Whilst the emphasis is clearly on youth, Jack Blagborough, the young lad currently with Sheffield would go great guns for us in a FT environment. Definitely one for the future.

Just looked him up, 23 years old, and only made 20 appearances? May do well in FT environment, but would be a punt.

It would you are correct, but no bigger punt than David Thompson. Some you win some you don't, but the potential is clearly there.

What contracts should we be offering Monty, split them into categories, ie First team first namer, first team regular and fringe

Probaly wouldn't count on the cap,so worth a shot for the future.

Yes and his studies are behind him now as well.

I notice that Ilias Bergal is on stand by for the French World Cup squad.

I’m not the people offering contracts I just know players are unhappy with what they getting offered. Some of the players would get offered more in my opinion and others not

Its a MB Monty to express views etc, what are you views on what should be offered is all I asked, It would be interesting to see what you think is affordable

as an aside I was told Cas back row where on less than ours last season

Well we have cut the wage bill by 900 grand so can believe that about the back row. I agree cutting players wages as gates will be less hence less revenue but you got to try keep some experience and lads that want to play for the club and not offer them less than average for a full time championship side

Gates less, sponsorship less and £1m less from sky so its common sense really - what is average for a FT championship club btw

Well I think a lot of Leythers will still back the Club next season , and I think we can expect average gates of around 4,000 at the LSV.

Would hazard a guess around 25 to 30 for your average joe and for the high profile players more

I really can’t see a average of 4000 fans for us in the championship people don’t tend to go when playing a lesser team in league where a cricket score is expected the only thing good about the lower league is the return of the 3pm on a Sunday KO times
