Disappointed but not necessarily surprised about Mantom. I know he’s blown hot and cold and will be on decent L1 wages but would have liked him in a L2 midfield
There’d be a lot of league 1 and 2 clubs after McL.
Someone would be prepared to take a chance on Barratt and probably be glad they did.No-one would want to sign John White.
Imo, mantoms one of those players who clearly has good footballing ability, but his attitude seems to let him down. Maybe it’s just his personality but he never seemed to click with the rest of the squad nor with fansI'm in two minds about Mantom. He never looked the standout player we expected but he went quietly racking up assists almost without being noticed (even this season he stands 10th in the division's assists table).
Hyam hasn’t to be one of our worst signings in our history! Thank **** he wasn’t on a longer contract!
Of the 3 that we offered contracts I’d be happy with McLaughlin and Barratt as we are always short on wingers! McLaughlin I cannot see staying unless he cannot find another club to sign him.

Either way, odd to me that here is a player who kept a younger Anthony Wordsworth out of Ipswich's side!
Mantom always seemed to be a scapegoat with fans and I never fully understood why. Yes he had his bad games, but what League One midfielder doesn’t? In my opinion he’s a key reason as to why we stayed up last year, as he really dug in and dragged us through the last few games under Bond, but for some reason it went under the radar.
Or we will win more than 4 games next season and forget he ever existed!Maybe he’ll be another Atkinson, you don’t realise how much you miss him until he is gone.

I’m sorry to disagree, but Mantom gave his all only a handful of times. Compare him to the likes of Timlin, who would always give his all. Don’t get me wrong, mantom was a good player and his ability was obvious, but if you don’t give 100%, no matter how good you are, the fans won’t like it. That’s why he was so disliked imo.I actually liked Mantom. I felt for him last season, as he was being asked to a job he can't do. Yearwood wasn't replaced and Mantom was expected to do that job. Set up to fail from the outset under Bond.
He'll get a club no problem. Still think he'll get a league one club. But maybe in the current climate, with so many players out of work, he'll have to go further down.
Either way, I wish him the best. He always gave his all.
Depends what young is these days Macca is 30, thats younger than me lol.It normal circumstances I would probably agree about McL and Barratt being wanted by other clubs, but with the number of players expected to be released, that may not be the case. McL isn't young and Barratt spent a year injured and has hardly played any League football; however one advantage is I doubt he would be expensive for anyone.
