    I would say the majority of those in the list would find another club in this league.
    Who has an actual monetary value or would attracted higher interest? Vernham if he keeps his form going and much more if he learns to finish. Cooke also probably. Watt based upon age and stats also. Paudie in the past maybe-recent form not so much

    Yes and it's a very damning, cynical view that Adams holds. Basically he doesn't trust anyone.

    An interesting viewpoint of Mr. Adams. Of the list though I would say possibly ROD, Canavan and Watt can be sometimes guilty of possibly not giving their all. I would say the others, Paudie, Sutton and Cooke have pretty much always given it everything, but are limited by their ability

    I'd agree with you on most of that. Canavan is a man mountain and looks like a player you would want in you trenches, but in reality he's a pussy. At least Paudie shows passion. Sutton never stops running, but I'm not convinced Cooke always gives his all.

    No one deserves a new company contract.

    Oh good. Let's continue with our extremely high turnover of players.

    Yippee.

    I think their is truth in this. You have articulated Jon on how we are not being outclassed in matches and clearly are a few players short of a decent team. To this, with limited knowledge of performance in recent weeks, I'd agree.

    I'm not sure if a whole raft of changes will be overly beneficial when incomings will ultimately be of a similar nature to what we have, backed up by the new buzz word... Sustainability.

    Let's engage our monies on a quality CAM, attacker, CM and RB.

    Out of interest, how long is Adams’s contract?

    "Signing players with two or three-year deals doesn’t wash with me unless they’ve got a value."

    Proceeds to sign 30yr old Liam Ridehalgh and non league Fiacre Kelleher on two year deals.

    How many players this season were actually signed on 1 year deals? Now I'd guess covid made a few players take whatever was on offer but generally, unless you are shite and nobody else wants you, decent players do not move on one year contracts.

    Far too long !!!
    If ever a manager talked the talk and blamed everyone else
    I give you Threlkeld on a 2 year deal and Gillead the first name on the teamsheet
    Ridehalgh has plenty of value pushing 30
    Sometimes think he thinks we are all stupid
