Correct - selling one ‘big player’, each summer is fine and allows us to steadily improve.

Stewart in 2023 and Clarke in 2024

Does feel this summer could be different mind

Neil, Cirkin & Watson in last 12 months with currently no sign of signing a new contract in championship.

Jobe & Rigg. Could we hold onto them if we don’t go up?

That’s 5 for a start we’d struggle to hold on to.

We’d likely have offers testing the water for Hume, Patterson, Mundle and likely a few others too, although those are the kind of offers the club has done well at turning down in recent years.

Obviously Mepham and le Fee would be away. Add in there’s still a few in the squad we’d likely be open to letting go (Poveda, Adil) and this summer could be the first major rebuild since L1 days

We’d be minted mind so maybe just the next stage of the “process”. And more Wilson, Le Fee type signings?

The only way Neil leaves is premier league. I don't think he'd leave for a championship contract, even if it was slightly more. For the first time I reckon he can make the step up. His performances are a cut above.

Anyone refusing to sign a new contract will be sold.

I’m not sure any PL clubs are going to come in for Rigg in the summer tbh. They know it would cost a small fortune and he’s been poor for quite a while now.

The earlier they come in, the cheaper they get him and the lesser the opposition.

Neil, Cirkin and Watson will be holding on until the season end in case we get promoted I reckon, more money etc if we’re a Premier League club. Can’t see the first two leaving but Watson has had Brighton after him for a while now so that might happen. Obviously if any of them refuse a new deal then get shot ASAP.

Jobe will be off if we don’t get promoted, I can’t see Rigg leaving, along with the other lads listed below that (apart from Patterson maybe? Definitely would like a new goalkeeper based off his current form).

Just my opinions of course, but similar was said in 2023 and 2024 about everyone leaving and neither ended up like what people thought it would.

Could be different this summer.

We’ve currently 3 in the Clarke or Stewart “situation” this summer and there’ll be a lot of interest in Rigg & Jobe too. Not too mention Hume, Patterson, Mundle and maybe even Mayenda and a few others will have clubs testing the water.

Maybe this summer will also see clearing of the decks with Rusyn, Adil, Ba, Bennette, Poveda, Anderson all away too (if we find willing buyers of course).

Does just feel this could be a changing of the guard if we don’t go up. I’m not having a go at the club, its down to their success on recruitment and bringing through academy players. We simply don’t hold all the cards this time.

Let’s see. Hopefully we go up anyway!

I get what you’re saying, but don’t expect all of the above to leave at the same time.

We have done better than I expected at lining up a replacement (apart from Ross Stewart) with the likes of Mundle/Watson filling Jack Clarke’s shoes

Yeah hope you’re right. I’ve faith the club won’t just roll over though, we’ve done decent on the deals in/out

To be fair I’m normally a glass half full type of person so maybe it’s just that talking 😂 like I say I can’t see many of them going like, though I could understand why someone would think so. If anyone does leave it won’t be for cheap so 0 doubt in my mind we’ll adequately replace them all

Those listed are on a par with the shite who kept us in League One for 4 years.

All other signings have been a distinct improvement and managing to secure Le Fee on loan and Isidor for 3 more years and massively encouraging

He didn't come in to replace Stewart he came in to play alongside him but Stewart then got injured pretty soon after, or just before, his signing was confirmed.

As you say in the first half of your post though some of the other suggestions are daft, many of them have actually contributed something.

How was Geldhart going to play alongside Stewart? We had Amad playing the 10 role which meant there wasn't a starting spot for him.

He was brought in as cover to replace Simms. He failed to make a decent fist of it when called upon.

No idea, I wasn't manager. He wasn't coming in as a direct replacement for Ross Stewart.
