The first major bits of news: 1) Pearson's gone. Nice lad, good player, but 24 and only ever a back up option 2) Youth prospects Walton and Williams sign new contracts. Promoting youth and showing faith in the academy are two pretty good and pragmatic steps IMO. Happy so far
Because they were announced with the retained list which was about a week after the season ended, well before Stendel was appointed. Edit: retained list posted 18th May, Stendel started early June
Jesus, do you EVER give up? AGAIN......will you go back to Ganaye's interview where he specifically explained that the manager DOES have an input........and read it!
Retained doesn't mean a new contract offer though, just means we're keeping them under the terms of their current contract doesn't it? I'm probably wrong, just trying to get it straight in my head...

I wish some of these duffers wouldn’t keep rolling this rubbish out about the manager / head coach not having a say on recruitment. It’s fooking stupid.
Stendel will be doing what all managers / team coach would be doing when they first start a new job - running an eye over the players we already have. When he has gauged what we have got then he’ll be making a decision on what other players we need.
I’m all for looking on the bright side, but it’s quite a stretch to describe anything that has happened this close season as ‘progress’.
You are a complete wind up merchant. The contradiction to that is in black and white and everybody can go and read it. The manager has input. Your refusal to accept that proves you're nothing more than a troll I'm afraid.
Been brainwashed into excepting the .. find em cheap and sell em on.. if there any good model.. And still charge top dollar to watch hopeful maybes Hoped for a little bit more from the new owners...
Like I say stendel gets 3 options and they will try and choose his favourite. Why not just use common sense and let the manager search for players
