Appears he treated the players like children last week, hes gonna lose the changing room before too long. Only 5 or 6 being released im told, which isn't enough
Only 5 or 6 couldn't make it up. Sadly am confident this information will prove to be accurate as well.

I suspect some of the offers made will be unacceptable so whilst they might not be released they will move on.
My gut feel is that anybody over the age of 21 will be free to depart..... and a taxi load will arrive from Cumbria unless they get promoted.

Only 10 are out of contract in any case: Facey, Buchs, Foley, Powell, Goff, Bowditch, Bridge, O'Toole, Iaciofano and Coddington. So if 6 were released only 4 would be offered terms. That could be Goff and Bridge plus 2 others. If true of course.

Fair point Assuming the loans go back Who does that leave over the age of 21 Taylor Pierre Turnbull Williams JM Hoskins Cornell Waters McWilliams is U 21 but i reckon he could move on Probably stuck with Hoskins and Cornell but reckon the rest will get offers to depart the PTS

Could be a very busy summer ahead. A new team required.

Curlio will be here next season. His job was to keep us up.
Utter rubbish . People state this as though it is fact . It is not fact , it is assumption. Assumption I don’t buy into . The expectation of Curle was much more than keeping us up , in my opinion .

That's the fault of KT then, because that's what he said when he appointed him.

I’m intrigued to know why Dean Austin got pretty much an easy ride and almost unanimous support from the fanbase while KC seems to have the opposite. Is it because of the fact that DA came across as a “decent bloke” and peppered his interviews with fan friendly soundbites and how he set his teams out playing “attacking” football that was in reality completely ineffectual? KC has come in and is pretty much the opposite, his demeanour is pretty reserved and interviews not as articulate as DA and of course his style of football has been more functional/pragmatic but whether you like it or not he is working with an amalgamation of several rubbish managers rubbish players. Unless I’ve overlooked anyone, he hasn’t brought any of his own permanent players in yet - in January I’m pretty sure he hinted that he had decided to save the funds for the summer recruitment. All I’m saying is we’ve got to give him a chance over the next few months to put together his own squad and then see how it goes into next season.

Yep, well said and correct. People seem to want pure attacking football in league 2, really worked that one.

Irchy seems to have come in from the cold with these pragmatic comments. By and large he is right, we have never really been a fancy dan side. (No offence Dan) . A somewhat noisy section on here seem to be demanding fast flowing attractive football when we clearly have not got the players or the skills. After any disappointing result they emerge from the shadows deploring the Manager and at least two of the players. KC has kept us up after a disastrous start and even sold our two best players! True the play offs have all but disappeared but alt least that is better than just escaping relegation like in previous seasons. I also get the impression that a few on here have exorbitant high expectations of KC and the players so when there is a poor result its raining Toys for a few days. Whats the point of demanding fancy dan footall without the player skills to implement it. Actually KC reminds me of CW in his early months here; we simply have to wait until next season and give the bloke a decent chance. We cannot keep sacking managers every six to 8 months to appease a few vociferous 'fans' on here.

Dont forget CW could be pretty direct and defensive at times too. Give KC a decent budget and he will hit it with league position, that is his record - level on budget or above and thats what he will do for us. Over to KT then!

People only liked Dean Austin because of his "let's go hunting" soundbite.

Until we've seen him say who he intends to keep on, work the transfer market in the summer, and after we've played a few games next season, its extremely difficult to judge KC on his medium-long term credentials as manager of NTFC. He's done alright overall. The squad as things stand isn't strong enough to challenge for promotion, I think thats a given. There were many games during Wilders early tenure where we played defensive long ball borefest football. He also had a lot more £ to play with during his first (January) transfer window when he paid cash for Sinclair. At least KC hasn't 'bought' Sordell So for me, he gets the benefit of the doubt, my full support and Ill just try to avoid getting too wound up during matches between now and the end of the season!

His 'style' of football hasn't worked in 20 seasons in this league

I would suggest the expectation was to get the full potential out of the squad of players available and build the foundations for the following season that after some trimming and adding performs to the budget levels allocated . I think we are a country mile away from that objective .
