So now it's confirmed Martin Allen is the next CFC manager i'm just wondering if he might recruit "familiar" players like Paul Cook did (Roberts, Boco etc)

My first guess given that Muggs is the next goalie coach and he has played for MA before is

https://en.wikipedia...i/Sam_Muggleton

[gordon_brittas]

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Curtis Weston will be amongst one of the signings.

He played for MA at Gillingham and Barnet and has had a lot of games at this level and League 2.

31.

Look at Barnet's release players and we will be having some of them.

Charlie Clough (he has already scored for us).

I'm more interested in who he can get off the books 1st, I'd put most if not all on the transfer list.

IF you were the Manager or say Barnet or someone similar, which Town players would you want to take?

As he said there’s no need foe a squad of much over 20 and he has already identified some new signings he must be confident he can shift a few out

You won't be aware (because we certainly weren't until we'd been down there a few seasons and one of our directors used to post honestly and openly on Stagsnet) that player contracts in the Conference only pay the players whilst the season is in full flow. As soon as it ends, they don't receive any money.
I'd assume Martin Allen is used to working in that way with having experiece at the level, so I would assume he wants to clear the lot out as they will be getting paid whilst on holiday.

Yes 40 week contracts & 20 man squads appear to be the norm especially with the smaller clubs

But they have to give paid leave...it’s the law isn’t it?

If players are under contract and no clubs want them he can’t shift them out - unless the club pays them off, which is a different financial matter entirely. How many are under contract atm?

I said same to my Altrincham supporting mate who is well informed of what goes off there but he said it's right and the norm.

I think it's to do with the contracts being fixed term as opposed to permanent and maybe they get round it by working a four day week

That is certainly the case for a lot of contracts in the NL but not all.

Sam Wedgebury. Rumoured at on the Wrexham forum, hinted at by Graham Smyth.

[SuperJackyLester]

John Akinde been put on the transfer list by barnet. Has to be looked at surely.

[BozaSpireite]

Sam wedgebury doesn’t sound a bad player Wrexham fans gutted he’s left can’t be any worse than what we’ve got

Swap Kristian Dennis for Ricky Miller, Alex Penny and any one of those transfer-listed by The Posh. Miller will score a hatful again back in the Vandypandy if he doesn't end up in prison, which is possible, Penny was chased by loads of EFL teams when at Nuneaton, he's only 21 now and would strengthen our defence. If we sell Dennis the money will just disappear anyway ...... let's have some players instead and Peterborough will need a striker when they cash in on Jack Marriott. (For all his goals Dennis has been in two comprehensively relegated sides.)
