any indication as to when the retainees will give an answer

I think its only when Flitcroft knows what he has in his squad, will be when he begins to start looking at new faces.

 

I was going to be witty and say, sometime between now and the start of the season, but didn't Hugo Colace wait until the season had started before signing a new contract, the year he fecked off down to Palace and changed his mind.

 

TBH I reckon Flicker will not mess about

I may be wrong but I think they may well be given a time scale to answer and then if not then Fecked off. I would support that too, as Alex Ferguson said no player should be bigger than the club, it seemed to have worked for him.

Best for all parties if it is this calendar month. Otherwise gives everyone time to move on

 

Re: TBH I reckon Flicker will not mess about

I agree.

Get it sorted ASAP so can move on and begin planning for next season and our assult on the play-offs.

 

well I would love that...but...

would be more than happy to not be scrambling about in the bottom 8. A middle 8 finish to the season would more than satisfy me. However a top 8 finish would be magnificent, and not beyond our capabilities either.

 

Don't think any of them will give an answer until their old contract is up. Usually run till June 1st don't they?

 

As I understand it, none of the players have actually seen the colour of their promised contracts yet. Or so Steele tweeted at the weekend.

 

That's right, as of a few days ago they had been told they were to be offered contracts but not actually offered one yet

 

I'd imagine the club will get answers from the players at different times but will probably release the news at the same time.

So it's likely that we might end up waiting on a Steele or Cranie to make a decision whilst all the others are already signed up
