Surely they are reducing wage bill? They still need a squad. Get rid of 3 on say £10kpa bring in 4 on £5k pa?

It'd be a shame if Pickersgill went to Fev as he's done well this year but for me he lacks a yard of pace and isn't really that convincing defensively. If McNally is fit then Pickers doesn't get in the side, it's McNally's lack of fitness that has opened the door for him.

Pickersgill is versatile, durable and has his best years ahead of him. I'd like to keep him but if he gets a better contract at Fev then I wouldn't stand in his way.

I would just assume his agent is after a contract upgrade for him with us, in light of the game-time he has had this season & his performances. Either a switch to F/T (if he is P/T) or a wage increase. Contacting other clubs is a time-honoured tactic in contract negotiations.

Ethan Ryan has had a contract upgrade apparently. Remains part time. I expect BK's agent is doing exactly as you say Highlander but he remains under contract.

I can see other such as Keyes and Minchella wanting upgrades too if others get them.

I am pretty sure Ethan is full time.

Not according to his Dad!

Isn't Ethan P/T as he is still doing his degree at uni?

You're not thinking of Elliot are you? I know his dad told us he was PT on here.

Ethan Ryan was doing his teacher training a year or two ago. So I would assume he's a teacher.

BP had the potential to be a very good player in a league higher than League 1. It's really important that we keep him as long as we can.

I'm pretty sure Ethan is FT. He's in the tier 1 sponsorship bracket which I understand is for the full time players only.

Ethan tweeted about going back to Uni a couple of weeks ago. He's not fulltime.

There are loads of RL players that are on university courses at same time as playing. Doesn't mean they are not full time though... are you absolutely sure?

Mate. His Dad said on Twitter he was part time a few weeks back.

Correct Elliot is part time, will probably go full time if we get promoted.

I thought Ethan was full time and gets time to do his studies. I'll ask Elliot

Hes defo full time .. they only train 11hrs a week and thats on an evening with the part timers

Oh well hope he changes his mind.

I take it Bulls are getting a fee as still under contract.

Unless they release a couple in return to us

Pickers is out of contract at the end of this season.

I'm a bit mystified about Pickersnicker. I mean no disrespect to Fev but what's he gaining going there? I'd have thought a restructured Fev and a newly promoted Bulls would both be scratching around the middle or on the edges of the playoffs.

Like us, he clearly doesn't rate out chances in the play-offs so has an alternate route to the Championship ready to go for when it all goes ( . Y . ) ^

Totally get that point but maybe he thinks he has more chance of gametime at Fev. The minute McNally has been fit he has found himself out of the side maybe that is on his mind. Not that im saying playing McNally wasn't the right decision, as although Brandon has had a cracking season McNally for me is still a high end championship level full back

Is it because we don't sing, "He's one of our own" at games? Oh, sorry, that's only Ethan isn't it...
