Can anyone put together a list of the squad with player's ages - and their professions so we can start to get a picture of who might be here longer term, and who either may be coming to the end of their career, or not able to go more full time?
Any thoughts too more generally on where we are heading with the current first team players, form aside, I'm thinking more about age and prospects here.
No more money in the kitty mate. Everything in spent.
@happy-hammers would have thought there would be room for a loan. Especially if we loan someone out to offset wages.
@calvertskans I agree Tom, it would be interesting to know if we are still paying our loan players or the clubs are putting something towards their wage.
If Alfie does have a problem, then something has to change because Prior & Ottaway aren't going to score enough goals.
Hopefully we start up, as next season will be very interesting, as I believe but could be wrong, most of the players were on 2 year contracts. So a few could be up for renewal.
Prior, Mcshane, Briggs, Fuller, Gallagher, McManus, Moore. Maybe a few more out on loan.
Marc told the Dorking Advertiser/SurreyLive last month that McShane is under contract this season and next.
Feel we need to look at the loan market for another striker/defender if want to stay up. It may cost a bit, but relegation and reduced attendances will lose more money.
@happy-hammers I'm sure it differs from deal to deal but I know that Hashtag United (Step 3) were paying the wages for a player they had on loan from Chelsea
I'll give it a go:
Harrison Male - 23 - Full time
Barry Fuller - 39 - Coach
George Francomb - 32 - Full time
Isaac Philpot - 28 - Teacher I think?
Tony Craig - 38 - Full time
Joe Cook - 24 - Full time (possibly)
Callum Kennedy - 34 - Not sure but possibly full time
Haydn Hollis - 31 - Not sure but possibly full time
Archie Procter - 22 - Full time possibly
Dan Gallagher - 26 - Think he said he was a plumber on a BoA ep
Dan Pybus - 26 - Full time
Josh Taylor - 28 - Coach/scout
Niall McManus - 29 - Accountant I think
Luke Moore - 35 - Not sure but might be full time
James McShane - 33 - Royal Mail
Aaron Kuhl - 27 - Not sure
Charlie Carter - 27 - Full time
Jack Jebb - 28 - Full time
Seb Bowerman - 28 - Not sure but hes not full time
Matt Briggs - 27 - Engineer
Jimmy Muitt - 28 - I think he's a social worker or something like that
Tom Blair - 24 - Full time possibly
Bobby-Joe Taylor - 28 - I think he might be a coach
Jason Prior - 35 - Think he might be a quantity surveyor or something like that
Alfie Rutherford - 25 - Roofer
Harry Ottaway - 35 - Think he said he was a painter/decorator in a BoA ep
I think it might be the end of the road this season for some of the older players. We really need to look at freshening up the defence a bit at the very least. Could probably do with another young striker with some pace as well.
Really useful this, thanks!
