or Smith is off, or in Smith's case, finished. Devils advocate, what if Pearson is on say £1500+ a week and we can get £100k+ for him and Hughes thinks that is worth doing to get that star striker, especially as we have another 3 established centre half's at the club....not a risk worth taking for me personally.

You can almost hear BH saying ‘that taught me not to read that shte anymore’ Seriously though I just hope BH is aware of NL players and has done the groundwork on players that could improve us. Hopefully he has cleared the ‘weaker’ players and I mean strength wise as lightweight doesnt cut it much in this league. Pace and power are 2 key attributes on top of any footballing skills. |
