Who should be on the retained list?

[Exile on Spencer St]

Very honest ( what else?) and interesting interview with Andy Holt on the Fishy site.
Understand what he says about needing to restructure the squad but (and this is not a criticism) it’s ironic that, after winning their Central league unbeaten, getting to the semi-final of the Lancs Snr cup and the final of the Lancs Youth cup, it’s the U23s (and U18s) that will be disbanded.
Ged Brennan must also be wondering what success is.

[Twenty Eight]

I'm shocked by the lack of ambition.
Mid table league 2 will be considered success ?

Got to agree Exile....

It is almost as if we are now resigning ourselves to the fact, as if we have lost the fight and our identity..................

Did I miss something?
Listened to Andy Holts interview but don't recall him saying the U23/U18 squad will be disbanded.
He did say we'd had success in that area due to investment.
Naturally the loanees will depart (no great loss) & those out-of-contract will be considering their future, but surely JC will want to keep as much of our young talent as possible?
It's the old dead wood that needs pruning most.

Ask your butler to change the batteries in the ear trumpet, your Lordship .

Listen between 3:45 to 4:05 minutes - there’ll be no Central League, etc, just an “intermediate” squad.

There are enough good U23s and U18s to get into that squad but it sounds like they won’t be playing competitive games in their own right.

I dispensed with the butler's services years ago & these digital ear trumpets ain't what they're cracked up to be.

I understood it to say the U23's were going but nothing about the U18's so assumed they're staying.

Trimmed the list to include only those with a contract until 2024…as far as I know?

35 Bailey Sloan (signed on a two year contract until 2024)
37 David Morgan (contract until 2024)

9 Matt Lowe (contract until 2024)
27 Alhagi Touray Sisay (contract until 2024)

Of course some of those with contracts ending in Summer 2023 might get ‘contract extensions’ triggered soon????

Who knows?

Just a few thoughts.............

[Twenty Eight]

Well let's hope the club captain is on the retained list re Liam. 12 yellows and 1 red in 31 appearances tells a story.

[Dav1d]

Retained list out today due to ongoing negotiations.

Mitch Clark left the club.

[andyd]

It's out now no real surprise,s Clark let go with a view to look at his scenario after his expected ban is over, Mancini, Hardy, among the seventeen released which includes Woods who has been invited back to pre-season training all those with contract,s or clauses remain, Nottingham Rodgers and Conneely still locked in negotiations.

[VALAIRIAN]

List:- https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...retained-list/

[VALAIRIAN]

The only surprises for me are the three still negotiating, unless it is us and not them......
