    Mullin signed a new deal last week, he's going nowhere.

    Agreed. But its another mistake IMO. Better than Ridehalgh anyway.

    Jake Young another. Did more in his few games than Nevers and Costelleo put together.

    It just nature I think for the family to put a guy as high as they see him. It's how those messages are portrayed going forward that will be key. I'd happily welcome him back next year, lets face it he cant be any worse than Nevers or Costelloe were. They did go from seeing him with a promotion medal, to not even making the squads in the space of about 10 matchdays, I get why that might be frustrating to see.

    I think anyone here if they had a relative in the team would probably say similar, but yes that figure to listen to should be people in the squad/staff, rather than people at home. Like for instance if anyone went to Hartlepool away at the start of the season. I was stood just behind Kian Harratts dad in the away end, who moved his way to the front row when he came off the bench. I think the Hughes instruction was to come on and play as that left sided forward, but whenever we attacked or Kian was around the box, his dad was yelling at him to stay forward or stay central, one time we had a corner Harratt said "I've been told to stay left" and his dad was shouting to do the opposite. That kind of family interaction is completely detrimental to the player.

    Maybe it is time Sparks reviewed his own contract and cleared off. We have achieved feck all on the pitch since that guy was fast-tracked through the club and promoted to where he is now, having had little experience and from a rugby background

    Looks fake. No line break before Cook's name, and no mention of Songo'o anywhere.

    Also, if true, really poor to be offering Ridehalgh a contract; He's absolutely past it for where we want to be.

    It's proven to be fake. The guy who has made that account was a well known Twitter WUM. He reactivated an old account (he's had a few) and renamed it but forgot to delete his old tweets and likes, so everyone can see who he is.

    Agreed. Some who go may feel they haven't been given a chance. Many of whom could of only have dreamed of being given chance, after chance, after chance like our resident midfielders. Good luck to those who go and stay.

    Ridehalgh the new scapegoat. Was never as bad as some are making out. I agree that probably sees the end of Foulds. A few players in the squad that will probably be released with a mutual agreement such as Hendrie and Cousin Dawson.

    Gilliead isn't a surprise but still a disappointment. Gives his all but it was time to move on. He's been here too long, contributed absolutely nothing and he takes up a position that we need multiple reinforcements in.

    Ridehalgh is pants. Never rated him and I hope to god he's not been offered first choice terms.

    I suspect Foulds will be off and sign for Harrogate,especially if we’re signing this left back from Barrow. Surprised we’re keeping Ridehalgh.

    Foulds needs to go after what Hughes did in bring in Bola. Why stick around when the manager clearly doesn't rate you to a point he brings someone in on loan to take your position.

    Offers will come in for Lewis. It will be hard to keep him.

    I dont mind Ridehalgh he is not ‘pants’ and was a good signing but he is a bit of a steady Eddie and knocking on, he will never comfortably do anyone for pace nor will Halliday.

    I guess steady eddie works both ways, he is pretty consistent and reliable, good traits esp for a defender.

    The loan signings we made (apart from Banks) really need to be improved. This is my opinion of why we struggled, they did not perform so we ended up with what we had and this increased the pressure on the remaining players. The lads from Burnley, West Ham and Luton struggled and this limited our options. I’m not surprised by who is staying but I am sure come August things will look totally different.

    You don't usually have two coming up from NL with over 100 points. You also don't usually get an MK Dons coming down, with their resources.
    Gillingham and Donny have said they will have a spend. Mansfield won't be hit by the same number of injuries again, They will be better. Salford will have a big budget.
    Looks a tough league this time.

    Hopefully Stockport can go up. With Stockport/Wrexham/MK Dons in the league I fear it will be play-offs at best for us.

    Fans really need to start calling out Sparks and Rupp to spend and go for it.
