He's nowhere near good enough, but I don't think that really matters here. The only thought is "are they cheap?" If the answer is yes, then that will do.

I imagine his option will be triggered, just because it's the easy option for now.

Markanday will be one of them. The other a prem academy loan like ACD is my guess.

Cheap and easy. That's the only goal here.

Personally, I don't think they even bothered trying to negotiate an extension. This just kicks the can down the road for another year, and is much easier. Hedges definitely leaves for nothing next summer like the rest of them will.

When was the last time we managed to tie down a player with a new contract who was entering there final year? It just doesn't happen here.

This just isn't going to happen. We won't pay the wages that the likes of Trav, Tronstad, Hyam and Brittain deserve. My guess is that one might be sold this summer while the others walk out for nothing next summer.

My thinking is that some prem team will take Pears to be 3rd choice in the summer and Barrett will be promoted to back up behind Toth. Cheap and cheerful.

Buckley under contract until 2027, be one of the last out of the door, then it's just up to Val who is the only person contracted any later than that to turn the lights off on his way out.

We currently have no first team players contracted past 2027, so no surprise there.

It's only 1.5 weeks pay for any years worked over the age of 40, 1 weeks pay for anything before that. No idea how old Leslie is or the annual salary for that position so like you say guesswork with circumstances. Hopefully they have looked after her with an enhanced package but probably unlikely under this regime.

Dunno about that. Statutory redundancy pay isn't great, and i can't imagine the club has gone above and beyond for anyone if made redundant.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/job-vacancies/ Seems to be quite a few job vacancies on there, could point to a clue to anyone leaving?

Off sale until 21st May. They need a week for "admin" apparently.

Seems to be quite a few on twitter saying that some long standing employees, some with over 30 years service have been made redundant recently? Anyone know anything about that?!

I wonder if they have bothered to try and tie down Tyjon yet? Probably a really low ball offer is my guess and he will leave next summer for minimal compensation.

Just inflation. We paid 30k a week for a 35 year old Danny Murphy at this level back in 2012.

Yeah, he's had two loan spells there. One in 22-23 and obviously this season too.

Like Finneron last year, if Eze isn't announced now with the rest of them then I think its pretty safe to say he won't be staying.

Took a while but Corry Evans has at least found his level now.

We can afford better, just choose not to.

From the 26/27 season the September & October international breaks are being combined into one at the end of September, but they last for 3 weeks!

He has to sign a new contract first, as things stand he's a free agent end of next month.

Yep, and other clubs reinvest the proceeds of player sales back into the squad. It's common sense. (Apart from here)

Only when there contracts expire.
