I just thought I would put a list together of players that should be/ will be released in Jan/Summer for discussion not to provoke any arguments, so here goes
Richards
Daniels
Thomas
Macfazdean
Ramsey (End of loan)
Gomes
Lowery (Transfer/End of contract)
Ainley
Finney
Lundstrum
Kashkett
Porter (Retired)
Mandron
Quite a lengthy list
I completely disagree on Kashket and Ainley. Ainley has never been played to his strengths, or certainly rarely. And Kashket I believe could prove to be an asset as time goes on. Mandron will leave at the end of his contract and this season has not done so well, however last season he was excellent so loathe to write him off.
How long is Kashket's contract. If it's for two years and we get relegated then I would keep him. Otherwise not.
Ainley's contract goes beyond this summer so unless he wants away, he'll be here next season. I don't know about Lundstram's contract but he's still developing and he should stay.
The only player we would miss is Lowery and a striker/target man as I can't see Mandron staying and surely Porter cannot keep going.
Surely Mandron re-signed for 2 years (this season and next) after the initial one? Ainley & Kashket too I think are signed for next year - as unfortunately is Gomes! I fancy Finney is too - and they'll be loath to write off Academy products who might yet bring in a fee after 15 years investment in them.
No I was wrong - signed to Summer 2022, fooled by it being done last February: https://www.crewealex.net/news/2021/...igns-new-deal/
Finney must seem an attractive proposition to some Northern Premier League teams.
