Thought Widdrington said 90% of the squad were out of contract at season end - bizarre!!!

6 senior pros leaving which hopefully means GC can get some quality in but 4 other senior pros (Matthews, Payne, Bennett and Mensah) are back at the club who you presume the club wish to off-load - that might be tricky unless a few of them get paid off !?

Swindon are keen on Bennett, so I assume they'll be happy to pay off the last year of his contract/pay a small transfer fee. Mensah may agree to mutual termination to get gametime as he's still young. Matthews I think still has a part to play, there's a good player in there somewhere. Payne is the tricky one. Who the hell would want him?

No real surprises in there but it does show we are in for a big summer in terms of recruitment with a lot of the first team squad on their way. Disappointed to see Sinclair go but is probably the right decision. Partington is the strange one for me but as long as he as seen as back up then I am not overly worried. Don't know why Mensah or Matthews are't included on the list of loan players returning. Assume they are both still under contract?This is typical Rovers, they can't even produced a retained list without it being complete! I can't understand why we're offering Parts a new contract as he's struggled in virtually every game he's played this season, surely there's better players out there we could sign? Now Leads has gone we're still going to have no pace down our right side next season if JC & Parts sign new contracts. Disappointed the club didn't let Sincs have a decent send off on Saturday, personally I'd have sooner thanked him for his time at the club than Locks who's simply after more £'s.

Gutted to see Sincs go, albeit not over surprused after the manager brought in Ogogo who, for some reason, he seems to rate more than Sinclair.
Sinclair epitomised more than any other player everything that was good about the club following our relegation to the Conference. The term 'legend' is overused but I genuinely think it appropriate in his case. A credit to himself and his profession and I look forward to him being invited back to the club as soon as possible.
Thanks for everything Sincs.

Who the hell would want him? Think the fans will let him know he has no future at this club - if he is ever selected. Personally I don't want to see him ever again wear a Bristol Rovers shirt - he hasn't earned it - he's not fit to.

Probably undone by his injury history. Then why offer Partington a new deal? That's not a shot at Parts, just pointing out that they've both got spotty injury records. Yeah I’d have Sinclair over Partington every time.

Who the hell would want him? I’d argue a few clubs would want Payne, especially in L2. He’s scored goals in L1, reached a playoff final and had a decent goal scoring record in the Conference. Yes, he was awful for us but I’m sure there will be at least one or two clubs that will want to take a gamble on him. Same goes for Bennett and Mensah, can’t see either of them struggling to find clubs.

Have I completely missed it, or is there a mention of where we're at with JCH? No need to say as he's already signed beyond next Season?
