I thought Bodin only had a one year extension last Summer?I wonder if Baldock could be an insurance pay off? I agree Henry and Bodin will be tricky/expensive to offload.
Whatever, if we can afford it I’d pay them off.

My stance on Murphy is to start over and I think that would be a healthy attitude for all fans. I was making digs at him as much as anyone when Karl was here. We’re not blessed with options and if Manning believes there’s a good lad in there that’ll run for us then I believe him more than I did KR. Let’s see what he can get from him.And Murphy’s
He isn’t on big money.Why would he though unless he gets paid off. He’s got a nice “Karl” contract that runs for next season as well so financially he’d be crazy to pack it in unless he’s financially rewarded.
But any money is better than no money and unemployed.He isn’t on big money.
Costs to much money and eats into the budget.I thought Bodin only had a one year extension last Summer?

His contract reflects his injury record.But any money is better than no money and unemployed.
I also thought I saw on here he was on over £3k per week but may have got that wrong, his contract reflects his injury record

We will only be able to terminate their contracts by paying them out in full, or coming to an agreed settlement.
Thing is with a balanced squad having a couple of old pros about won't be a bad thing to play here and there , see out a few games .Didn’t red haired a**e trumpet try to pull a stunt on us where he retired and then tried to claim the full amount for the final year he was contracted to us? I can’t recall the outcome of that …
Do it. We’ve got loads of cash. Flip Henry off to Gillingham, Bodin will sign for Swindon and Baldock can retire.
No passengers. No crocks. No aging pros squeezing two year contracts out of this club any more.
No squad fillers. No passengers. No mercy.*

The Dub (BBC Podcast) picked up on this after the squad numbers were announced as something that was notable by its absence, but otherwise no word on any official channels (that I have seen/heard).Still no word of any kind on Baldock from the club or in any media pieces.
No squad number.
Not trained.
Could we be stuck in negotiations around a payoff?
Correct. He hasn’t / wont do a deal. The only thing left to decide is whether the club wants to pay him off in a lump sum or let it play out for the next year.It’s pretty obvious he will never play again so I can’t see why he would take a pay off that’s less than his full contract?
If this is the case, if we either pay in full or let him play out his contract, dies this still contribute to our player salary outgoings? If so, probably worth keeping him on the books to play or should I say sit out his contract!Correct. He hasn’t / wont do a deal.

Cheers Karl.

But presumably, until that’s sorted, he occupies a good portion of the positional budget discussed yesterday? So, until that situation is resolved officially and he’s struck off the playing budget one way or another, it makes it near impossible to reallocate his wage to another striker?Paying him off in one go or monthly equates to exactly the same thing and does come out of our playing budget either way.
I believe conversations are ongoing about Sam doing a different role around the club whilst studying, and if this was the case then it might be possible to attribute his wages to non-playing staff and it not be counted.
But either way, I'm not sure that it will make a huge difference to our plans and would have been included in our forecasts.
There’s still room for a ‘forward’ as Tyler Smith hasn’t been replaced.But presumably, until that’s sorted, he occupies a good portion of the positional budget discussed yesterday? So, until that situation is resolved officially and he’s struck off the playing budget one way or another, it makes it near impossible to reallocate his wage to another striker?
