1 more game triggers an extension so he’s been released early.., |  | | |  |

I wonder if this means the club is confident Eze, BOS, and Chair will be staying.
Good luck to him. |  | | |

It definitely doesn't mean that Bazza. Come on mate. We were all being realistic a while back.
Eze and BOS will go, anning probably won't.
Good luck to Pughie, an excellent pro, had some good games, but never quite established himself. Am sure he was a great influence on the squad. Looking forward to him opening a restaurant when he hangs up the boots! |  |

Pugh gone. Took three flushes. |  | | |

Despite it being a perfectly sensible decision by the club this will no doubt cause massive panic on social media.
All the best Pugh, thanks for the effort put in |  |

Bit of a reality check for anyone talking about the playoffs. Doesn’t look like the club feel confident which is probably fair enough.
Not good news if five subs allowed as weakens our squad. |  | | |

Well, if the club resigned themselves to BOS and EZE going soonish, I think it would be risky leaving all the creative work to Chair by letting Pugh go. Unless they have someone else lined up or he's come back to training looking like Russell Grant. [Post edited 13 Jun 2020 17:59]

The French winger, Axel? Thanks to Pugh who appeared to be a model professional. |  | | |

Not quite done enough imo - no issues......it means the club is being managed properly, nothing more, nothing less. |  | | |

If what I'm looking at is correct that's 31 appearances with 16 starts (of which 12 league, 4 cup). How do they come up with these contracts...? Automatic extension after 1,500 minutes?
Oh well. Thought he'd give us a bit more on the field than he did if I'm honest (though we did seem more solid with him over Chair sometimes) but more likely a bigger factor in the balance of the dressing room.
Can't imagine Warbs wouldn't have been looking to use him during the run in, though he has also seemed approving of Shodipo. Is Charlie Owens fit again now? |  | | |

Just remembered Hamalainen will be back now with the Scots season over.
Possibility of Manning further forward and Hama at wingback? Maybe blood Franklin Domi too if we somehow find ourselves out of play-off contention. | | | |

Good luck to him, decent pro.
Suppose we have Clarke, Shodipo and even maybe the young lad Bansal-McNulty who can all play in that attacking part of the field |  |

He did pretty well for us and was seemingly a good influence in the dressing room. But he was also allegedly our most expensive player and therefore not worth investing in him for another season, which we'd be forced into with the extension clause. He's not going to get any better and tbh we could spend that money more efficiently next season. If clubs are going to have to release players because they've got too big/expensive squads we may pick up a couple of cheaper options for the same amount we've been playing Pugh.
Nevertheless seems like a nice player and wish him well. |  | | |

Not criticising his release, but how do we know he was our most expensive player? | | | |

Not that I am fussed by his performances to date, but has Clarke signed an extension? Seen Amos and Hugill, not sure about Clarke.
Timing of Pugh's release seems strange a week before the restart... |  |

It's got nothing to do with our confidence on reaching the play offs: it's a financial decision not to be forced to give him another year's contract.
I liked what he did for us, think he would've done even better given a good run in the team but Chair deserved to play most weeks. |  | | |

It's not strange IMO.
I expect that decisions will be made in the coming week about Hall, Cameron & Rangel. IF the club is not going to offer them a contract renewal, I don't see the point in extending the current contract by a month.
I'm assuming that this will be down to Hoos & Ferdinand rather than Warburton, although I'd like to think that conversations were held between the three of them! | | | |

This is exactly what will happen. Those 3 will be let go. Which means we probably won't make the playoffs for sure now. But we never thought we would really do that anyway.
53 points, is what we need, just one more fluky win. |  |

Honest pro, a bit mediocre really, but the right attitude. Wish him well. |  |

Good solid pro who always gave his best and sounds like a positive influence in the dressing room. Doubt the line about him being our most expensive player comes from anyone with access to the numbers, but wouldn't be entirely surprised if it's true: having come down from the Prem he's unlikely to have been on peanuts.
Sorry to see him go, but seems like a reasonable decision given the circumstances, dealt with in a decent and transparent way. | | | |

He’s also left in a amicable way according to Twitter. I wonder if he’ll look for another club? | | | |

Well spotted. Sounds more like they were going to release him and don't want to vilify him. So rather than him getting injured and not finding anew club, we make up a story about one more game.
Anyway, good luck to him |  |
