There are a lot of dead wood players under contract.
I think it's fair. I'd rather see all those players leave to get McGoldrick for another year. Austin proved to be too lightweight for the league and I doubt now that he's been first choice for a bit, Whittaker won't want to be second fiddle for when we sign a better attacking midfielder.
I think I speak for everyone on here when I say thank god we've let Whittaker go. Wouldn't have minded Austin staying but glad all the others have gone and hopefully a few of the dead wood can go as well.
It's *interesting* there's no quotes from Maynard up on the official site about the retained list. Even as a head coach rather than a manager, you'd normally expect to see something from him about the players moving on if Maynard was staying.
Fingers crossed.
