12 would be too many

i'd like to see Radford, G Horne, King, Thackray, Dowes and Thorman go

unsure on Moa and Maloney, as i'd like to see them given more game time before the end of the season.

i would agree but if we trim our squad by lets say 10 and bring in 7 players of better quality rather than quantity i wouldn't complain.

a big clearout is required otherwise we will continue to stuggle because of player power

agree would like Moa and maloney given say 2 year deals or 1 yearwith another year option and send them out on loan elsewhere and see how they develop

have heard a rumour that as many as 12 of our current players won't be here next season.

can only think of 7 we might want rid of really

Radford, Tickle, King, Thackray, Moa, G.Horne, Thorman,

If it's 12 it will likely be:

Tony
Radford
King
Tickle
G Horne
Thorman
Moa
Houghton (Loan)
Maloney (Loan)

and then who knows?

Hodgson??
Lee??
Calderwood??

Will Byrne be counted as one of the 12?

It would be extremely foolish to let our best player over the course of this season go.

i don't know whether byrne is included, this is heard down the grapevine but through a good source.

according to said source Agar regards king and thackray as no better than pub players!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would but he's out of contract at the end of the season iirc and I've heard nothing about an extension.

and he would be correct; they are both a liability when playing - they do have their good performances but are too inconsistant

King has been very disappointing, he only ever seems to play well a few months before his deal runs out

his 'goodwill' for being a FC fan has ran out

The same Paul King who signed a two year contract extension last year, two months after Agar was appointed Head Coach?
