Retained List to Be Issued On Monday
Friday, 17th May 2019 16:21

Town will issue their official retained list on Monday.

Manager Paul Lambert met with the seven players whose contracts are up following the final game of the season but the club is yet to release official confirmation of who will be staying and who will be going with the deadline for submitting the retained list to the EFL tomorrow. The EFL will publish the retained lists for all clubs on June 1st.

“We’re obviously working through that,” O’Neill told TWTD on Monday. “The retain and release list will go out just after the third Saturday in May but conversations back and forth with players and agents are ongoing.

“We’re very close to getting sorted out but it’s still a few more days before we can confirm what that plan is going to be going forward.”

Among those whose departures look certain to be confirmed are Jonas Knudsen, Jordan Spence and Simon Dawkins, while discussions have continued with Dean Gerken, Grant Ward, Tom Adeyemi and James Collins. Town have had an option to keep hold of Gerken, Ward and Adeyemi for a further season.

As previously reported, young defender Chris Smith and attacking midfielder Conor McKendry have been released.

Would like the thank @IpswichTown for the past 6 years at a great club. Met some great people along the way. Time for a new chapter ðŸ™ðŸ»âš½ï¸ pic.twitter.com/iDrD2T7MmC

WhoisJimmyJuan added 11:30 - May 18 Perhaps keep Collins with a view to him becoming part of the coaching staff? Otherwise with this lot, I would release. Freeing up their wages is worth more than their contribution I'm afraid. Had high hopes for Ward though.

Warkys_Tash added 18:01 - May 19 @TWTDPHIL Any news on Emyr Huws? for me he is a really big player for us.. he is still under contract until when? We need him fit & firing if we are to boss Lague One, he could be massive for us..we need top level Championship players to get us out of Lge1 not Lge1 players!

RobITFC added 18:48 - May 19 Warkys_Tash - Huws is certainly a " really big" player , mainly down to lack of fitness!

SonOfSpock added 19:03 - May 19 Maybe the list being released later than some clubs is so it doesn't give a clue to other clubs about what our plans are with a few targets.
