Job for Rene surely?

I think that contracted for next season are:-
Whitehall, Kelly, Fitzsimons, Kouogan, Roberts and Law.
I hope a few of the others can be retained on reduced terms, realistically how many will be in demand at a level above NL and NLN. A couple of the contracted players might be saleable and could possibly raise funds and be replaced by cheaper (and likely inferior) players.1 user thanked author for this post.
But will any potential buyers be willing and able to match their current (apparently generous) wages bearing in mind the level they’re likely to be playing?

Of course I forgot about Dean’s contract ending. There’ll be a shedloads of work to be done in close season. I don’t expect Dean should be part of that.
Not so sure IA .. im predicting if Scunny dont get promoted either auto or loosing in the playoffs JD might be offered another 1 year deal by the board .. getting into the playoffs during such turbulent times may be seen as some sort of success also Dean may be the cheaper option rather than actually finding a new gaffa ..and of course he knows this level inside out.
Can see most of this squad leaving come the summer regardless if we go up or stay down. Its afact if it is the NL next season playing as we are currently it will be sort lived getting mullered every week and low attendances.
Too many Iron fans think we are better than waht we actually are ..which at the moment for whatever reason is pretty dire and im still of the opinion some thing behind the scenes is causing the dip in form and player confidence as they look shit scared every time they take to the pitch.2 users thanked author for this post.
Got to get it right / assume the budget is based on a number of season ticket sales and average attendances (probably 2.500-3,000) but if we keep serving up the dross that we’ve seen in the past few matches then the following season it’ll be 1,500 avg. which is still good for this pub league but our overheads will be a lot higher. If we fail to get promoted (and we need to play a lot better to stand a chance of going up through the playoffs) then I’d want somebody with a bit more footballing experience (as in league football) and that could be Butler – but do you give him total free reign for player selection? Or do you stick with Dean for another crack at promotion? If we’re looking at sustainability and long term then Dean isn’t the answer for me. But these are tough decisions ahead of us
