Think I'm going to go to sleep happy, but then have a nightmare in the middle of the night whereby TM has quit and the board plump for the deadly duo of Steven Pressely and Andy Thorn as our saviours.

Bigger nightmare if they were player managers and they were in a defensive three with Webster as well.

Barton
Swanson (probably be one we'll look to pay off on deadline day if no offers come in before)
Webster
Connor Thomas
Nouble
Jackson
Martin free to find a new club
Turgott

List is probably shorter who will be allowed to stay :D



Barton
Swanson (probably be one we'll look to pay off on deadline day if no offers come in before)
Webster
Connor Thomas
Nouble
Jackson
Martin free to find a new club
Turgott


If we want to seriously get anywhere, then ..... all the ones highlighted from your list must be gotten rid of. The rest left on the list we should keep.

How does the retained list work? Aren't players are either in contract or not in contract?

Yea I don't think its a big deal, it will probably be a list of players who aren't being offered a new contract and players who are being offered a new contract.

Not concerned who we release or keep. I trust Mowbray will make the correct decisions whatever they are.

Spot on mate. I would say that he will only keep those he can't improve on for the same money or less. So goodbye to most of them.

What a tit. I hope Mowbray doesn't take my advice and RETAIN any of these! Not sure how I misread the whole purpose of this thread!

Working on the basis that these players remain in the first team, the vacant positions are where we need to strengthen:

New GK

Aaron Phillips
New CB
Reda Johnson
New LB

JOB
New CM
John Fleck
New LM

James Maddison (As CAM or second striker)
New ST

Squad players:
Lee Burge/RCC
Ryan Haynes
Jordan Willis
Aaron Martin
Danny Swanson
One of either Frank Nouble or Marcus Tudgay


Fuck off list:
Danny Pugh (Not played, but can't be relying on injury prone OAPs)
Andy Webster
Conor Thomas
Adam Barton
Blair Turgott (Hasn't played, so I assume TM doesn't fancy him)
Jack Finch
Simeon Jackson
Shaun Miller

Retained in bold.

I think the following will be off:

Pugh
Webster
Barton
Jackson
Miller
Nouble
Turgott

Squad will start pre-season as this:

GK: Burge - RCC
DR: Phillips, (Willis)
DC: Johnson, Willis, Martin, Harries
DL: Haynes
MR: JOB
MC: Fleck - Maddison - Thomas
ML: Swanson
ST: Tudgay - G Thomas

We need 7 players:

1 Left back
1 Centre back
2 new wingers
1 centre mid
2 new strikers

That would give us a squad of 22

Keep the younger players and let just about all of those not under contract go. Offer Reda a 20% pay rise. But divide it between the games and then offer it as a pay as you play. If he plays half the season he has a pay cut. If he plays the whole season :)thinking about:) we have a very good player for 20% more than a good player that only plays half a season. A player that could easily help get us promoted.

The rest can be replaced.

What makes people think Swanson will be retained?

1. He is under contract till 2016
2. St Johnstone manager hinted in an article that he wanted to sign Swanson for next season but Mowbray wants him back to look at him pre-season

I think that is a fair estimate of things. I certainly believe Barton and Nouble should go, I might be tempted to give Finch a bit longer to develop.

something tells me TM will give either Barton or Nouble another chance...but hope he doesn't. Perhaps it is me being paranoid?
