Retained lists

[PIRATE OF ZARAGOZA]

Sheff is right there’s probably a few PB wants to speak to face to face which is the right thing to do. There’s probably a couple of players he’s 5050 on especially now we were relegated. These decisions aren’t made on a whim. Imagine in a couple of weeks we will hear news on a few fronts IE players season tickets.
Sorry to hear Phil, sounds a right palarva. Years ago I went to Sidari and could see Albania from our balcony. They were definitely checked in there (Albania) on Instagram. Be warmer there than here either way lol

Phil Brown says quite a lot in the short interview that was posted in another thread yesterday.

Sam Foley released as well, with us season 2008-09but never played a game
Also interesting that Dean Holdsworth signed him for Newport County the following season

[koro]

I hope we don't sign Bellis. He is similar to Freemantle, lots of willing running around but otherwise little contribution - no goals, no assists, not good enough even at NLN level.

His dad was a doctor in Evesham as well as being a former professional footballer. He was on Radio 5 yesterday morning. I was thinking the same thing as you. I might be wrong but I think he said he was open to offers.

[muse_harrier]

His dad actually played for the Harriers.

[harry211]

Always wondered if he would end up here. Not sure we could afford him.

Who was his Dad?
