I wouldn't be so sure; the number on the graphic just rounded up to 15. ;D
You know we've retained off the field staff, and there may be a shiny or two to collect.

Foz has a sticker.
-
SPOILER ALERT:
JJ 'liked' the Twitter announcement, so there's one :)
-
Twitter feed has suggested that 15 have signed up. So, not including the lads out on loan I would imagine the only player around the first team at the end of last season but not signing would be Sam Heathcote.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam, Lawrence and Sean Miller back at the start of the summer and play the first couple of friendlies in an attempt and win a contract though.

Thompson Harrison Hancock Richman
-
Densmore White Poole Johnson Peers
-
I am hoping the last 5 are Hannigan, Hampson, Harrop, Poole and Moult.
Give Miller and Taylor pre season.

You missed out Harrop from this batch.

Not Poole, but Jones.

See above....delete Harrop from your wish list. Add Bailey-Jones ?

The one missing is Hulme not Harrop of the first five announced.

Hope you're right with those five. Add 3 quality signings and another keeper and we're good to go.

Bailey-Jones is a keen player but not so good close control. We need better for this league.

I honestly don't know why anyone wouldn't want to keep Harrop. He's class.

No one has suggested not keeping Harrop,there was just a mix up over the first batch of retained players.
-
That retention list is perfect. Well done PP and Neil again.
-
Exactly the 15 every one but have chosen. Well to the board and management for securing them.
Need at least 3 more
-
Second that, this leaves Phil with a good chance to have a look at new signings now, whilst still leaving space for those not re-signed as yet.
Great judgment and a perfect decision in my book, be interesting to see what happens with new signings, watch this space.
I know from speaking to Phil after the presentations that I said, keep as many of this squad as you think right. He actually replied to me; quote; 'already a done deal mate'.
I know what he meant now. Well done Phil.
Trying to save money to buy a season ticket now, for next season. I don't want to pay on the door for league matches now.
-
It is indeed a very good retained list. The 3 new players or so will be critical as to how we cope next season, but everybody will be after them!
-
I trust Phil and Neil to use their judgment and get the best players available. We as a club are now a more attractive shop window, so there is no reason why we should not look to the future positively.
I await new signings with much interest, but we have signed every player I wanted us to keep. Another centre forward, another keeper, possibly another central defender, and a midfield/winger and we are good to go for next season, but we need to compete with the likes of York City, Stockport, Darlington and Chester. York look to have made some good signings too. With this squad, we will give anybody in this league a good competitive game.

Quite the coded message from Parkinson there, I'm not surprised you've only just understood its meaning.
-
Excellent work! well done the management and players :D
-
Couldnt have asked for more, well done PP and NS.
Just need to add some quality now on the bench and to reinforce the areas we know, plus maybe a plan B striker?

Over 75,000 people reached with a little level of creativity. Imagine what could be done to attract interest to our 51% with the same level of thought.

I agree, its great to get the message out and you and others are doing a fine job doing that,...., however its one thing letting people know, its another them putting their hand in their pocket :( :o ???

Well, obviously.
You're approach seems to be: 'It's really difficult to find people willing to put money into a football club so it's best not to bother.'
I'd hope that the actual approach would be: 'It's really difficult to find people willing to put money into a football club so we should try really hard.'

This.
It seems like the current strategy is sticking our heads in the sand and actually hoping nobody comes knocking, so as to preserve the status quo.

Agree with both previous posters. I’m concerned that some of the posts on this forum recently appear to be advocating the desirability of NOT actively seeking investment. If this view is shared at board level, we face a difficult future.

This thread has taken a very strange turn. I can't see where anybody is advocating that we should not be seeking investment. Stating the difficulties is simply pragmatism. See my earlier posts on other threads about the need for a high profile FA Cup run, and the publicity it would bring. That scenario is, to my mind, the best way to encourage investment. Roll out the bandwagon !

Some say pragmatic, some say excuses and negativity.
Just remember there's a solution in every problem.

There's many aspects to the whole discussion. I notice that the Guiseley benefactor has become disillusioned with funding a team because he set out to fund a club.

Jordan Sinnott being released by Chesterfield according to the press. Worth a cheeky move?

Yes, but whenever the prospect of investment is brought up people connected the board keep saying that no one will be interested. This might be true, but when it's coupled with the board doing absolutely nothing to even let people know the club is for sale, it looks suspiciously like some people are quite resistant to change.

Absolutely spot on Jimmy. You see that with the glee with which the news about Barrow on the other thread was received in some quarters. Just because their Chairman has executed his strategy very poorly and now is frantically backtracking (and you see the pages of people criticising him on their forum) means that no-one else should ever contemplate being ambitious or spend money. Its a very odd logic.

You do realise that by writing +100, absolutelu nothing happens. The whole point of the “+1” is so that you’re acknowledging you agree without writing it all out in full.
ALSO, on another thread you put +1000, this one was +100 and on another thread it was +1000000 or something. I’m interested in how your agreement scale works.

He was very well regarded at Halifax, might end up back there.
-

Chester?
They reckon he'll get a move higher up the pyramid.
-
Maybe ? Not knocking him - he was no worse than his team mates in his last season for us - but he could not get a gig at a team that finished bottom of L2 with ease

No I didnt realise this affected anything, so does it affect the score on the left then?
