... Just comes down to clubs voting if they want to play behind closed doors if fans are not viable for rest of the year.
How are clubs possibly going to pay players if some (or all) of the 20/21 season is behind closed doors?
Michael Gash has committed himself to the club for the coming season.Gash, who will be 34 in September, signed in July 2017 and has made 130 appearances for Lynn, scoring 36 goals.
Think it’s only Kelly, Clunan, Jarv, Richards, Marriot and Gash left to sign ( or not). Be interesting to see who stays and who goes on 20/30% less money.
We have posted our 'retained list' here https://www.kltown.co.uk/single-post/2020/05/29/Linnets-announce-retained-list although it doesn't include Pedro who signed at the same time as Hawkins and Gash who was reported as signed earlier in the week which is a bit strange.I guess the focus will be on Marriott's omission but I still think we haven't got the balance right when it comes to offering long term deals - I assume Kelly (who really ended up as a squad player last year) and Southwell (who didn't look the part either against us for Boston or in a Lynn shirt) are only on the list because of multi-season deals? When you look further up the pyramid, the COVID situation has shone a light on div 2 where it seems lots of players are signed year to year, we are two steps below that (OK it could end up being one if the NL ever make a decision) but seem keen to offer multi year contracts. Think we need to concentrate on the 'here and now' not the potential prospect of a 'big pay day' should a player go on to a higher level.
Ward is the one that has struck me as odd, with Fryatt gone. Fryatt is clearly the better player, makes me wonder if Fryatt wanted to go elsewhere, or if his injury has permanently crocked him. Either would be a shame for such a long-serving player...
