They’ve left that ambiguous haven’t they! All released?!

 

They might take the article down and try again for a third time...

It's not showing up on the front page of the website (yet?) but the official Twitter account has a link to it.

Why doesn't it say if any of those out of contract have been offer new ones?

Looks like they're gone and some of those still in contract might be in for a rude awakening aswell

Nothing's off the table after what's passed

Because they haven't presumably.

I assume they are gone, the statement provides a sentence giving thanks for those leaving. 
 

So those still under contract, I’d imagine the following could leave: 

- Moore (loan)

- Norwood

- Nuttall

- Reid

- Shelton

- Sheron

- Ward 

- Kurt 

Decent clear out if we can get 5 of the above shifted.

The manager and his assistant included?

The full clear out suggests Mellon is being backed, in my opinion.

We might as well be done with it and start again from the ground up

Why is the club so bad with statements?

 

They must know people are anxious. They must know people are waiting for a glimmer of hope. They must know people are waiting for decisions on players before buying season tickets.

 

If MM is the honest straight talking guy he says he is, then give us some proper information.

Yeah, it's a poor statement. If it said the following players have been released following the end of their contracts that would be clear. We'll see.

Should have kept fondop won’t get a better back up/sub.

Not sure you can get much clearer than these ones are under contract and these ones are not...

AFC Fylde are keen on Reid.

He will score against us. Put your house on it.

They were interested in Kurt as they were preparing for the league below.

 
Now they are still in the National they want more experience.

[GlossopLatic]

I read that as no new offers of new deals being made. A case for Fondop and maybe some of the youngsters who I've not seen but we need to create space on the wage bill, so it's a case of thanks very much and move on. Interesting we don't appear to have offered Jake Foreshaw anything bearing in mind the hype surrounding him 12 months ago.

Bear in mind he also appears to cause trouble wherever he's been I'd imagine there will be a fall out there too.

 

I expect he will pop up on love Island at some point.

Yes you can. You can confirm whether or not they are negotiating a new deal with them.

 

Just informing us what we already know about when their contracts ends does not clarify what is happening for the coming season.

It really is a ‘nothing statement’ - as you say, they’re telling us what we already know!
