How brutal a cull does it need to be?? I think we could end up with a retained list looking something like this.

Goalkeepers
Steve Arnold
Joel Dixon

Defence
Donovan Makoma
Dan Jones
Moussa Diarra

Midfield
Asa Hall
Bedsente Gomis

Strikers
Nathan Waterston
Jordan White
Grant Holt (player coach)

I will be suprised if Holt plays next season legs gave gone and after watching Saturday's match I thought he would be encouraging the young lads in the team instead of intimidating them

Retained list - my version

Goalkeepers
Steve Arnold
Joel Dixon (unsure)

Defence
Donovan Makoma
Dan Jones (unsure)
Moussa Diarra

Midfield
Bedsente Gomis

Strikers
Nathan Waterston

Coach
Grant Holt - only as a player in lancashire cup...

Diarra's contract is up isn't it? Presumably his 'agent' is still after a signing on fee from a new club.

I think Diarra will be leaving.
Harry Panayiotou still got a year left on his contract

Making the assumption that a) Some of those on contract get kept on, for good or ill- we won't afford to pay them all off
b) folk like Moussa have no chance of staying
c) we probably can't get the younger loanees

Goalkeepers
Steve Arnold (if Pennock stays)

Defence
Asa Hall (see a)

Midfield
Kingsley James

Strikers
Nathan Waterston
Jordan White (see a)

Coach
Grant Holt - please God not playing regularly

Panayatou must be over

The game against Chester highlighted the limitations of the side. We need a total clear out.

It really wouldn’t be an issue if no-one stayed; sounds like some players have already made enough appearances to trigger a deal for next season sadly

Cox Ogden and agents produced a weaker squad than last term. Various reasons caused such do ady pennock had to make the best of a poor start with contracted unfit and demotivated players. Not an easy task but he signed some excellent loan players who got us over the finish line.
Who to retain? Arnold will stay as he has the managers faith. Dixon will not.
Moussa is away and gave us great service. Thank you and good luck.
Jones has a decent throw and Is technically sound so I would keep.
Asa Hall eventually stood up as captain and gave some decent performances. He will probably stay.
Gomis.....gave plenty but not that creative. Not sure he will remain?
Makoma has talent but if his fellow Frenchmen leave I think he will .
Both James are decent players and ady will do his best to sign both.
Grant Holt will stay but he’s far more useful as a striker than midfielder. Impact from the bench.
He also provides strength in attitude.
White I doubt will remain. He has ability but I think the manager has two strikers lined up now we remain in this league.
I can’t see anyone else in the squad staying and we should give ady etc a chance to recruit and see what he produces.

Which players?, If the players have no future here- either they dont want to be here or Pennock doesnt want them, then the club can move them on surely- ie like Harrison. Triggered deal or not?

I suppose this doesn't mean we can't mutuality cancel a contract if both parties wanted to.

Barrow managing director Andrew Casson said: “There are a few others who haven't triggered their clauses. It was pretty much a standard thing we put in most of the new players' contract”

I presume the thinking was this would generate a transfer fee.

Forgot about Barthram, it's going to take some wheeling and dealing to whittle that lot down further. Thought Moussa had an extension too.

Must keep Dan Jones. OK as a player, but has a devastating throw. Our most potent attacking threat all saeason. Might be disappointing that that is so, but undeniable. No reason not to be next season either. A superb attribute for the National League. Crazy to let him go if we can keep him.

That story has now been deleted. What did it say?
