3% didn’t renew which seems like they make up a good 50% of the #nffc timeline on twatter.

Surely they just won't bother selling those 600.
I beleive there was a line about some kind of release.

Checked those three - Arsenal's player is Nwaneri, who played 13 minutes at West Ham, a game they won 6-0, Brentford's is Michael Olakigbe, who came off the bench 8 times, totalling 51 minutes and Fulham's is Luke Harris who came on as a sub once (for 74 minutes).
It's just not enough data to draw conclusions from.
Incidentally, the two Burnley players were Trafford and Ramsey, who they paid about £15m each for, so hardly a ringing endorsement of Burnley's academy.

Forcing a prospect like Osong into the team in order to satisfy the desires of fans who miss the 1980s would be monumentally dumb.
Really I don't think you can say much based on a single year when the numbers for most clubs is pretty low. If he'd put Joe Gardner on for the last 5 minutes of either games he was on the bench for or Osong or McDonnell for the game they were, we'd be level with Arsenal, Brentford and Fulham and there are another 7 clubs who only had 2.

How do either of those players count at all? Makes a mockery of the data

Thanks. Looks like I'll be joining the bun-fight then.

I like Grant but he has an agenda and he's clearly cherry-picked to make the case he wants to.

I've been a member for a decade. This is the London Marathon stitch up all over again.
I assume relocations will come next, then they will do the mad scramble of disappointment, then fleece everyone for memberships.
I'm hoping for some sort of priority system whereby members with X games attended this season get first dibs. I should be pretty high up on the list if they do it like that.

That would make the most sense. So it will probably be a free for all.

I'd still rather it was Osong (DoB 21/9/04) being given Premier League minutes ahead of another young forward (DoB 28/4/05) who was supposedly signed as "one for the future", but coincidentally happens to be a client of the manager's best friend/agent and goes straight into the first-team squad.
If we don't rate Osong, why have we given him a new contract?

- The Waiting List for Club Season Cards will prioritise fans based on their membership status and booking history. The Club reserves the right to manage this Waiting List at its discretion.
I hope they realise they need to be transparent in what that means. (ha ha).

Uhhh… for the same reason we gave Joe Worrall a new contract? Because otherwise he walks away for nothing, whereas this way we get a fee for him. Rocket science it is not.

That's what I thought, but then I was querying, given how much we'd actually get for him, whether it was worth it. Presume the kicker is ensuring a sell-on fee in case he goes somewhere else on the cheap and suddenly becomes the English Haaland.
Haaland is already the English Haaland.
