Thort I start a thread keeping tabs on contracts as it always seems to be a topic that's never 100% clear. This is what I know, put me right if I'm wrong or missed anyone off the list!

Cousins - 2 years till 2018
Doe - 2 years till 2018
Howell - 2 years 2018
Justham - 2 years 2018
Assombalonga - 2 years 2018
Okenabirdie - 2 years 2018
Purnell - not sure 2017 or 2018?
Gutteridge - 1 year 2017
Hawkins - 2 years 2018
Widdowson - 1 year 2017
McClure - 1 year 2017

Boucaud 2017.

I totally forgot about captain marvel

I think it's time to cut Baucard some slack. You got your wish granted when Burnett got sacked. If Johnny Hoof is half the manager you know he is he'll get this bloke playing. He's clearly a very skill full player and has done well elsewhere. He should piss this league I say give him a 2nd chance.

I will give him some slack when he puts in the shift and plays well. I have my doubts

Or just cut him the slack I should say

Other than the usual rubbish trolling, I don't see what Stills ability as a manager had to do with getting anything out of Boucaud.
He isn't a Still player.
He's also spent a lot of his career at Conference level and never set it alight.
I'd imagine Still would be quite happy to find someone daft enough to take him off our hands.

I think as we are about to enter a phase of rebuilding and consolidation we should perhaps cut everyone a bit of slack, enjoy the summer break and look forward to next season.

He put in zero effort as captain. Cut him some slack.

Just remembered Shepherd 2018 I think.

Slacking is what Boucaud has done much of the time he's been here.

Indeed.

Boucaud no doubt looks great in 5-a-side training sessions - where is no tackling, heading, not a lot of running.

In a competitive 11-a-side match he does not look great - as it requires some tackling, heading & a lot of running.

And also the ability to pass the ball to your own side, not give it away, and always be prepared to receive it even under pressure

So that's 15 signed players, very young squad emerging.
