With the chairman's update this morning moving to a 'hybrid' full time playing squad model, this will make a difference in who stays and goes. Training a JCS 3 days per week. Players who have full time jobs and play for us alongside this will then have to make a decision to play for us full time and quit their job or not play for us next season, some will want to, some won't depending on the career they have outside of football their own situation. Players will also have to commute to Boston 3 days a week for training + home match days rather than the current northern training base, so that will also have an impact on the decision for any that don't live near Boston. I'd expect we may lose 1 or 2 of the current squad because of this but long term will be good for the club to progress, and some players will welcome this move e.g. in a podcast a few months ago Burrow said he'd go full time if the opportunity came. If Hull release Nixon or Chadwick, I expect this now makes Boston a more attractive option for them next season.
The move to the JCS to make the club financially viable and allow investment into the playing squad will allow us to progress on the field now. We've often been in and around the playoffs in the this league but never really made a serious title challenge, hopefully, that can change now, I think it's got to the point where it would be very hard to win the league without going full time.
