Aministration

Swindon Town saying after league 2 finished the season that starting the next one will be a far more difficult decision, without financial aid from somewhere having had discussions with fellow chairman fears we could lose 30 to 40% of clubs at lower level.

eventually we will find out how much wolf crying and how much truth there is from statements from clubs about their finances.
 
Agree with you on that Andy, would you gamble on 2 keepers or take up 1 of the 2 spots outside match day 18 with one.
Interesting it mentions 8 home grown academy players within that.
Savin, Perritt, Sykes, Mohammed, Williams, Ogle, Gilboy, Martin have all had 1st team exposure of some sort; although does it really imply only a further 12 players are permitted?!?

Yes it doesn't make it clear is it a 20 or 28 man squad if it's only 12 a lot of players out of work by the way don't think Gilboy came through our academy.
 
Agreed not clear at all. Alex O’Neill another one, although Andy Scott came in and signed pro contract so he wouldn’t count which is a shame.

Scott still under contract I believe, problem with everyone having small squads match day 18,s would become predictable.
 
Yeah he’s still contracted for another year until 2021 - problem is though he wouldn’t count as an academy player.

Just done a bit of reckoning up counting the 8 you mentioned plus who I think are in contract we have 19 plus excersise Hughes option that me thinks is 20 if that becomes a rule next season that's our squad sorted.
 
I’m fairly confident this is situation at moment ....

Under Contract - Savin, Sykes, Ogle,LKS, Finley, Pritchard, McConville, Bishop, Charles, Scott
Club has option - Edwards, Johnson, Hughes, Maguire, Carvalho, Barclay, Mohammed, Doyle
Out of Contract - Evtimov, Clark, Zanzala, ZFA, Sousa, Conneely, Watson, Rodgers


Unsure about youth players but imagine apart from ones above all expire this summer.
Perritt, Williams, Bolton, Martin, O’Neill, Gilboy
 
We've got options on everybody Clicker and Seamus

No idea where this "home grown" rule come from!!

The "home grown" EFL uses is any player from any English pro club qualifies;

Colby is fine he came through Notts system; Joe B is fine via AFC W

Fairly sure that's the plan going forward; but "our developed" players will become vital in the future.

also counts if you sell them; eg Connor M
 
Sorry ?
Did you miss out the word except ?
No one year options for Clark and Conneely.
The only option you have is to make an offer that is acceptable to the lads.
 
Sir;

How does anybody know other than JC that this isn't happening?

Also very difficult to offer anybody anything ( other than the lads already with contacts past June 30th) when we don't know, central funding, cup prize funds and most importantly when we can start generating income from crowds

Yes missed the word except; please accept my apologies.

fixtures would normally be out in about 4 weeks time. is that going to be put back. they have a lot of work to do in sorting out next season from its starting date with fans. the only light is that a lot has changed in the last 3 months so a lot can change in the next 3.
 
Will we get the necessary 12 clubs voting to end this season tomorrow, I think it would be madness not to end the season tomorrow?
