My only surprise there is Josh Ruffles as I thought he was meant to be pretty good and one for the future

SkyBluePryce · May 15, 2013

im surprised about will Roberts I thought he was meant to be a 'hot prospect'

psgm1 · May 15, 2013

Considering SP says the youth development is key, this is a startling development. Were these chosen by SP, or thrust upon him by Joy?

deanocity3 · May 15, 2013

I'm surprised about henderson
I thought the club would keep him in case someone wanted his name on the back of their shirts.
must cost an extra £5 for that:thinking about:

Sub · May 15, 2013

just shows cut cost no matter what!! this is what is happening at the club :jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit:

Does there have to be a conspiracy? Maybe they just aren't good enough?

Or it's been decided they're a bit shit?

There was a press release around 3 or 4 months ago saying that Roberts and Henderson were going to be released along with a few other guys I've never heard of. This isn't news! Well, the Jeffers/Ruffles bit is.

Even if it wasn't, youth player doesn't make the grade is more norm than them being handed a contract!

Hope they go on and prove the club wrong, for their sakes, but proper news would be we'd released Murphy and Clarke. Jeffers is absolute dog poo anyway!

ajsccfc · May 15, 2013

Ruffels is really the only one close to being a surprise, followed closely by the shock that Shaun Jeffers was still here.

Of course there's a conspiracy, joy would have hand picked them for disposal - they were probably caught slagging in her off at the end of season awards. Absolutely nothing to do with them being 19-20 years old and nowhere near our getting in our first team match day squad....how dare you suggest such a thing.

hamil99 · May 15, 2013

How manys that released including the Wood etc? I think its about 8, how many more will be cut I wonder, and how many will be bought in?

Well SP said he wants to cut his squad from 34 to 24 and that included young fringe players like ruffels, Jeffers etc. he also wants to shake the squad up so I think another 8-12 will go with 7/8 coming in.

You think another 8-12 cut, hhhmm, I could see it happening. the only thing that puts dought in my mind is the transfer embargo, and SP worrying that the players left over he could sign, once the embargo is lifted, are not the the needed calibre. I think another 5 may go with 3-4 coming in.

cloughie · May 15, 2013

Sorry but can't see any players of any talent coming in with sisu still in control with or without an embargo

dongonzalos · May 15, 2013

Thought Henderson and roberts were part of the new sky blues.

dongonzalos · May 15, 2013

No doubt they will play a key role in beating us next season playing for the real Northampton Town against us the impostors.

You thought Chris Hussey should play in the championship.

Hmmmm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
End of season party , Royal Court. Joy in her thigh highs with whip , Timmy in his gimp mask .

Joy :- "TIMMY go get me some fresh meat ."

Fisher:-" Yes mistress"

Fisher on phone to Waggot :- "Bring mistress Joy some fresh meat , Jeffers ,Roberts,Ruffels and Henderson will do , 4 of em should be enough."

Jeffers :-Fuck off
Roberts:-Fuck off
Ruffels:-Fuck off
Henderson:-Fuck off

Waggot " If you don't go to mistress Joy you will be sorry"

All "FUCK OF WAGGOT"

And that's how to start a conspiracy

Quite relevant to this thread thanks.

You thought SISU were right not to agree the deal on the table with ACL. Whilst we are throwing random stuff out there.

Big difference in the point made, one about a very emotive issue, the other about a crap footballer

Do you really think SISU will buy any players?

No, they will be freebies.

I know quite random really.

Another point Grendel, whilst we are throwing random stuff out there.

You also repeatedly told us no one else would ever be interested in CCFC.

SISU are the only people in town.

Yet Haskell is interested.

It has now been confirmed someone else bid and orange ken screwed that up.

Waterman and some others bid for the club.

Strange when SISU are the only people ever interested in CCFC.

Judging by the article in the CET, watermans consortium didn't have enough money - we'd have probably hit this low 2-3 seasons ago.

ccfc92 · May 15, 2013

sorry, due to all this legal shite, i've forgotten, has Wood left?

stupot07 · May 15, 2013

Yep, wood, Cameron, Elliott, philliskirk...and Jordan Stewart.

good about stewart. he's the LB who played against Pompey away yeahh?

but pressley better have players lined up as soon as the embargo is lifted (hopefully)

maybe he will go bang, bang, bang :facepalm:

No, if Sisu are still in charge they will be free transfers. If we are owned by some one else, money might be available, who knows!

* Do u honestly think we will sign no-one? (Serious question not havin a pop)

chiefdave · May 15, 2013

Ruffels is having a blinding season in the Prem for me on FIFA, what are they doing get of rid of him

SkyBlueBlood · May 15, 2013

I am still surprised who is making these decisions and with what authority pre court case?

SkyBlue_Bear83 · May 15, 2013

Have we had any official statement on Lobjoit as people were saying he had left a few weeks ago, also not that surprising as some are making out. Any young players who are left I imagine will be expected to play a role in the first team and these players obviously weren't up to that in Pressleys opinion

I did hear and post on here some weeks back that i had heard that the PFA were involved as some of the kids contracts were in question over the divided nature of the clubs structure ,whether there was or is anything in it ,who knows .

georgehudson · May 15, 2013
