Tewksbury Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Here's one I made, it's a bit different to the Star one. They've also included loans in that number, so it's a bit misleading. Edited April 15 by Tewksbury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If in the Championship would offer deals to Bannan, Bernard, Iorfa, Vaulks and maybe Palmer. For League One would add Byers and Johnson to the list. Undecided on Dawson but would be as number two. Brennan, Gregory, James, Wilks, Windass and Bakinson to be released regardless of Division and Johnson and Byers if we stay in Championship. I thought Bambo was on loan. So we need to endure him another year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowl Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I can see Bannan getting another contract simply because Chansiri seems to like him Vaulks deserves another contract for 2 years I didn't realise that Dawson was 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer Bannan and Palmer League 1 average pay for a year, take it or leave it. If Bannan wants to do his coaching, he gets £11.44 per hour with the other apprentices.

Tylluan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Anybody picking anyone from that list, apart from Vaulks and Bernard, regardless of which division we're in isn't building for the future. If we're in L1 then we have to follow the Ipswich route and go young, fast, and agile. There are players in there, spread of a lot of clubs, that could gel together and compete in the Championship. Not give Palmer, Iorfa, Bannan, Johnson etc another just to get us out then have to start the rebuild when the prices go up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Palmer signed for Coventry in June 2022. Agree makes no difference to signings and to Bernard staying. Bernard signed a one year deal in the summer and as people said to use the club as a stepping stone. He made his mind up last summer he was coming for a year to get himself a better move. Good luck to him, from what ive seen of him he will get a Championship club not much better than we've been since Rohl arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Nickelarse Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'd be happy enough if we offered terms to: Bannan - one year reduced wages. Palmer - one year. Not a world beater but very useful utility player Vaulks - one/two years. Tidy squad player. Bernard - two years but wouldn't break the bank to keep him. You could make a case for Iorfa but injury record is a concern. IMO we need to continue with the policy of last summer - recruiting players that have potential to improve and become assets of value. That said it's a process that isn't realistic to expect to be totally completed in the summer window so some players will need to be retained for a bit longer than some fans would like.

Otto_Man Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Probably in the minority, but I wouldn't bother with Bernard even if he wanted to stay. Not half as good as he thinks he is and always going to be looking for something "better". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think somewhere in between those two extremes would be in order!! We were in crisis mode last summer with the prolonged season and with Mooregate. Personally I think we may well have moved on from Bernard but for those factors. I would expect - certainly hope - that it's sorted one way or the other very early in the summer. Either commit for 2/3 years or we move on quickly to other targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 11 days from the Monday after Spain when we made our first signing to the first game v Southampton the following Friday. We'd already missed pretty much everyone by then. A few panic loans to make up the numbers and a few good, long term signings. Didn't help that in the 2 positions of need, LB and CF, DM had already signed Johnson, James and Gregory, possibly blocking better alternatives. In my head, Bernard has always been lumped in with the loans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those bashing Chansiri for the summer, DM was on record talking about talking to new recruits before the playoff final, so there was obviously a recruitment plan in place and underway before the end of last season. It would be interesting to find out who they were and what happened to that plan. We have recruited for a 4231/433 for the last few years, we couldn't play it because we had to accommodate senior players. I expect that there's a plan in place and it will be actioned whether Röhl stays or goes, with someone like Pedersen or another Red Bull type manager brought in to carry it on.

The thing is, the work on player identification and targets was done to an extent that we let Downes go to Blackpool, job done, well before the end of the season. I fully expect it to be the same this season. Bernard is important to us in that if he gets a decent contract elsewhere, and if other loans like Ugbo or Poveda kick on to better things, this will only help us in the market this summer.

It was more about him wanting to use the club as a stepping stone I was reacting to. But I don't want to spoil your assertions trying to infer racism by stating the reality of the situation. And yes growing up in the 70s and early 80s in a 99.5% white area of Sheffield there was overt racism, Hillsborough had overt racism. However us children of that era did call it out, the acceptance of black players came from our generation more than any other, the re-education of our parents came from our generation. But apart from that we are all still racists apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we offered so many (thanks for getting us promoted) extensions and brought James in from Blackpool suggests that was the plan all along. Moore was never going to be the man to rip that team apart and go with youth. That's why there was all this talk about the plans were already in place and agreed on. Couldn't do that without a load of pre-agreements and/or a fair amount of tapping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you've said in other threads, probably the one on the Cov /Palmer situation that you participated in the songs/ chants back in the day? Anyhow, the point was that he's apparently leaving because of that gross event not because he's saying he's bigger than the club, and despite his assertion his contract was always seen as a stepping stone for his career it's more than fair to assume that what happened to his mate is the primary deciding factor as to whether he stayed or not. According to Ty apart from a Turkish team, (IIRC) no other club has actively and consistently been reviewing his performance data which tends to show that he's not on anyones radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
