I also note that Travis, Williams and Salisbury have yet to sign. If they do, we will have a squad of 23 before recruitment. How many more can the budget allow for?
So what about Travis? He can't have signed so should he be given a chance to sign or should he be given an ultimatum?

Couldn’t agree more Gazan and have said so in the relegation post, I think the retain/release list lays bare what a dogs dinner of both recruitment and retention the previous manager made. You have to feel sorry for Morris you could easily have doubled the release list and nobody would have batted an eyelid he has been left with a pretty poor bunch of players to work with. Almost 50% of the remaining squad are scholars so surely we are not going to repeat the mistakes of last season and consider any of them for first team football ? So if you take them out and Johnson does not sign ( don’t care one way or another average at best) we need to recruit approx 12 players ? Can’t see that happening either so how are the club going to be competitive next season not with a squad full of scholars that’s for sure.
