    I believe both knew but it is the manner in which the club notified them. Its surely professional courtesy to have a 5 minute meeting to explain and thank. Even a phone call.

    Seems very cold to make it official with a tweet.

    #bantamsfamily is a bs hag tash.

    I have staff at work on 12 month FTCs. If we don't require them after the 12th month, I don't just expect them to stop turning up on the first day of the 13th month, we let them know their services are no longer required.

    It's not on the employee to ultimately read the clubs mind despite the outcome being seemingly obvious.

    Very true. That’s how it should be done. However there is zero proof any of this is true. We all believe everything posted on Twitter don’t we?

    Perhaps he didn't tell his wife because he knew how she would react?

    Will they sign a new improved deal?


    - Charles Vernam. I would err on the side of No after turning down vastly improved deal

    - Charlie Wood. Yes plus inflation

    - Elliot Watt Yes but vastly improved terms

    - Levi Sutton Yes plus inflation

    - Luke Hendrie. Yes plus inflation

    - Matty Foulds Yes plus inflation

    - Paudie O’Connor Too close to call but err on the side of Yes but vastly improved terms

    Let the debate begin.

    I hope I’m wrong about Vernam

    If the club did this with previous retained/ released players, then he'd have known what to expect. He's been here 3 years so it won't have been a surprise to him. Also, wasn't he the players go between on club matters? If so he could've addressed this and made sure the players found out first before the supporters.

    I actually think he's carried himself well and wish him all the best, as with the rest of them, but it's time to get rid of the soft underbelly at the club and get some strong characters / leaders in the place.

    We all know you won't believe it until you've interviewed all the released players and their wives under oath.

    Is this the latest bandwagon one leaps aboard .?

    One couldn’t give a toss, but seeing as you asked.

    Oh yeah, whether it's true or not I doubt we'll ever find out!

    Well if that's true with regards finding out on twitter I'm with you poor form, new start under Hughes and IMO as he would have been involved with those decisions he should have told them personally, and seeing how he goes about things (very professionally) I'd have my doubts that's the way it was done, she only need to read the forum I posted not long after Hughes had come in he didn't rate ROD and would be looking for a first choice in the closed season, nothing like a scorned wife,

    I would hope if the likes of Watt, Paudie or Vernam do leave they go to a club in a higher division or I believe they might regret it if there still in league two even with a few bob more in their salaries.

    I believe the main reason he stayed at Valley Parade was to develop under McCall although he'd had better offers.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^100%

    In his footballing days he never shirked a tackle I'm sure telling a player he is not getting a new contract would be something he would do, sacking people you have worked with isn't easy but players know that's the part and parcel of football a new manager comes in and doesn't fancy you as a player your contracts up and the decision is made sorry the club are not offering you another.

    Micah Richards said Hughes hated confrontation. Maybe this is an example of him shying away from the difficult conversations.

    I'm a bit surprised that we've gone for Hendrie but I guess that although he's not exceptional he is consistently decent. I'm also a bit surprised (but not disappointed, because he is very versatile) that Sutton has been offered a deal because he'd not got much game time towards the end of the season.

    And finally, I'll be sorry to see Cooke go, we do need to freshen up our options at the business end of the pitch so it's not unexpected to see him leave but I suspect that of all the ones we're releasing, he'll have the most suitors after him.

    I should have typed if as IF, because whilst it would be disappointing from the club if true, I do think this has a similar 'sour grapes' vibe to it like the comments made by another ex keeper's wife a few years ago. ROD's tweet has no hint of ill feeling towards the club at all.

    4 years, 137 games, captain. It’s been some ride. Want to thank everyone for their support over the last 4 years. I leave with my head held high knowing I’ve given everything I can both on and off the pitch. I wish nothing but success to the club going forward…

    Not sure where ROD lives but last Saturday after the game my granddaughter went up to McDonald's in Wibsey and took a picture of ROD asking me if he was a City player, I said yes our goalkeeper why, she said a young girl in a car had spoke to him he'd gone into his car and given her a City shirt. I believe ROD would have known he would not be getting a new deal and can't believe the club have not dealt with the release players in the correct manner.

    He could have stayed in his job, all he had to do was come off his bloody line every now and then.....
