With no real ‘names’ released as we look for an element of continuity, obviously you would expect some of those contracted players to move on and not feature in our plans for next year, but they will demand transfer fees as we look to recoup some spending and run productively off the pitch as well as on it.
Fans were quick to pass praise onto our departing youngsters as they begin a new journey in their careers.
Best of luck to all the released https://t.co/pfbLYR633C there a new batch lined up Scott?

With a couple of loan signings to factor in and their futures, fans will be waiting for a more fullsome senior announcement but with the players remaining under contract it at least provides some answers for now in amongst all the speculation.
