you may have heard but there was a snippet of king on the radio this morning saying howard has not been offered a contract as he sees smith and howard competing for the same position.
im guessing hes thinking he would rather be able to offer smith better terms than end up losing both players which to be honest i think is a good idea!
he did say that if smith goes then howard would be offered a contract but after this interview im sure howard will tell him to fuck off so it could blow up in his face!
i hope smith will stay now though if he is going to be offered more!

I heard this and am well cheesed off. I think Brian Howard will offer us a better season next time around, with him wide out left and smiffy in the middle alongside migz. This shows that King is useless at his man management skills. He's not even prepared to offer BH a contract....
On the other hand, if we do get Lee Holmes....but surely you shouldn't rest on your lorals (Spelling?).

I think on last season's performance only one of them deserve to be given a new deal, and that man is Smithy. He had an excellent pre season, then very harshly dropped, comes back into the first team and by the end of the season is second top scorer. Howard in comparison did nothing to suggest next season he'd have pulled his finger out. If his ability was as great as his ego, then we'd have something worth keeping.

stfcfan, If Howard had played as well this season as you think he would next then he would have a contract offer and Smith wouldn't.
If you have a limited budget and think that only one player is affordable a choice has to be made. You can't sign both on at the expense of not being to rebuild the rest of the team.
I hope wherever Howard ends up this acts as a kick up the arse to work harder not to waste his glorious oppertunity of beeing a pro footballer.
Lastly by choosing Smith it obviously shows King knows he ws wrong not to play him, even if he hasn't said as much. I'm shocked!

Strange one that as he was in the press himself saying that the deal he had been offered was not acceptable as he wanted two years rather than one.
Shame to lose a gifted player but he hasn't been consistant enough and if we manage to secure the services of Shakes and Holmes (perhaps a snippet of hope there) then he would be bench material again.
