As long as the budget remains pretty much the same I have no issue with the lack of extra incentive to renew. The biggest thing for me is having the money to hold on to the better players and not have to go round either having a fire sale or a burst of mutual terminations, which could lead to two more seasons of rebuilding.
What better players? (Chuks accepted)
I will pay based on the hope this will lead to a root and branch Mick Quiche clear out.
In all honesty I really don't think we have a bad group of players. The problem we have is currently psychological IMO, caused by alleged bad man management and poor tactics by the previous incumbent of the Managers office. So Brittain, Gilbey, Chuks, Wootton (despite his critics he's a very good league one defender), Pawlett, Muirhead, Upson, McGrandles, Walsh and Agard (7 goals when he's either not been starter or just hasn't had any service is no mean feat.). Sow could potentially be in the list, but he's just not played enough to make a proper judgement of. Most of the players I've listed have had periods where they look like very good players, and IMO with the right coaching and system will become more consistent. I'd also add Tilney to that list but obviously he may have become shite.
Have to disagree. I think we have one or two good Championship level players (Aneke, Gilbey), a couple of top end L1 players (Walsh, Agard), and one or two with potential that are worth keeping to see how they develop (McGrandles, Nesbitt, Brittain, Tilney, Nombe). The rest are mediocre L1 players who wouldn't get into any of the top sides in this league. Our squad is bottom half L1 standard.
Really disagree on Wootton. I've watched all of our goals conceded back this season a few times and Wootton has been directly responsible for many of them. Really don't think he's good enough at all and don't think he deserves to have his contract renewed in the summer.
