Panther heads list of departures

Moving on
By Sebastian Gibb April 26 2008
Club captain Manny Panther has been released by City as Colin Walker continues to trim his squad. Others that haven't been offered new deals are Ross Greenwood, Chris Hall and Anthony Lloyd. Craig Farrell has been offered terms but could still leave on a free transfer under the bosman ruling.

Manny made 132 appearances for City after signing from Partick Thistle in 2005.  Back in January he was given the chance to extend his contract beyond the summer but turned it down.

The release of versatile defender Lloyd is likely to raise a few eyebrows among supporters and Walker revealed how it wasn't taken lightly: "He's an absolutely fantastic person.  The emergence of Andy McWilliams, though, was one of the reasons behind the decision."

Walker also commented on the situation with Farrell saying: "There's not a timescale on it but I think it's a very good offer.  "While he's debating on whether to take it though, someone else might come along and take his place."
