Next Year

[Prufrock]

DSB has been tantalisingly dangling his carrot, promising youth and a fresh start, without committing to a thread.

Here's the list of contract expiries: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=23114&start=240" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Who'd you pick?

Amos

Wilson - Dervite - Holding - Moxey

--------------Spearing-----------------

-----------Mavies-----Pratley

--Clough-------------------------Clayton

----------------Woolery.


100 goals. Boom.

And certain liquidation.

Scary!! The fact alot of the players on the list could be crucial in out fight for next season

[Prufrock]

I'm assuming we'll keep Holding and Woolery as they're surely on peanuts.

[BWFC_Insane]

Holding and Woolery are out of contract.

I suspect every effort to shift Mark Davies, Pratley, Moxey and Spearing will be made to reduce the wage bill.

I think as things stand you have to count out anyone out of contract and all the big earners (though no doubt we'll be left with one or two).

That's a really good idea for a thread! I think I'll... oh hang on I've already done it.

But cheers Marco, I'll update the contract expiry thread with the confirmation that some of our kids are free in summer.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Rachubka (sell Amos)
Wilson. [somebody new]. Holding (on new contract). Moxey.
Spearing. Trotter. Pratley.
Clough. Samizadeh.
Woolery (on new contract)

[TANGODANCER]

Clayton is largely untried having been injured for a fair spell. Holding looks like a first name on the sheet in central defence,but not sure where Wheater stands wages wise or if he is a better option than Dervite. Personally, the Lord loving a trier, I'd like to see Vela and Feeney in our camp. It isn't quite like Barcelona announcing a fire sale..is it?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Contract expiry thread updated. In short, here's the contract endings:

2016: Paul Rachubka, Ross Fitzsimons, Hayden White, Niall Maher, Oscar Threlkeld, Rob Holding, Alex Finney, David Wheater, Quade Taylor, Neil Danns, Jordan Lussey, Tom Walker, Liam Feeney, Wellington Silva (loanee), Rob Hall, Emile Heskey, Stephen Dobbie, Tom Eaves, Kaiyne Woolery
2017: Lawrie Wilson, Francesco Pisano, Dorian Dervite, Dean Moxey, Josh Vela, Filip Twardzik, Jay Spearing, Liam Trotter, Mark Davies, Gary Madine, Max Clayton
2018: Derik Osede, Darren Pratley, Conor Wilkinson
2019: Ben Amos, Zach Clough

[Peter Thompson]

Keep Clough, Holding, Clayton, Walker, Woolery, Osede - the rest can do one for me

[Beefheart]

Had no idea Tom Eaves was still around!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Had no idea Tom Eaves was still around!

You weren't following the Seriously Second-rate Transfer Thread then!
He had hip surgery the back end of 2015.

Holding has shown a great deal of potential, could well get a better off er from elsewhere.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Holding has shown a great deal of potential, could well get a better off er from elsewhere.

He could, but having been here for nine years or so, might he not want to stay? Especially if the (new?) manager can convince him that he's going to build the defence round him...

I think there's a good chance we could build a decent side round a bunch of lads who've come up through the Academy, spiced and stiffened with a couple of tough old lags in key positions (maybe centre-back and central midfield).

[BWFC_Insane]

Unless Eddie has a dramatic change of heart, all of this relies on new owners. And then relies on their plans and ability to support them.

Therefore it is very hard to predict who may or may not stay.

I would certainly hope so, but we might not be in a position to offer him anything due to the ownership circus dragging on. If someone else does at Championship level, he'd be advised not to hang on I imagine.

Whatever happens, this is speculation. It would be just as hard to imagine what would happen even if ED was staying. It's just a bit of fun. You can speculate if you wish. Nobody's going to be scoring points on it, and even if they did and you lost, nobody's going to expel you from 'proper' discussions just because you might be a shit Nostradamus. So give it a go. it might be liberating.

Not sure anyone else would risk getting "Rob Hall"ed.

Plus Lennon confirmed we turned down a bid for him in Jan. That doesn't make sense if we're not confident we can keep him.

Not saying we can't speculate. Just that there are more variables in play than would be normal.

If we haven't got new owners by next season will we still have a football club as we know it to support for example? Let alone worrying about the first team.

You could have even more fun then by imagining two scenarios: One with ED still in charge and one with new owners. Have my go. That way you won't feel guilty.

For the porpoises of this thread, let us assume Bolton Wanderers still exists. All other variables are up to you to conjure with. I think we might have new pauperish owners who may or may not dump Lennon, but who aren't going to splash the cash in a wild manner. Hence why my 'team' is composed of mostly 'now' players.
