And the rest

If they are out of contract, which the ones he named are (Bridge, Hobson, Ralph) then i'd imagine they would more than likely be off anyway even if we could offer them a contract. They will not doubt end up at League 2 or League 1 clubs.

I'm worried that Kev mentions Ralph.

The league clubs will come to get easy pickings like vultures for our boys

Miley
Ralph
Bridge
Husin
Hobson

If they go then a lower half finish will be our best hope

I would snap your hand off for 20th place next season if we’re not under new ownership very very soon.

We have zero chance of keeping Bridge or Hobson. Miley I imagine will be off too, probably to an EFL club.

Will be amazed if the 3 amigos will still be with us next season either, and I wouldn’t blame anyone of them one bit to be honest

I can see us playing a lot of kids next season.

Relegation is it then

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

At least we will sell out the Jones Memorial ground.

Ralph is one of the only ones I'm not worried about losing to be honest.

That's good! We should be able to beat them.

Blessing in disguise a Joana

If this embargo gets lifted before pre season and friendlies which I very doubt it will at the start of July I think we all have to be honest and say the squad will look very different next season and don’t expect the team to perform to the same heights as this season, we are a club in deep shoot, I would expect at leat 7 players to move on even if they wanted to stay, we are in this national league for another two years at least, big shame but thats where we are right now.

Let me know when he wasnts to go and I'll drive him there myself! He's a good player but let's not forget the time he thought he was too good for us and went on an unsuccessful trial with Bournemouth.He had alot of egg on his face.

 

[Holy Joe]

I suspect the playing budget may need to be lower this season in order to stem the losses - so wouldn't surprise me to see higher earners, like these 3, move on

He's still good for a singalong, then.

I'd like to think we have enough of a scouting network to avoid relegation next season.

What is the rule for embargoes? How many players can we register?

14, I believe.

Doesn't really matter if we can't sign or can't afford to sign players.
