Clay & East could have gone either way. The fact he's released them both is a fairly bold statement that he thinks he can find better. I wish everyone released the very best.

No real surprises there for me. My only surprise is though is how many people on here wanted to offer Clay another deal.
Decent pro but Just conference level IMO.

Glad to see we're starting from a small core of players. It's a big step up, thought PH might keep a few more of "his" players to be honest. It's refreshing to see he has been ruthless. I've a feeling we may regret letting Clay go in a few years, on the other hand we don't know who he is talking to.

+1 For Hurst from me with those choices

A decent 11 player starting point if all those offered sign on again and plenty of scope to improve some of the areas where we lacked power and pace or game changers.

Common sense from the manager. No point in retaining players for L2 who were not even nailed on starters at Conference level. Last season has gone, it's thanks and goodbye time. The club's needs are different now.

Bet most teams that are promoted keep more of their players than that!

Was needed though, lets be honest. As great as it was go to up and the players turned up when it really mattered, we can't forget that we were pretty poor second half of the season.

Anyone that was maybe a borderline one like East, Clay and Robertson have gone so he's made it clear he's not gonna carry anyone for the sake of it.

Also disappointed at Nolan leaving, but thanks very much to him and good luck to the lad. I hope it turns out to be a good move for him.
I just hope the players offered new contracts decide to sign on the dotted line. Its a good starting point if they do and something PH can build on.

I wish all those players released the best of luck and hope they will find new employment opportunities elsewhere.
I hope everyone offered new contracts will sign them swiftly and without delay and I look forward to exciting times regarding who the genius talent scout and manager Paul Hurst will sign for us!
I expect at least this: Impressive talent cherry-picked from the Conference and below. Some experienced but hungry players from the league. Maybe as many as 10 in all if we keep those we have on our books right now.
Oh, the joy! So fun to be in League Two yet again!
