I can’t see Garside wanting to go full time, he’s a teacher. He’s happy with the situation as it is

What makes you think we're going back to being completely full time next season?

Also I'm not sure about Garside. He's a strong runner but the number of times he killed the play against Whitehaven had me tearing my hair out.

I was replying to the previous comment about getting him signed up for next season. He’s on a 2 year part time deal so will be there next season.

Who ISNT on contract for next year?

Smith, Gibson, Grant and Chisholm's deals expire at the end of this season.

Chisholm was reported as being on a 2 year deal but he confirmed via social media himself that was a mistake and he's on a 1 year deal.

A good point. Pesrsonally I suspect (assuming etc etc) that we might maybe change the balance to more full timers, including giving full time contracts to some of the current squad who are on part-time, though some may not wish to, of course. Obviously, it depends entirely on the finances and how JK judges what kind of balance suits us best. If we want to improve the squad, which we presumably do, then I'd guess that means bringing in more full timers from outside.

I'm not exactly sure of the numbers, but if we go up I don't think there will be too much of a leap in central funding next year compared to what we got in 2018.

£75K this year, and I **think** the lowest level of funding in the Championship (I assume we'd start at that level) is £150K

So double what we have this year - bu not that much more in hard cash terms...

Not enough to go mad with full timers anyway. I expect a similar hybrid squad. Some players may be given improved deals as they demonstrate their importance. I'm thinking of players like Ryan, Minchella and Keyes who are part time but may be tempted elsewhere if they get a decent offer.

Re: Players for next year : Mon Aug 06, 2018 1:19 pm  

I think Ryan is a full timer

Re: Players for next year : Mon Aug 06, 2018 1:31 pm  

Ethan is full time. Elliot and Joe are part time
