‘ Not getting new contract offers ‘

Sun Apr 02, 2023 12:42 pm

I was told yesterday:


Mark Harris and Connor Wickham won’t be getting a new contract for next season.

And I personally 100% agree.

Agree with you Annis - neither of them are good enough even if we're in League 1.

No surprise at all. Add Watters, Vontae Campbell, Tanner, Simpson and Bagan to the exit list too. None of these deserve to be anywhere near the first team even if we get relegated. Etete was the only 'project' from Morrisons summer signings that has a future.

Yes none of these are Championship players, maybe League 1 for Bagan?

Good. No sentiment in the position we’re in. Neither good enough imo. We need at least 1 proven striker to go with CR, that’s assuming we keep Kabba (which I hope we do)

Depending on whether we can bring a few in, I’d also get rid of Bagan and I’m afraid Ralls needs to go if we intend to progress.

Agree but the bigger question is who are making these decisions?

Contracts ending this season

Someone needs to be in charge this summer as we need to make a decision on the bottom 5 (IMO)

Yeah I think Wickham didn't do a lot yesterday time for both to move on .

I’m presuming a lot of decisions will rest on what league we are in?

Agree, none of those out of contract are worth keeping.

Right decision. Their contracts shouldn't be renewed, Championship or League One.

I'd let all of those out of contract go this summer and most of those named as contracted for nrmext season

In fact, we might as well let them go now that any motivation to join in the battle for survival has been removed... :ayatollah:

Back to square one Sven.

Bringing in all those cast offs this season was a big risk as far as I was concerned and the bottom line is did not work. I hope Tan has learnt his lesson now about going cheap. If he wants Premier football like he said he does for when he came over here a few months ago then he needs to invest.

By continuing to persevere with Harris, we accepted mediocrity as the norm.

Now we can do one of two things either replace with better or worse (of course).

If Tan is still with us next season ( fingers crossed he'll be long gone) we'll see exactly what route he is taking the club.

Both wouldn't get in some Sunday league teams tbh
Wickham couldn't get a league 1 or 2 contract so ended up with us because he knew somebody at the club so trained with us and we wanted to spent some penny's or he wouldn't be here. Harris runs about abit but that's about it. There's 1000s of players who can run also without clubs.

Loads ain't good enough in this squad and could go imo but what we going to get in lower league cack and freebies eitherway who are we to pay the bills within. You get what u pay for in most cases and the table does not lie :bluescarf:

Wickham has just offered his services to the Gas next season ;)

Re: ‘ Not getting new contract offers ‘

I would say the only players I would like to see in a city next season is O dowda and Kaba
Im not sure either will be here to be honest
