Out of the three would most like to keep king, however can't see any of them staying realistically and who can blame them? Only marlon owes something to the club but probably wants more wages than we can offer.
Even if they do leave I am grateful for the services they have given to the club these last few years and will keep an eye out for them in the future, and wish them the best of luck.

What frustrates me immensely is the naivity that people think these players can't be replaced. I will admit with Marlon the situation is different because really he should be playing for a 'bigger' club than us but he made his bed with the life decisions he made and these were the cards dealt to him. However Marlon aside, if you look through our team then a fair few have come from lower than championship level and the majority have done ok. I will admit that for every Westwood or Keogh there is a Robbie Simpson or Roy O'Donovan but that is the risk that you take.
To summarise, I don't think for one second that the players are holding the club to Ransom (or their agents for that matter) simply because the offers are probably pretty much non-negotiable and 'take it or leave it.' Either way I have faith in Thorn and his abaility to identify new players and have confidence of in his ability to build a squad for next season around the existing good (not quality) players.
