Retained List

Money well spent.

 

Alan Sheehan says hi.

 

I heard he did a bang up job, fair play to the lad.

 

And they’d be right, most of them are National League players.

 

Can someone provide a list of players whose Contracts are up and those still under Contract including the likes of Colville, Goldthorpe, Gibson etc? It`s probably been shared somewhere in this thread or another. Cheers.

It's two more staying than we anticipated ? As Bowyer looks for about 12 new players to bring in. Some of the Out List of course may still be in the building well into the summer and maybe beyond ? So Bowyer won't do a Hopkin and isolate them but they'll understand they have to step up to change his decision ultimately.

It's clear we are carrying "timber" into this unnecessary , humiliating and mind numbing 19-20 campaign. But Bowyer knows he has to somehow recruit the "right type of player" and get the "wagon rolling". His reputation hangs on it because with ths club languishing around come October in the waiting room to National League football (circa Notts County !) will probably finish a decent guys Football League management career for good ! He's got a lot and I mean A LOT to do in 8 weeks. The 2 June will be key when he will unvail "a statement signing" !

 

So let me get this straight. All the loans are going but Paudie is staying. Right....

You’re not SYB are you?

 

Good spot sorry he is going but it's out the revolving front door and straight back again. But yes he has to "leave the building" until 2 June so to speak.

 

I take your point but the fact of life is "never expect anyone
to do anything other than what is best for them".

 

Well Leeds Utd might and will say different.

They won't want him playing div 2 football.

 

Are you on the Leeds board otherwise can you reveal your source

 

The way O'Connor took all his kit off yesterday I doubt he will be staying.

Wright will be staying and I think Anderson will get offered a contract.

Doubt Coville will stay or Clarke.

 

Get your deluded head out of the sand!

 

What sort of answer is that how do you know

 

Think your right but O'Connor may well be in the Bradxit group neither out nor in ? But stays on until he can sort something ? Bowyer will keep him involved but look for a more commanding physical leader at the back.

 

What do you mean he took his kit off?

 

Now now Mrs Onside. Its too early on a sunday morning for those kind of thoughts about young Paudie

 

Wasn't on about Paudie.

 

He took all his kit off. Shorts, top, socks the lot.

I think he would of informed his agent to get him out of here.

 

Because I am not stupid.

Other div 1 clubs will want him or Leeds stay in the Championship he might stay with them now.

They're not going to want him to go backwards in his development
