That's...concerning. Devera would seem like an ideal value for money signing (disclaimer: I know fuck all about what our squad our paid).

If Ferry goes I'll be straight down the back of the Arkells Hmmm...

Devera was Barnet's player of the year twice. I'm not sure he'd have been as cheap as we think.

Gutted to lose then though,  even if we knew it was coming...

Wonder if all the players released are budget related or the fact Kmac doesn't rate them?

A club would need to pay compo for Flint, which might limit his options somewhat.

Jed stated previously that next seasons budget would be similar to this one. That didn't take long to halve.
I've seen this mentioned repeatedly by many different people but I honestly can't remember this statement ever being made by Jed or anyone else at the club? Can anyone find a source please?

I'm sure the statement was made at a Q&A (ask Tans/herthab), I don't thing it referred specifically to next season.
