Here's just a few of the ones I've seen along with the source... 
  
 
 

Similar rumour about Hourihane...

Similar rumour about Hourihane...

That's all white, it was only a yolk.

Why haven't we published the list yet?
1. PW said a few months back that no new contracts would be offered until after the season.
2. Following the last game the lads had a couple of days on the razz and then went to Vegas for more razzing. Now they are back PW can inform, face to face, those who are to be let go and start negotiations with the agents of players he wants to keep.
 
Is it really any surprise we haven't published the list yet?

Having thought about it and having disengaged my "softie" side, here's my take on those currently out of contract. There will be disagreements but in the hardball world of Association Football there is no room for sentiment. Not if you want success...
 
The players concerned are:

Bird (already gone)
Sibley who I'd keep
Wildsmith who I'd keep
JJ back on pay as you play or not at all. Probably the latter.
Barks Thanks for everything but it's time to go
Adams hopefully reach a deal with Cardiff but not at any price
Tommo keep
Gayle looked class in L1 but had a huge failure at Stoke prior to coming to us. Too old? I think so
Hourihane Full time coach at Villa or an extra season here? I'd let him unless the option rumours are true
Collo Hard working goalscoring L1 CF 16/17 22 in L2, 17/18 20 in L2, 18/19 25 in L1, 19/20 and 20/21 14 and 13 in the SBC, 21/22 3 in the SBC from 30 appearances. 22/23 12 in L1, 23/24 199 in L1. Is L1 his level? I think he is. Thanks and good luck.
Smith been a good servant but PW wants more 20 somethings (applies to Collo as well)
Fozzy LWB/LB/CH competent in all 3 but his age is against him. 3 ACLs plus the time it took him to get over his injury this season and then broke down again on his return. You're a rock but it's time to go
Waggy Ta lad. This really is the end of the line
Robinson talks under way and I'd definitely keep him as he has a bright future
Loach does some coaching as well. Apparently on less than a grand a week. If still capable if/when needed then as 3rd keeper, I'd be happy enough.

So..

Keep Sibs, JW, Tommo, Robinson

Also keep JJ and Loach but only if the circumstances are correct (pay as you play JJ and still capable if needed Loach). IMO more chance of the latter happening than the former

Buy Adams but not at any price

The rest can go unless there are any option triggers the players can pull.

Whatever the 3 new shirts look like, it will have been agreed best part of a year ago.

Here's another. Would be allowed these days. 1st game season 84/85. Thousands of us away at Bournemouth. Great crack with the constabulary. Then a very good looking blonde WPC appeared. She was serenaded with "GYTOFTL"... if you know, you know.
She took it in good part and burst out laughing.

I don't know but the list has to be announced by the 3rd Saturday in May as Caerphilly said. 
IMO, nobody would have been told they were out of the club prior to the Vegas trip, PWs not that type of guy. He will speak to the players this week, now they are back and I expect the list to be out sometime in the week.

I've read/heard of 27 different players we're buying this summer. 2 of those arriving would be a miracle. Where did you hear it? Who from? A reputable, reliable source or did you overhear someone saying they'd seen something on FB or X?
The whole point being there's a lot of crap being written by folk wanting clicks to gain advertising revenue from their FB pages, YouTube channels and websites. We don't yet know who's staying and who's going. We're not the only club that hasn't yet published their retained list. Unless a club has said something, there's no traction in any of these rumours.

Too many players with too many injuries...

I don't see how anybody can judge a player like Elder until he has had a decent run in the team and got his fitness back up. Give the guy a chance!

Ta muchly. That is great news for us expats

That Ted McMinn chant based on the Manfred Mann song "Mighty Quinn" is a rehash of one of the 70's Kevin Hector chants.

I bet that tastes of Promotioooooooon 😉

I do get that impression on occasions 😉

Some howlers like the penalty Sav won for Leicester and the double clanger from Tw@twell on those 2 Miles Addison disallowed goals against the Red Dogs but for sheer consistency in a single game, I have to go for at Bolton om September 2nd, 2023. 
In no particular order...
1. He turned down a nailed on penalty
2. He disallowed a perfectly good goal... to give us a penalty, from which we scored. To be somewhat fair to the lad, he did blow before the ball crossed the line but he was way too quick to give the decision. There was something like 2 seconds between the foul and the goal. Why didn't he wait to see if there was any advantage first?
3. He turned down another nailed on penalty
4. He sent Wildsmith off for handling the ball outside the area. The ball hit him in the chest, Red card rescinded on appeal
5. He gave Bolton a penalty for a foul by Korey Smith. Now, it was a foul, no doubt about that, however, it was outside the box

One relegation season, oppo fans singing "going down, going down, going down" swiftly replied to with "so are we....."
Fans of a certain age will remember "Leeds reserves were better"
He's here, he's there, he's asked us not to swear, John O'Hare, John O'Hare
Blackpool away, their lot started "jump around if you're staying up" which was very quickly taken over by 4000 Rams voices "jump around if you're going down"
THAT season "Let's pretend we scored a goal"
