Retained List for 2024/25 (released)

[SEA Grecian]

He will have booked his main holiday for shortly after the League One play off final. Any manager who books a holiday before then is asking for trouble.....

As a parent of school-age kids he will have booked his holiday to co-incide with the half-term holiday at the end of May.

As a parent of school-age kids he will have booked his holiday to co-incide with the half-term holiday at the end of May.

I doubt he takes school holidays into consideration, those in football have such a limited time window for holidays I’d expect them to take what they can and then see the school about authorised absences for the kids.

I'm not sure about Caleb Watts. He came to the club as an attacking central midfielder, and as of late, has been plugging a gap at RWB. He would effectively be filling Kites spot in the team.

I think he is quite a versatile player. Not spectacular, but could do a job as a utility player. He's still young and I'm sure we can improve him. Provided he is cheap, might be a decent squad player.

Maybe tomorrow is the day? That or an extension, maybe…

No real surprises, and at last someone has remembered James Scott ;-).

Interesting to see what happens with the negotiations list. My guess is Jules, Mitchell, and Watts will stay with Lee and Carroll departing.

Edit: A follow up graphic indicates all the 'negotiation' list have been offered contracts...

Just Tom Dean signing a new pro contract, the rest have been offered a contract?

 

[iscalad]

So 19 signed. 5 in negotiation. Surprised O'connor and King leaving.
