Retained List on 10:45 - May 19 with 5905 views | BringBackTheRedRoom | We're being run like we're in administration. So we're basically down to six pros, with about what, 70 games between them. Charles Dunne is the senior pro at the club. Oyston's, hang your heads in shame. | ![](/images/avatars/15449.gif) |

Retained List on 11:33 - May 19 with 5886 views | spooner | Wonder who's making the decision regarding retention? Davies, Cywka, Fonz, Nosworthy, Clarke, Rentmeister, Mellis and O'Dea might have at least helped keep us in League 1. OK, so we want to get back up, but do we really believe we'll bring in players of the calibre to succeed on the wages we offer, without a backroom staff, or facilities in place to facilitate? The saddest thing for me is that I feel little emotion, now, for what's about to be played out. | ![](/images/avatars/16256.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

With Steve and Allez on this - if any would have been retained it would be a shock - ironically Karl will feel justified in his one year contract with a year's option policy because it's entirely conceivable that we could have been stuck with all these douche bags for another year! That said our whole way we recruit, contract players and assemble a group of lads like those who got us promoted in 2007 and 2010 needs to change. We need players who are good enough for this league and then the Championship and that will cost money and that's where we come back to the same old problem! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Retained List on 13:27 - May 19 with 5837 views | basilrobbiereborn | Not many surprises there, apart from Ranger. It does leave us back where we were 12 months ago, but that was inevitable really, and - from the point of view of whoever takes over as manager - probably what they would ideally have wanted. Leaves us a lot to do if this summer is not to be a repeat of last though. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

So basically Kark lied when he said that this wouldn't happen again and that he wanted stability......what an incompetent fool! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Just goes to show what an unholy mess our club is in - how can we go from where we were last season with 8 players on the books (of which a couple were half decent) to 6 players on the book - none of which would get in a Conference side at present. Karl should once again step aside - he has lost control both on and off the pitch. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Retained List on 06:29 - May 20 with 5752 views | big_bloomers | Interesting it says that Gary Madine returned to his parent club, am presuming because he was a target that he's out of contract at Sheff Wed at the end of this season? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Retained List on 07:19 - May 20 with 5746 views | BigHandsOliverKahn | Looks like Telford and Waddington never got round to signing a pro contract then as they aren't on that list. Probably going to leave then. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

In truth a far worse position than this time last season and remember the famous statement? "We're going to do things right next time" "Judge me at the end of the season" Just p1ss off Karl you have failed in every department. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
