Like others, I thought Clay might stay, but seeing as PH has a decent record at this sort of thing I'm sure he'll be replaced by better.

And I'm gutted about Straker going, thought he was the sort of player we should be building a FL side around.

I'd have given Clay a year as he's young but Hurst knows what's available and he must see that we can upgrade. Other than that totally agree, would have perhaps had Gregor as backup as a last measure but then again don't know what the markets like. East at a push if nothing available but clearly a lot is!

You might think he'd give the players who got us up a chance -that's the kind of noise a lot of managers make, and what with our strong bond, but it's his neck on the block and it was nearly lopped off so can't blame him for being ruthless.

He's making sounds about really competing and squad building one of his strongest fortes, -he must be like a kid in sweet shop with what's come available to him and thus decided a ruthless cull can allow him to pad out the squad with a much higher grade.

In Hurst I absolutely trust on squad building, very excited to see what he's got in store!

Sad to see Clay go - he's a good player and I suspect he will end up at a full time conference side - He's better than anyone Lincoln's got. Im sure all mariners fans are grateful to the rest for their roles in getting us up.

It's a statement of intent - he could have kept on 4 or 5 more players but he's obviously convinced he can do better (and to be fair he usually does). I also wonder whether Clifton and Venney may get more games next season.

Quoted from 110[b
]Pity about Nolan, best central midfielder we have had at the club since we were relegated,[/b] hope the club had tried to tie him down a couple of months ago but I doubt it, and remember he may have offered terms to Podge and co but does not mean they will sign, could be down to a core of about 5/6 experienced professionals by mid June, that means signing a whole new team.



Disagree with this completely! Disley has been great for town since we came down and ok he is starting to show his age a bit now but he has been here 5 years. He has certainly shown he has been a lot better than Nolan could ever be.

Dis should get a years contract and just be allowed to sit in a deck chair watching the game if he wants.

A bold statement of intent by Hurst. I wouldn't disagree with any of those decisions. Also it takes a strong will to release much of the team he's built to get us promotion, knowing the bond he has with them. Renewed respect for the manager.

ALL of those not offered new deals have done good by us. Must be a nervy time for them. Hope they all get good offers. Thanks to every one of them and good luck for the future (unless they play against us   )

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
