At the end of the season, I always look forward to seeing who we're releasing.
I have to say after this horrendous season, that I'm not bothered about most of them.
We need to recruit several combative, ball playing, leaders, both at the back & in midfield. Jerry will leave (to Rangers for about £2m?) & he will be hard to replace, as good strikers are a rare breed.

That's half the problem those in contract will be hard to get rid off.

Thought Yates was also interesting Sunderland

I'd hope we'd get mere than 2m for Jerry? Proven 20 plus scorer in L1 and scored 13 in a struggling / relegation side in the championship. I'd much rather keep him, but I suspect you're right.

I'd love him to lead our attack next season, but he knows he deserves better than the L1.
We can't compete with the wages that he'll be offered elsewhere (I'm told by a source close to him, that Ollie Turton's wages almost doubled at Huddersfield & as he has a young family, he had no choice but to leave us).
Rangers News (see News Now) rave about Jerry & they're reporting that they may get him for £2m (rather than the £5m we previously wanted) following our relegation.

Another year on and a division lower would reduce the price massively.
 
Beesley, Holmes and Lavery looks like our strike force next term. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
 
Pool will get at least £5m for him. There will be plenty of suitors this Summer.
The problem is the money doesn't seem to get reinvested. I understand that Sadler is putting up money every season, but surely when we sell players and get money, that should be reinvested into the playing squad. Didn't seem to happen with the Bowler/Critch money and that's why we are getting relegated. Our best get taken and we don't have any chance of profiting from it in any way? Pointless really.
 
Just a question players with 1 year options do players have to accept the clubs offer & do the club have to offer them the same money or more or the player is free to walk ?
Also will they be able to offer players the same wages as this season or can they reduce them because of relegation.
Will players have there wages cut for dropping a division.
Any one got any answers?

The club can choose whether bring the 1 year option in to play. If the club chooses not to then the players can leave for nothing. There’s normally a clause in the contracts relegation lower wages, promotion maybe an increase in wages. That’s how I’ve always understood it

I am not being critical of your post as I both understand and agree with your point about re-investing players sold into the team, this would make the “Product Offer” more appealing and “should” increase attendances by playing more attractive football…..HYPOTHESIS

The problem is too many of The Fylde Coast’s Population are either individually “financially unable” or as in most cases “financially inwilling” to support Championship Football.
Therefore our “”Custodian” has to take the transfer money to help “balance the books” on a day to day basis or we would not have league football in the town at all…REALITY

Having fought hard and made sacrifices alongside many thousands of other NAPMers to get an owner like we now have, I am personally sickened by the “toys out of the pram” attitude some Poolsters have demonstrated in certain posts on this Forum recently.

We came up as a division 1 club and the towns population, whether due to “financial inability” or…..as in most cases ”financially unwillingness” have failed to move the club up to a Championship set up, so we are therefore returning to our current rightful place division 1.

I’ll certainly be getting my Season Ticket for next season as soon as they are on sale, whilst I’m sure most existing ST holders will follow suit, it’s the “One Game Johnny’s” that need to start buying Season Tickets too!
I respect some people may not be financially able to do so due to “economic impracticality” but they are very much a minority.

By buying an ST you will be paying around £14 a game.
I do believe Five Game Book Vouchers that can be exchanged for any match throughout the season should also be available for £100.
Obviously with these vouchers you are not guaranteed the same seat every game……a benefit ST holders only should enjoy.
Individual match tickets should be £28 so we can charge away fans that too, to generate more income into the club.

We ALL have our part to play in taking the club forward!!!

Thanks for the reasonable reply. The point is though that most football clubs simply don't make money and there is always a level of investment needed. Sadler has bought the club and I am sure that we will all be eternally grateful. In doing so, he has committed to putting in the necessary money. My problem is that when we get extra money, from selling Bowler for £4 million or getting money for Critch, that doesn't seem to get reinvested at all, instead it is just used to reduce Sadlers costs?

If that remains the case then how are we ever going to progress? Any time we get a decent player or manager they get taken away and we don't get any others in using that money? We got money for Critch, got an out of work L1 manager to replace him. We sold Bowler for millions and didn't buy any decent players to replace him. Doesn't seem right. That money, even half of it, could be used to buy some other really good prospects, we do well out of them for a season or two and then sell them on for a good profit again. That would be much better for all involved I would have thought.

I agree with your point that if we get a “windfall” from a player a “proportion” should be to re-invested back into the team.
I have a “hunch” that we may have done this in the case of the Critch/Bowler money by funding the wages for the loans of Premiership quality players such as Patino,Fiorini,Poveda,Goode etc.
The problem is they got injured or had discipline issues.
At least only being loans we can send them back to not “chastise” us with lower income back in Div 1.
I think SS’s plans for a proper training facility and community project in Revoe couple with the new East Stand are projects that could take the Club forward and make us more like a championship Set up unlike The Division 1 Club we have been since SS bought the club, despite two seasons im the Championship.
Enjoy the close season Pal.
We all need a break🤣🤣

It does appear that way. Poveda's wages are supposed to be very high. I just don't like that model at all. We are developing other clubs assets instead of our own. We should be recruiting smartly, developing those players and then they are ours to sell on for a profit and once again reinvest.

Hopefully we get back to that model.

You're not wrong! It's been a long old season!

All the best.

Good post, nice to see it laid out like that thanks. If it’s right, presuming no sales are forthcoming, I’d start next season with:


Daniel Grimshaw -Expires 2025 +1

Callum Connolly- take option

Marvin Ekipiteta-2024
Dominic Thompson-2025+1

Like to keep Thorniley and Keshi (and Nelson) but no idea if that’s likely.

There are a couple I’d let go if there were offers but doubt there will be, but I think there are plenty of quality L1 players there. CJ I hesitate slightly but he does contribute despite his limitations. I like maxi but suspect he’s a decent wage earner and grimmy would be my no.1 so probably can secure a decent cover for less.

I’d be letting Bridcutt, Stewart, Madine go sadly for obvious reason and suspect garbs is on decent money for a squad player.

Agree with that except:

Where's Andy Lyons?
Yates gonna leave surely
I might let Lavery go to free another striker space. Freshen up the attack.
Thorniley & Nelson not sure. We need left side.
We might lose Marv. Deserves Championship football at this stage of career.
Grimmy the other who might attract offers.
Keshi. I love him but injuries work against him.
Midfield and attack need overhauls. Has Kenny got bored?
New energy required in midfield and attack, possibly. Chance for Dobbie to create his own thing.

If we do all the above then the squad numbers 21(including Lyons) which is close to maxed out and we only have 1 keeper.
Maybe you want another go as I would want at least 4 places to bring in new players.
This is why I believe Critch was not as good as some suggest as 2 seasons down the line we are still dealing with the inflated squad issues

Holmes and Apter are U21, James and Dale have had successful loans at Wednesday and Portsmouth, and I'd expect those to become permanent, Yates is likely off as well, so there are 6/7 squad places open as it stands.

I'd probably offer Moore a new contract as backup keeper, at least one CB is needed, possibly more depending upon where Tharme/Casey are in the plans, at least one holding midfield player to replace Stewart/Bridcutt, a pair of wide players to replace the loans and at least one striker, perhaps two if Yates goes.

Quite a lot of work ahead this summer.

As happened this year, we'll have more than 25 players on the books I have no doubt and some just wont get in the squad (injured, involved in a court case or loaned out for example!) and as I said, we will probably lose a couple we'd rather keep and there are a couple I'd be happy to lose, but with contracted players, that requires offers, you cant just bin them off despite what some seem to think.

If you want more places though, perhaps you'd like to have a go!

Squad reduces to 22
Need another keeper 3rd keeper from dev squad.(u21)
Hubbie and Dougall to go
Yates probably sold
Keshi of the 3 out of contract if he wants to
That I think is down to 17 but
hopefully a couple loaned out from those listed.
 
Scott Twine went for 4.5million, and he was a prospect not an established player
Bowler only fetched 4m at a push, he was much more promising than Yates. If Rangers come in at 3m for him, he'll be going there. I think he's worth more, he's got 14 goals in a piss poor side with no service playing dinosaur football. I just know, the way we operate, we more than likely won't get 5m for him. Shame really, as you've seen much worse strikers go for a lot more than that at Championship/L1 level.

Fair opinions. Didn't realise it reduces to 22 I must admit.
I'd certainly not have 3 senior keepers, but you do then need an u21 who's pushing rather than one you wouldn't pick in a million years which we've had in the past. Need to find the next Grimmy of 2 years ago!
I think Dougall might go, but for me he would be very hard to replace with the same quality. Trybull looks decent, but is he going to be available week in week out? Dunno.
Hubby is a leader and warhorse type who can cover a couple of positions and is pretty reliable IMO, but if we can do better then great.

You don't need three keepers in league 1 just use the emergency loan system like we did bringing in Sam Walker when Maxwell got Covid.

Stuck with Beesley and Thompson until 2025 .. so much for the benefits of longer contracts!
 
Done really well at Lincoln this season.
Not sure when they have to decide whether or not to take up the option. Could do with the new manager being able to have a look at him before then. If that's Dobbie then he may already have an idea, but I doubt he'll have watched too many of his games this season.

Best summing up of our club I’ve read for a long time, superb post. The fact any of our fan base could criticise SS or accuse him of not backing the team beggars belief

Dougall in league 1 is a quality player. Strong, decent technique, rarely injured. Definitely keep him if my decision
