As it comes up every year, just remember......

The Retained List are all players STILL under contract.

It does not mean BBM wants to keep them.

Out of the players leaving I cant remember 100% but I thought Will Spiers was OK when given a chance in the MG Cup and u21 games

Very, very surprised at this. Always liked him when I saw him for the U21s.

There is not a chance in hell that we would release Ashford ( quite rightly ).

You can't just "release" who you want to release, they have contracts.

Heard he wanted out as don't like purse and has limited chance of any 1st team football. And fell out with Eastleigh captain and manager while on loan. So maybe bit of attitude

The problem with Robinson and chambers is someone has to be willing to pay there wages which are bloody huge , get them 2 off the books would free up a massive chunk for young hungry players who don't command huge wages

Also there wages alone probably go a fair way towards the new 85% scr ffp rules
