Retained list - 2026

[Edgar Allan Poo]

How would you get rid of the three being kept? You cannot just kick them out.

It not like they would be homeless.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Is Shackelton secretly giving favours.

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Is Shackelton secretly giving favours.

Still under contract unfortunately
Word is if his injury problems persist we'll look at paying him up

 

[Rob86]

Would have been good to keep around, but have no idea what the wage demands were and dare I say it, who we have lined up

Not the end of the world him leaving really, but then you look at the players on the longest contracts - Tanganga, Chong, McGuiness, Cannon, Matos & Burrows and think oh f*ck.

I’m not sure it matters who the manager is this season, it’s unlikely they’d be able to recruit well enough to turn this around and have us pushing promotion. I’m just hoping Wilder doesn’t add more dross to the group.

Fotmob, Transfermarkt, Soccerbase, Wikipedia, WhoScored, Premierleague.com, OptaAnalyst are among the sites who's got it wrong then.

Should've checked Player Ratings on S24SU.com

Peck wont be and most likely Hamer gone even Ohare and the rest are shyte

Getting rid of those 3 means paying them off to go.

To be fair to Danny Hall, a U-turn on Riedewald seems very possible considering the SCR rules were only agreed by clubs last week. As I commented above, those rules will significantly affect the shape of this summer for us, meaning we need to make huge cuts to the wage bill (something like halving it, depending on the level of income we can achieve from player sales). We won't be able to make those kind of savings just by releasing Tom Davies, Mee and Ings. We'll also have to move out a lot of players who we would rather have kept. We don't know yet who we'll actually be able to sell, or for how much.
So even if we had been planning to take up the option on Jairo before last week, backing away from committing to his wages for another year would now make financial sense under the new rules.

New rules or not it wouldn’t have made sense having a top end high earner who can only work 2 3rds of his shift

Due to expire next summer (2027) unless he is long term I can’t see us paying him up unless we are at max of squad level and look to promote a development kid instead
