Lee Crossan said: "It depends how long they have left to run on their contracts, if we were pushing for promotion to the championship I'd say no but as we were fortunate to stay in the football league I'd say take it, this has highlighted how good our scouting has been for a small club"

Richard Kail said: "I'm expecting players like those three to go at the moment anyway. It's our new transfer policy.

"Bring up youngsters and sell them for a profit, if we can't get the crowds every week, we need something to supplement. I'd probably want closer to £2million for those three combined though."

Andy Hart said: "Would hope they would include some clauses regarding future transfers say 20% of future sales"
