Your Biggest Surprise of the Released 17

[RexCathedra]

Mark my words, it'll take two years, but Gargan will score against us in the not-too-distant future....knee maybe worse than let on at first?

 

[Storer68]

Could we jusy understand the process here.

They are all out of contract.

League rules say that we have to offer them the same terms as their previous contract, and if, or more likely, when they refuse that , then they are out of contract and can leave. If no-one comes in for them , then they can reconsider the offer made to them.

We could of course offer them better terms than they were on.

mayo gone at last

Biggest surprise jarrett and Loft

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Exactly what we needed, complete overhaul. Now lets just see who Slade brings in to build our squad.

Most shocked about Sullivan, Fraser and Loft. Thought they would get a deal as well as the people that did.

 

[Daddies_Sauce]

Sullivan, we will end up rueing the day we let him go

 

[Normandy seagull]

I do however think we need to trust RS judgement. Some of the over-reaction on here is incredible

 

[wizo7]

dissapointed by sullivan and lofty going, quite like them!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Some of the over-reaction on here is incredible

Yes indeed.

Can't understand anybody being shocked by Hinshelwood being let go. He's suffered some horrendous injuries over the years, fair play he's got himself back, but he's nowhere near the player he was when he first came into the side. He looks slow, he's error prone, and towards the end of the season he made me nervous every time he got on the pitch.

Fraser is possibly slightly unlucky, but like somebody said, the only reason players get released is because the club declines to offer them more money than they're already on. Presumably Slade thinks he can get better for the wages we pay Fraser. Plus he's never quite made himself a regular, he's always been on the fringes.

Sullivan: well all things considered, there wasn't much difference between him and Kuipers last season, both made mistakes. The problem for Sullivan is presumably that Kuipers is on a longer contract, one of them needs to go because we need a better keeper for this level and can't be paying three pro keepers, so it's not going to be Michel.

And Loft had some good games at the end, but ultimately I don't think he's considered to have the pace necessary to be a success at this level.

The rest are either no surprise, or not relevant because they're not our players anyway.

 

[Cpt. Spavil]

ill miss sully cus he's a very good keeper for his age, and ill miss robinson cus i feel he still had something to give at the club

but i do trust slade and im hoping this wont be a mistake at the end of next season

 

[Storer68]

Surely jarrett HAS to be the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT / WASTE OF SPACE last season. hardly a suprise seeing hime shown the door

 

[element]

Much as it pains me to say it, my father is forever going on about there being money for the stadium, so why is there no money for decent players and with this clearout, I'd imagine money will now be forthcoming to build a promotion chasing squad...

The wisdom of age!?

 

[Marc1901]

fraser !
he has been quality in midfield to help us stay up
gutted

tosh - he's been a poor mans oatway

mind you you don't want to annoy him - might tell his grandad!

 

[Storer68]

I don't think that's true. You can offer them what you want, as we did with Mayo and Hart last year when they took a pay cut.

I think the rule you're talking about is when an out-of-contract player is under 24 and therefore compensation must be paid if another club wants them. So, if for example, we wanted to keep Fraser but he agreed to join another club, compensation would have to be paid if we had offered him at least what he's on now. But had we offered him less, the other club could take him for free. As far as simply negotiating with out-of-contract players, I'm sure you can offer them anything.

might be - i was just spouting off about something i KNOW NOTHING ABOUT:yahoo:

 

[Shinbreath]

floating around mid table in league one then fraser and loft are good enough - if you want to be pushing for the championship though and staying there, as russell seems to be wanting to do, then they are probably not

its good to see a manager attempting to move us forward, as opposed to retaining the players in a side that struggled for 75% of the season

Spot on

I think we should take all of the activity that has happened as a measure of what RS has in mind for the future of this club.

Think its ridiculous that some people on here have been branding words like "f*** up" and "backlash" already...

I'm looking forward to the coming weeks to see what surprises will unfold.

Bring on pre-season then lets start 09/10 whippin' some serious butt.

 

[Steve Foster]

Fraser ..........maybe?

Well done Slade, for being bold.

Too many non descript players at our club. Quality not Quantity next season please.

I have more faith in Slade than some of our recent manager's. This man knows what BHA need to get promotion. He is turning into an excellent Manager at all levels.

 

[Steve Foster]

Sullivan, we will end up rueing the day we let him go

No we won't
