Retained List (5 Viewers)

When is it usually out? Have we got that many where we have to make the decision or not?

[torchomatic]

Not a lot happened last summer did it? Don't remember getting rid of many.

 

[Sjr1983]

Allen, Paterson, Howley, Burroughs and Tyler only ones out of contract I believe.

Keep Allen, maybe Paterson as a player coach and release the rest

Tavares too.

I'd bin Paterson off if I am brutally honest he achieved every Cov fans dream by scoring a belter when we needed it, but never featured much thereafter .

 

[TomRad85]

Think we'll let go of every out of contract player tbh, and i think its the right thing to do.

Agree, I think Pato was just to fill a backup in a position that we were short on. If he stays he stays if he doesn't not bothered either way, we needa couple of wingers either way

Probably extend Allen’s contract to get a small fee from his destination club tbh.

Don't see why Allen would agree to that.

If we have an option to extend he wouldnt have a choice

Any evidence we have an option?

 

[SkyBluePower]

Patterson could easily “do a Godden” in L1 but if we are talking ambition over sentiment then he has to be released.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Any evidence we have an option?

Only the telegraph who’ve mentioned it. Evidence with vary based on how reliable you think it is.

 

[Balli001]

Any evidence we have an option?

Yes his own quote in this article Jamie Allen on latest Coventry City contract extension and clause

 

[SAJ]

Tavares too.

Tavares had been offered a contract at Burton.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Looking at the released list so far I wouldn't mind signing Freddie Woodman

 

[Saddlebrains]

Howley
Tavares
Paterson
Tyler
Burroughs

All going

Allen 1 year extension triggered, but only to get a fee, Shipley to Shrewsbury style

Makes sense, plus there's another 10 first team squad players we could do with offloading (in an ideal world) but obviously much depends on who will take them, and how much cash we have to replace them.

 

[SBT]

Howley is a sad tale really - one of the few EFL Apprentices of the Year not to move up to a higher level

 

[AOM]

Be sad to see Jamie Allen go. Been a great player over the years and I think really underrated.
Is he and Eccles the last of the League One team?

Wilson

Did read that Man United were going to sign him as Heaton's 3rd choice replacement

 

[shmmeee]

Wilson

Never actually played a minute for us in L1. Though not sure if Eccles did either.

Eccles played at home against Rochdale, the Liam Walsh wondergoal game (and was awful iirc)

Wilson was the back up keeper, also Burroughs was in the squad as well.

 

[CCFCBat]

Shame to see Allen going, important part of our climb
To where we are. Modern day club legend along with Fadz and Kelly

I’m pleased for him.

 

[PVA]

Tavares scored a cracking goal for Burton the other week

Getting overlooked regardless of how well he performs for the U21s. There’s a disconnect been academy and first team now. Don’t think there’s much desire to put the kids in because we now need instant success - readymade players

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is it crazy to suggest we replace the academy as it is with a B team set up similar to Brentford?

The bigger issue is any promising youth now get sucked up by the elite - they don’t care even paying out nominal fees, as just game of numbers to them.

so it’s becoming almost impossible now for a team like city to develop a player all the way through to first team. Almost need really late developers to be in and around first team.

saying that, expectation to rule hopefully andrews next season.

Exception to rule?

Exception to main point about all talent getting hoovered up, hopefully being Andrew’s next season
