They have an obligation to tell it to the EFL, and the EFL have an obligation to do so. I don't believe the actual club needs to do it themselves, they all just do because it will be public knowledge very shortly after it has been submitted anyway

We go through that many feckin players on permanents & loans that it's hard to keep up unless you're an obsessive.
So a kindly reminder of who the fuck is staying or going is quite helpful.
It's called PR.
You know , communication with your fans , keeping them onside.
So they might by some tickets.

Those with contracts will be staying until we decide to sell them .

Loanees will be sent packing

And whatever is announced will give no indication of what the squad looks like in 2 months time .

Not quite true - sometimes those whose contracts have ended are negotiating with the club for a new one.
Anyway , that's detail.
My point was , it doesn't hurt the club to mention what's happening with the squad at the end of a season when the manager has talked of it being bloated.
Why on earth do you favour secrecy ?

I dont favour secrecy, the club aren't being secretive , perhaps awaiting a few renewed contracts signing .. although theres not many out of contract ,Davis already announced.

Just dont think this years is a particularly big deal thats all .

It’s the Jairo situation I’m most bothered about. I’m not sure if we actually agreed to sign him or not for next season.

I dunno, wasn’t it an option for next season? 🤷
 
We have an option to sign him and the “Star” says he will sign and may commit to more than one year.
But nothing has been officially announced

Not fussed about Jairo staying. A midfield with him/Peck/Rothwell/Blaster isn't getting us close to contending IMHO. Need mobility/athleticism/presence/power and goals/creativity. None of these 4 offer this so I'd like a brand new pairing personally, admittedly unlikely due to finances.

Both Rothwell and Jairo are on similar salaries, if it was a choice I know which I would prefer. Unsure if Peck will be offloaded but he only has 2 years left on his contract so if it’s not this season, he will be cheaper next season if he doesn’t sign.

Peck's the only one I'd want to keep from that list. Jairo's a calming influence but neither dynamic nor a game changer, Rothwell plays in very short spurts and we can't carry passengers. I didn't get all the hype with Blaster pre-injury where I thought he was too slow to be top class. If he comes back next season without improving a lot he might be one of our own, but he won't be a very good one.

Me neither,doesn’t impress me at all,ponderous,can’t sprint,hardly a box to box type,plays in a 30 yard circle. There was a reason no one else was interested before us throwing ridiculous money around. I’ve just watched Kovacic in his latter years,now there is a midfield player.
 
Football is about opinions.
But regarding Jairo. Id be happy for him to stay. Ok He doesn't have pace. But as has been mentioned he is a calming influence. He reads the game well and breaks up play. He passes and holds the ball well.
If he can last 90 minutes I think he'll be an asset.
Just my opinion.

Probably a good 3 and a half months before we’re scrambling around for what’s left after everyone else is done.
