    So what. It's about the future now. Sutton ain't good enough. Another red flag.

    Surprised at Sutton but he’s a good squad player to have though. Expect it’s a 1 year deal so he may look elsewhere for added security. Cooke is a shame he’s defiantly up there with the better players in the division but think it will do him and us good to move on!

    Imagine, those who are offered contracts along with those under contract...

    That would be a squad of 20. The same squad that had bottom half last season. A number with continual injury issues, such as Angol.
    Hughes is showing capability but he is no messiah.

    Its the want to retain the types of Sutton and Hendrie, that is a red flag. We have history at this level under Rupp. I hope we are not seeing the same old again.

    Happily be proven wrong.

    He was “ good” because a lot of the mixed dross around him made him “ look good”. He doesn’t fit under MH in all honesty. I said recently the writing has been on the wall a fair while.

    I know be we shouldn't be counting him in the numbers when considering positions which need filling though, get him shifted somehow if we can but can't see him playing much at all next year

    Do you know something we don’t or are you just speculating?

    At Rochdale away I was in line with him most of the first half and couldn't believe how bad he actually was close up... a couple of things he did he'd genuinely have been laughed at in Sunday League

    At the time he was probably our best midfielder

    I could see Cooke signing for Hartlepool with it being near his north east roots, or maybe Harrogate.

    It’s maybe sinking in to me now , me thinking of top class players coming in and a lot going to happen with players going out and getting exciting new talent coming in .But it’s going to be a long slog next year with rumours of us wanting miller back,Good luck mark your going to need it

    You are right mate, can't afford 20+ first choice players.

    You really are going to have to let it go, Kevin 1954 is like a dog with a bone. To be honest I'd heard the same rumours but for the life of me I can't remember where, too much Saltaire Blonde I suspect. I didn't want to say anything because Kevin 1954 does like his facts.
