    Contracts end on 30 June, not 1 June but the point still stands. There will be some PL games scheduled after then and there will be some players who are out of contract at that point. But most PL clubs try to avoid that situation like the plague and move them on before their contracts expire and the players leave on a free.

    The times they are a changing slightly. Chelsea's Willian is a good example. He had previously said that if the season isn't completed by 30 June, he's off and signing elsewhere. He's now had a change of heart and has said he'll sign a short term contract with Chelsea until the fixture list has been completed. I guess others will be taking a similar view if their palms are crossed with enough silver!

    Lee Powers assessment of L2 this year. This is what he thinks about City. Hard to disagree with him sadly

    And the season before, even though I wanted us to go all the way for Jack Payne it then backfired on us big style...

    Settled then. Can't see him rejecting a new deal. Still has a few years left in him.

    I never said he was mentioned. I said 'I wonder if'.......please re read!!!

    McCall thought highly of him so just opening up for debate. Personally I wouldn't be against him returning.

    Nothing wrong with signing players he knows that are not well past their best like the players mentioned by @Bronco@Bronco

    Is this the same Jake Reeves who was finished after a 24 month layoff, and if he did manage to get a club at a higher level youd be the first to say we should have kept him we knew what he was capable of under Stuart, got to love ya Fordy throw enough darts at the dart board and you'll eventually get a bulls eye.

    I'm sure Stuart said he and Julian were sitting down and discussing players and the coming season around the time we got our arses kicked at Salford, and that was before Covid-19 so as many are saying it should be a buyers let's hope the coming season is the first step of getting out of league 2.

    Ah so you do think SM can get some good players in? Nice and positive for a change.

    plus Donaldson and Ismail with their options.

    If O’Donnell agrees that will leave us with 15 out of the rumoured squad size of 20. Not much flex left

    The following players have not been offered new contracts:
    - Kelvin Mellor thank god
    - Jake Reeves surprised
    - Shay McCartan surprised
    - Jordan Gibson agree
    - Jermaine Anderson thank god
    - Hope Akpan thank god
    - Adam Henley agree
    - Daniel Devine agree
    - Joe Riley not surprised
    - George Sykes-Kenworthy agree

    Looks like SM wants his own midfield. Really glad Mellor and Akpan and Anderson have been let go.

    Thought Shay and Jake might have been included in SM's thoughts. Maybe wages would be a stumbling block?

    Looking at what is left its a fairly below average squad.

    SM really has his work cut out to build a decent squad.
