Retained List Announced.

If any player is expecting a pay rise they can do one

I would say the same for anyone of those offered terms who are thinking they can stay on what they were before as well

 

[Tampa Blue]

If any player thinks that they are too good for the National League then we don't want them at our club.

We will need work, effort and fight alongside ability to get out of this League - no room for passengers.

Sounds like Dieng isn’t staying according to CP.

Probably to be expected, he can get a league club. Not a good one but he'll get a league club.

He was a bit of a jack of all trades but would never be first place in any position really

As long as we don’t sign ex player has beens, ill be happy bunny

They're hardly in a bargaining position, and PB knows it. It's whether PB can source better players elsewhere that will suffer those wages ?

 

[rlb999]

There lies the riff, the players could be asking more than what they are worth, players who we might want to keep and they end up going. Not saying it’s a bad thing but we could be a few quality players down that won’t get replaced. The wage budget needs to be handled with care.

id love to know where these ‘few quality players’ have been hiding for the last couple of seasons.

if any of them don’t like the terms we’re offering, they can go and accept more money elsewhere.

when you say suffer those wages, we ran the fifth highest wage bill in league one and it was well documented. What do you have against the club trying to operate some sort of budget?

Rumours of an ex but not a has been.

That wasn't a dig at the club's wage structure. I was refering to Non League wages, which I suspect would be lower than what they're used to.

Jack Bridge?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

League 2 is Dieng’s ceiling. I think he proved that over the past 2 years. Absolutely replaceable

Would have liked him to stay but if he’s after more money than we’re willing to offer then he’s not a player we need to be breaking the bank for.

I agree. Reasonable player, but replaceable

[/QUOTE.

Wish him all the best but will be pleased if he leaves - Dieng/Mantom midfield was the worst I have witnessed in 55 years of support. He has put in a bit more effort since in other positions but still feel he will not be up for the fight in NL.

Tim to move on.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I would rather have Dieng wages goes to Cordner, as he would do much better job as an DM.

 

[NZamba Legend]

Dieng coasts. He makes a living, playing pro football is easy for him.
