I didn't make the link before, but I've just realised after watching the latest Salford City doc on Sky that their manager Graham Alexander was Fleetwood's manager when they won the League Two playoffs in 2014 with a winning goal at Wembley from...

Antoni Sarcevic.

Having watched the series, I have no doubt they'll try to aggressively pursue the best players from this season's League Two - especially players that Alexander knows. They want to be in the Premier League in six years FFS. It wouldn't surprise me if Sarce isn't the only one of our out-of-contract players who ends up there.

(And yes, I know he's denied he's leaving but we'll see).

I’ll reckon they’ll aim higher than that. The Championship players that will be out of a job soon will be at a record high.

Any ambitious lower league will be doing the same.

Morecambe had a loanee playing at fullback from Manchester United. In January United recalled him and immediately loaned him to Salford. He has not featured in any first team match day squad for Salford since his arrival. Don’t think Adams was impressed, although the replacement he got from Burnley has tempered his disappointment somewhat.

Guess that happens when your contacts in the game arent as good as they could be.

Will be funny when the proposed salary cap comes into effect for L1/2 clubs.

It did surprise me to learn that Nicky Butt is a full-time coach at United at the same time as being Salford co-owner; another significant advantage they've got over the rest of us. Imagine if Simon Hallett was a coach at Man City? (he'd probably chuckle at that thought).

The constraints of the salary cap will have a chastening effect on over ambitious clubs at lower league level, with ambitious directors. Salford's ground needs millions spent on it in order to make it a decent Championship club, let alone Premiership. Its' only advantage is that its' location in the NW hot bed of professional soccer makes it easier for prospective players not to move house.

Oh and likely Canavan and Connor Grant to go.

Taylor not being kept and possibly Joel Grant to exit as well.

Alex palmer has a big list of clubs chasing his signature, we have offered him a contract, WBA also keen to keep him.

Interesting that today’s retained list shows that both Canavan & C. Grant is being offered new contracts. Correct on Taylor & J. Grant, though.

He said likely to go - not they wouldn't be offered contracts. So may be joining other clubs?

Yes indeed, said they are likely to go, not that they weren't being offered deals. Bang on with Taylor, Grant and Mayor

Wouldn’t mind on either leaving personally. So do you think (gut feeling) they’ll both leave casual?

I'm looking forward to your posts later in the Summer, Casual!

Respect your opinion, TGrib, but think the opposite. Canavan had some good games last season and he was playing through the onset of diabetes. Once they get that sorted, he'll play even better. As for Conor Grant, I was not a great fan of his until late in the season, when he seemed to work out how to play in a Ryan Lowe team. And he has a tremendous shot on him. I think that there's a lot more to come from him and feel we need to give him more time. But, as they say, football is a matter of opinions.
