Question Going, going... gone!!!

[Floval Flyer]

So, big rebuild job for Sol. It will be interesting to see who else leaves before end Jan. Latest rumour on Twitter (Echo) is Isaac Hutchinson could go...

Only 8 players under contract post 2019/20 season. Out of the players up for renewal end of this season I’d keep only Elvis and Macca, oh and possibly Sam Barratt the rest can go. Lennon and Ralph can also go from the contracted players for next season.

thoughts on this anyone?

Gone
Andre Blackman
Ethan Hamilton
Layton Ndukwu
Simon Cox

Going
Rob Kiernan

Is Ralph on a lot of money? If he isn't I wouldn't mind seeing how he copes a division down before getting rid of him.

All of these choices will be down to Sol Campbell and Ron, but I'll go for an unpopular view by opting to keep Joe Shaughnessy, Harry Lennon and my strongest 'keep' would be Nathan Ralph. I believe all three have the necessary skill to do a job for us in FL2 when fully fit and on their game. Not surprisingly I don't want to keep Milligan but he may have something in his contract on the coaching front.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Cox was hoping to go into the player/coach role....clearly Ron & Sol thought otherwise.

I wonder if Milligan would want to take up the Managers position at Western Sydney Wanderers? Or anywhere but here doing anything really.

I’ve got a job going, but I’m not confident he’d be up to it. Still, if it helped out SUFC I’d suck it up

Lennon has the skills for L2, but his bones are made of dried pasta. Get rid and get someone in who can play at least 30games a season.

Wonder if Campbell wanted someone to go and Ron says NO they are part of the future who would win ......

I'm another one going for an unpopular view but I'm going to say that I think Milligan will have a decent end to the season.

I saw him have his best game against Tranmere and my mate who went to Accrington said that he was excellent and it was his best game of the season by far.

I did say it may be an unpopular choice, but I genuinely believe there's a decent footballer in there which may become visible in FL2.

Happy with that. Id lose Oxley, Lennon, Ralph, maybe Demetriou too without breaking sweat. I reckon a couple of those with expiring contracts may be worth a new offer too.

The majority of League 2 defenders can't kick a ball straight, that's why they're in League 2.

 

[Shrimpet steve]

No i disagree! If u get paid to play football you should definitely be able to kick a ball straight lol

Interesting.

If Sol doesn’t want someone to play, he won’t play them. Ron can only interfere so much.

And at the end of the day, if the right offer comes in, then we’ll all know that Ron won’t turn it down forever.

Let’s see if Hutchinson plays tomorrow.

What job is that?
