Quite pleased with the retained list, gives us something to build on for League 1. Nothing about Curle signing a new contract but I am assuming he has as he is talking about who's gone and why.

I had forgotten all about Billy Waters. I thought he was going to be a good player for us when he signed, pity it didn't work out.

Be careful of your words - I don’t “hate” Smith at all .

He expressed it as an non threatening opinion cleverly disguised as an third party adjective. It did not appear to be an expression of intense loathing or even a threat. Perhaps Coolie and Rebel can comment?
Just an opinion tho Smiley

Surprised with some but not others.....the youngsters who showed a bit of promise and got near the first team (Hughes, Jay Williams) you could look at in two ways, they were decent enough and showed promise, but didn't have enough to break into a League 2 team so even less chance in League 1.

McCormack, decent enough but not getting any younger and financially we can not carry passengers, a player who might be fit only 50% of the time is taking up valuable suad space, money could be better spent elsewhere.

Turnbull, the big surprise for me......first team regular, decent performer, and chipped in with 5 goals this season......

Marshall seems to have had a clause giving him an automatic extension.....i'm glad he's stayed anyway as he offers us something else.

Thanks to all those who will no longer be pulling on the claret shirt......

Looking forward to watching whichever clapped-out journeymen, non-league upstarts and teenage PL loanees we can sign on the minimum wage next season

McCormack I would have liked to see in a player coach role, shame we only get one season from him, but I do get it. With Turnbull I assume its a financial decision. Came in the January when JFH was splashing the cash, we were in league 1 at the time also and with the current Covid situation assume its a case of biggest earners are gone.

There will be an unprecedented number of players available this year fighting for deals so whilst its sad to see them go, I understand the reasoning. Hell of a way for those players released to bow out though after a playoff final win.

There are some retained players I would be happy to see move on who i doubt we will be able to actually sell. Martin, Lines and Warburton have struggled at lg 2 level so cant see them making the jump, Smith needs to show improvement also IMO.

Going to be an interesting summer!

No real surprises apart from Turnball maybe, but the rest thats fair enough.

Sad to see Turnbull go but have pointed out, he was the last of the winter 2018 JFH signings with 5SU money

Can't imagine he was on a small wage then and although he's done well under Curle, probably doesn't warrant what he was on

That's all conjecture but reading between the words of what Curle's said, that's what I'm imaging.
He clearly has wanted to clear out and re-structure from the start. I'm sure we could afford what Turnbull was on but with Goode the better CB and priority to keep and more signings needed, could we have JT as one of the highest earners in the squad or would he have taken a deal at less cash... probably not

Either way it's still a massive shame. I really liked him. He was best mates with Hoskins off the pitch too so a little worried if that has some effect on that deal. I just don't want to see him sign now for a direct rival.

The rest of the list I can pretty much say was expected other than maybe McCormack but at 36 and with an even more packed schedule next season maybe it isnt so much of a surprise..

Just want to see who we get in the door now!

Very surprised at Turnbull not being offered anything - who knows, maybe he has something else already lined up so we moved straight on?

A shame but not a surprise about McCormack. On his day he was our best player, but the fitness issue means he's probably too much of a risk in the current financial climate.

Also sorry to see some of the youngsters go, but you never like to see home grown talent released. Hopefully they will find their way into non-league football and earn their way back into the league.

The COVID situation could see clubs fall like dominoes, the news from Wigan yesterday being the first of many I am sure. He's just talking about running the club to a budget which is sustainable given the likelihood of football in empty stadia beyond the end of 2020.

So is there any mention of Martin, Lines or Warburton who are clearly not good enough and probably won’t feature at all next season? would have liked to have seen them at least made available for free transfers.

I would imagine conversations have been had but the bottom has fallen out of the market for footballers wages in the lower divisions and it may be that nobody else can offer them anything like what they earn now so might be tough to shift, especially for someone like Lines.

Turnbull absolutely should have been offered something, without doubt. I'm sure he's realistic and understands the financial pressures affecting the club. It's the same across the board, so he's going to find the same wherever he goes. Following Curle's logic, he won't be fully motivated to play anywhere simply because he's on less money than he was with us? I think he has more about him than that and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous by Curle. Jordan has a clear affinity with this club and the fans, is a core part of the team, and should be here with us next season if he wants to be and it sounds like a big part of him does.

Isn't he supposed to be best friends with Hoskins? What if Hoskins now decides he wants a fresh start as well and doesn't sign a new deal? Further ramifications. Ripping up the heart of the team just like we did in 2016.

The reasoning behind McCormack makes more sense and he'll have clubs queuing up for his services. Anderson I feel sorry for, but he wouldn't necessarily get the games in L1 so hopefully he can find a L2 club quite quickly.
