Title: Retained list
Post by: Saughall Robin on June 24, 2021, 03:41:32 PM
Wondering when we'll issuing this?
Probably be connected with who we can bring in, I suppose.
End of the month perhaps?
Let's just hope Parky can work his usual magic!

Well, this would be a disaster. Says he got the Dobbie one right, seems to think he's in the know.

When Tom actually responds to the rumour with a meme of a head shake i think you can guess its bull.

I don't think I know what happened with all the loanees...

I assume Kirby has gone back to Harrogate, maybe we're looking at him permanently?

Ogle still seemed to be playing for us after his release from Accy had been announced - assume he's a free agent for the time being?

I know Zouma's a free agent, but hopefully we're looking at better.

Are we normally this slow announcing player news? Maybe the switch to hybrid is complicating things.

I believe the management team are being swans rather than robins at the moment.
While there doesn't seem to be much going on on the surface, underneath it's all going on in the mission to get players in who will improve us.
I'm backing them to come up with the goods soon bearing in mind that a lot of L2 players (and strikers!) come to the end of their contracts at the end of the month.
So no news could be more than likely good news!
Keep the faith, Robins fans, we'll hear something soon I'm sure.

Neil Young went to market quickly - and promptly signed the biggest pile of dross in the club's history.

Happy to wait if it means getting the right people.

Couldn't agree more 👍

I also agree! I was just wondering whether the lack of surface activity was linked to our change of status. Wouldn't the list of retained players have normally been released by now? I know Ringo and James Hardy have gone, but I think we were all expecting a couple more.

Boreham Wood have said they will not be discussing their plans until July 1st to respect those whose contracts run until June 30th. Maybe we are doing the same thing. We may have interesting news on Thursday.

Good to see that J.Davidson have followed Mornflake by extending their sponsorship for a further 12 months.

I’m not sure we ever release a formal ‘retained list’ in the way that most other clubs seem to, do we? I don’t remember us doing so.

I quite like that we don't. It's very cutthroat. Simon Richman, for example, deserved more than a name on a list.

I'd be most interested in who, of the current squad, will be full timers on which ones are opting to stay part time. I bet this is one of the reasons why announcements have not been made to date?

How many of our players are on 2 year contracts?

We're "stuck" with them for this season unless we can persuade any we don't want to keep to leave. Paying them off might cost a few quid which we then won't have for replacements.

I believe Ringo was on a two year contract.

Was thinking more of those we signed this year who still have a year left
Title: Re: Retained list
Post by: Saughall Robin on June 29, 2021, 07:43:14 PM
I know. I think he was at the end of the first year of a two year contract.
I seem to recall some on here puzzled that he was offered that length of a deal.

PS. If that was two years ago, I apologise but I don't think so.

I think you are right. Quite a few players were offered 2 year contracts at the start of last season iirc
