I agree with sharp finishing as a player however I would offer him a coaching role.

I never really understand that. Coaching and playing are different skills. We don’t know what level his coaching is at, if he’s even been working on that in mind at all.

His experience and knowledge would surely pass off on the strikers at the club, if we don't do it I would expect Sheffield utd will

I suspect the fox in the box striker like Billy is a fully instinctive attribute, not sure it follows that it could be coached into others who lack the instinct.

If we both wanted him then he’d just go to Sheff Utd

If we want to be an established League One club then we are in the position where we have to let OK footballers go sometimes.

Offering contracts when we could have got better has been a bigger issue than not tying down players who have proven to be really good in recent years.

I know its early but we've all seen enough so far so thought I'd open this up for discussion. 

Who would you keep and let go?

Retain

Jacob Bryant
Jake Oram

Sterry
McGrath
Senior
Grehan
Williams
Faulkner
Flint

Bailey
Robinson
Gotts
Molyneux
Adelakun

Release
TLT (not worth the risk offering anything)
Clarke (not seen enough yet)
James Maxwell ( I'm undecided with this fella)

Matty Pearson
Neill Byrne (not seen enough)
Tom Nixon

George Broadbent
Harry Clifton
Glenn Middleton
Ben Close
Jordan Gibson

Billy Sharp
Francis Okoronkwo
Brandon Hanlan

Joe Sbarra
Kyle Hurst
Zain Westbrooke

When you break it down like this its clear that this squad is bloated with lg2 players.




Not sure you can "release" players such as Pearson, Broadbent and Middleton if they are under contract.

Perhaps this should be who, of the players whose contracts are ending, would you offer a new deal to?
