Season 2013/14 squad

[SPARTA]

Have the club or Ian Harte directly said he was leaving? I know Fordham's old paper said so, but you specifically said to keep it official.

Yes, both players confirmed on their Twitter feeds. They've left the club and are looking for new clubs.

@maffff - The OP wants confirmation from the official website, fair enough. However, unless there's a shock turnaround of events, Simon Church will not be offered a new contract. Same for the out of favour Nicky Shorey and Brett Williams. Ian Harte and Noel Hunt have confirmed they have left the club, and Jay Tabb has publicly stated he wants a move away.

If we lose Pogrebnyak as well, and I'm sure we will, then we are left with only Le Fondre and Blackman. There's a lot of changes coming this summer. At least it wont be boring!

But ALF's off to Leeds. We all know that....

I can't see Leeds affording anyone decent here. Leigertwood for £400k maybe, and we'd hand deliver him to save on postage.

Maybe he can car share with Harte, Church and Hunt.

All joking aside, I fully expect at least two of our out of contract players to join him at Leeds. My money would be on Hunt and Tabb, but he does also rate Church and obviously Leigertwood. No one really going to have the Leeds fans frothing at the mouth.

That'd be a horrible mistake. I have no credibility, but if i did, i'd stake it on him having a big season if he gets the game time.

[Royalwaster]

Didnt realise Hunt and Harte had been officialy released either.

True, but as good as ... got to start somewhere. Guess I could just have a blank list ... would that please you sir?

I still think he is a quality player at that level but we have seen hints already that he just doesn't fit the new style

I didnt even realise they had tweeted. If the tweets were genuinely them then I will let it slide. Just dont let it happen again.

He dropped Tabb when he was here last season so can't see it

[howser]

Apart from the guys we know about, Harte, Hunt, Pearce and Tabb have we released our retained list yet ?

The contracts of Noel Hunt, Ian Harte, Nicky Shorey, Simon Church and Jay Tabb will not be renewed, and the club would like to thank them for their contribution to our success in recent times. Every one of those five players will be fondly remembered for their professionalism, diligence and service to the club.

Out-of-contract Joseph Mills has been at Burnley on a season-long loan, and under the terms of last summer's agreement with the Clarets he has triggered an automatic transfer to Turf Moor.
