    Doyle will stay on as a coach, pointon will get a contract extension and hopefully Halliday signs a new deal. I’d say walker aswell but his injuries are just too much. Won’t miss the rest.

    The best of the summer window is for the clown Gent to lose his job

    Do we have to offer them extra money for the years contract?

    No but it could be written in as part of the deal . Eg The last year if we take up the option will include increases to the value of the RPI for example .

    EXACTLY!
    If Gent is kept on what is the question again?
    Is he not accountable the way Hughes and Hodge were?
    I suppose if the goal is to be sustainable then Gent will do as he can find the players that match our cheap season tickets and he can continue to scrape the bottom of the middlesbro' barrel.
    The club's vision knows no beginning.

    It will depend on what was agreed in the contract.

    Didn’t he explain the Boro link was a lazy myth? Only about three he actually knew? Can’t remember sorry.

    We have options on everyone out of contract apart from Platt and Chapman so the club is in control of who leaves in June.

    If they are options on the clubs side as suggested, then no. It's just basically as easy as adding on an existing year to the current contract. There has been instances in the past where a player has a say on the option and can opt against if they want to go, but I don't think there has been anything to suggest that's in play here.

    Obviously, players might want to adjust their money after the options are triggered, but it would mean a new deal. Wrexham did that with a few this season, Mullin and I think it was Lee had options in the summer which were picked up, and then both signed new deals this season too on more money. Knowing our recruitment team, it wont be an extra years option we have on the contracts, it will be an extra 3! o_O

    I think it's time for Harry to leave. I know he had a bad injury but his assists record isn't great. I would think Kavanagh is probably the player who takes over his role from him.

    Shame because he's a decent player who stands out playing for other sides.

    Yet another attacking/flair player who flopped at VP.

    We might as well pack it in and accept we're cloggers for all time.

    I like Chapman but I think he's looked a bit slow and overweight since he came back this time

    I’d just hope recruitment is down to the managers choice
    And only him

    Agreed.

    Watch him go to Barrow and rip it up ...

    Not bothered about Chapman,we are probably not the right club for him,but I would want to keep Platt,there are not many,if any,stronger centre halves in league two,which is where I would imagine we will be again next season.

    Same but I wouldn’t be surprised if Platt gets offers from League 1 and moves on.
