Busy week ahead of pre-season training starting I think!

Can't see anyone being interested in McDonald, Delaney or Duffus. O'Connor and Obika probably on pretty high wages so that might put a few off.
I think we'll probably end up keeping one of the right backs and moving the other on. Arguments could be made for Cooney or McLaughlin. McLoughlin also a useful enough squad player I can see ultimately staying.
Surprised Pye has been listed for transfer, only signed a professional deal in January, Derek must not see much potential in him.

While Robinson was clearly a b******tter, who talked a talk, never intending to walk the walk, one of the things I liked about him at the time, was saying we were going to develop as a club, by developing players, then moving some of them on to better things. To me, that still should be a key part of our business model. But, Derek's approach appears to be very much 'here & now' rather than investing in development. I'm not sure how that will play out in the longer term?
