LOADS of Brighton Players - ALL Released

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

McFaul must have looked proper shite in training

 

[Seagullible]

very sad to see Butters, Mayo and Hart go. I'm sure they stated that McFaul was signed so we could have a better look at him hence the short deal. Surprised by Rents as thought he looked ok and Reid is a great bloke so hoep he finds a good club

 

[Knotty]

McFaul looks more and more like a PR stunt to lessen the blow of losing Hammond...

Still, I think the players we are letting go are the right ones and we can hopefully look forward to signing half a dozen BETTER players and pushing for PROMOTION.

Why would the club need to bother with such a PR stunt?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Given that the three senior players have been at the club so long, the least Wendy could have done is give them a run out for a few minutes in front of the Withdean crowd against Swansea.

Mayo DID get a run out.

Hart has a testimonial to say goodbye at.

 

[Gully]

It is sad to see players leave, I would certainly wish them all well for the future, wherever life may take them. However, this thread pretty much sums up NSC, at the end of every season the fans call for a massive clear out to free up funds to bring in new players, well you have got what you want...yet some are still not happy.

We will now see a pretty large change in the dynamics of the squad for next season, who is to say that some of those who are brought in will not be better than what we already have, that the players who remain may find themselves warming the bench or turning out for the stiffs.

It is now up to the board to back DW with funds to fill the gaps that have been created.

Onwards and upwards!

Why would the club need to bother with such a PR stunt?

Because Knight was under a lot of pressure, and said something about 5 signings on the radio....

Because Knight was under a lot of pressure, and said something about 5 signings on the radio....

Well it wasn't a very well conceived PR stunt then, people were complaining from the moment he signed, he was young, free, and they'd never heard of him. I find it far more plausible that we took a punt on an unproven young player which didn't work out.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

when did we last have a clearout of this MAGNITUDE?

 

[Silent Bob]

when did we last have a clearout of this MAGNITUDE?

Adams in 1999?

 

[Nemesis]

when did we last have a clearout of this MAGNITUDE?

In Micky Adams' early days?

 

[Mendoza]

so confirmed players still left are??

Keepers - Kuipers, Winterton

Defenders - Elphick, Lynch, Whing

Midfielders - Cox, Robinson, Thomson, Fraser, Skinner

Strikers - Murray, Forster, Gatting, Dixon

 

[Caveman]

So technically at the moment we have no left fullback at the club?

I wonder how much it would have hurt to have had Garry Hart, Kerry Mayo and Guy Butters on the bench and all came on with 10 minutes to go?

I think the treatment of Guy Butters is shoddy really. If he was not going to keep him why didnt he let Guy go to Gillingham when everything had been agreed ? Also why not let Garry hart stay at Havant. What was the point in recalling him?

i am also a bit sad at martot going...I actually rated him.

this squad is very thin now and it will be interested how many replace the following:

racon
westlake
richards
butters
hart
mayo
mcfaul
reid
rents
martot

10 players most of them experienced is quite a clear out

Dave, you have to let the players go to free up wages and we can then start bringing in new players...thats where you'll see what Barry Lloyd has been doing.

It's sad to see the older pros, but we are moving ever nearer to Falmer now and we need new faces!

 

[ali jenkins]

Thats not even enough for a matchday squad!!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Adams in 1999?

the answer my friend is the same season that we DESTROYED division 3

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

so confirmed players still left are??

Keepers - Kuipers, Winterton

Defenders - Elphick, Lynch, Whing

Midfielders - Cox, Robinson, Thomson, Fraser, Skinner

Strikers - Murray, Forster, Gatting, Dixon

They are all still in contract

 

[Don Tmatter]

Kerry,OGH, Big Guy & Reidy for all you've given for the club, but if we're going to progress, the time is right to let them go and the others who've proved to be not up to the job.

 

[ali jenkins]

They are all still in contract

I thaught FDM was out of contract in the summer??

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

Kerry,OGH, Big Guy & Reidy for all you've given for the club, but if we're going to progress, the time is right to let them go and the others who've proved to be not up to the job.

I think lewis will take them on

 

[Mendoza]

They are all still in contract

thats what I meant, THREADBARE so far, must have some good things lined up to have released this many, an EXCITING summer lays a head for us

I am not saying its wrong that we have cleared players out at all. I am just a bit saddened that Wilkins didnt give Martot, Butters and Hart a run out on saturday as a thanks.

I just hope there is money available for transfers or loans...especially as Falmer is now a reality
