Shame for Green he's done well this season, and who knows we could be losing a late developer, thats the risk LR is prepared to take. As Bones said above, assuming he stays as he is he might struggle to get a place when the new guys come in, I also think freeing up the cash has been the more significant reason we've had to release him. Greeny will get a gig easily with a decent side.

Green not offered a deal. no mention of Litten turning one down? But you knowing more than James Smailes (or at least giving the full picture) is not a shock Dave.

Same here, Houghtons got a fair time left at the club before his boots will be filled by someone else , Green is playing well atm but wont be near first team 17 if the recruitment/rumours for next season come to fruition .
^^^^ THIS ^^^^
Fair play to Litten for wanting to move to progress as he knows he won't get much first team action apart from covering if Houghton is injured etc. As for Green he's been pretty good for us since he came back but has missed significant amounts over the last few seasons so the club may see they are better served moving on. We can't keep everyone and still be able to fit top quality signings in under the salary cap (we aren't Warrington after all ).
Wish them both well and best of luck for their future.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Maybe you should read the story in HDM then or this snippet from the article "Litten’s future is more certain with his deal at Craven Park now agreed, with Rovers having to pay compensation for the FC academy graduate due to the player's age and the fact FC had spoken to him about a deal."
Pretty clear as Dave K said Hull will receive a fee for Litten, he chose to leave to pursue first team rugby which he won't get while Houghton is fully fit.

That must have been added since I posted.
:edit: Just checked the link in my history, I'd posted without letting the full Trinity Mirror click bait pages fully load.Am happy to be corrected.

I know you say Houghton is only 30 but surely you can’t flog him to death for 80mins doing 60 tackles a game for the next 5 yrs even he might need spelling from time to time
