Did you know that; He works hard, makes a great squad filler, only gets paid peanuts, buttons (no one actually knows this but it still gets pedalled as gospel) so why on earth wouldn't you keep him?

Absolute lies.

Point to me where somebody has said that Rutherford is on "peanuts" or "buttons".

People (me included) suggested he wouldnt be on much, and I stand by it. I cant possible see how he is a top earner, we wouldnt keep a squad player on top whack. Anybody with a brain could draw that conclusion.

I hadn’t noticed myself. Where have you read that?

Pretty sure you said he was on buttons yesterday. Anyone with a brain will know that a 31 year old won't be playing for shit money nor has anyone said he's a top earner.
If only you knew!

I think Shaun Pearson and Rob Lainton will attract a lot of attention from League 1 & 2 clubs. In particular Shrewsbury Town. Hence why we have offered contracts to both Kennedy and Tharme. I also think Fondop will be sent out on a season long loan, probably back to Maidenhead as their interested in retaining his services.

If the above comes true. That leaves the following under contract:

Christian Dibble
Manny Smith
Jake Lawlor
Luke Young
Akil Wright
Jason Oswell
Bobby Grant
Paul Rutherford

I believe the following will sign new contracts:
Mark Carrington
Luke Summerfield
Kieran Kennedy
James Jennings

I believe the following will reject new contracts:
Rob Lainton
Doug Tharme

That means that we'll have a total of 12 players at the club, meaning we will probably look at signing another 6 players.

GK - Replace Lainton
RB - Replace Roberts
LW - Replace Holroyd
ST - Replace Beavon
CM
RW


That's how I see it panning out.

I can see us attempting to sign these 3

Luke Coddington (highly thought of at Wrexham)
Ben Tollit (impressed on loan)
Mat Sadler (released from Shrewsbury, Played with Hughes at Birmingham

[Liverpool Red]

I pray to god we sign some quality attacking players this summer. I don't think I can cope with another season of "Ruthers" and Grant.

However, we should only be adding squad players after we have signed the key players when we know how much money we have left.

Spot on he simply is not good enough to be a regular starter he must be as cheap as chips for a £1

Hughes will be gone by October if he continues as he left off with hoofball

Coddington hasn't had a great record since leaving here, I don't see him as an upgrade on Dibble.

I don't really see a place for Sadler unless Jennings goes, and at 34 he's knocking on.
