Brutal Timing - Wrexham Announce Which Players They Are Releasing As The Team Is All Drinking And Partying During A Free Trip In Vegas

So the Wrexham boys are out in Vegas again. This is now their tradition. If they get promoted, they get an all-expenses paid trip to Vegas and go balls to the wall for a few days. 

I don't care who you are, you get an all-expenses paid trip somewhere enjoyable, you're going to have a time. However, it's still a business. It's normal for clubs to have to make cuts after a season, promotion or not. That's what happened here.

Brutal. No one ever wants to get cut, but it's a business. That said, let's check in on how Ben Tozier and Rob Lainton are handling it: 

That's how you handle it! You get drunk off your ass, get as much out of the free trip as possible. Assume they are in Vegas through Sunday or so, these guys better be leaving with the biggest hangover out of anyone. Not like they have to worry about hanging out with the group anymore when they get back. Sure, they might be friends, but you gotta contemplate retiring or finding a new team. Fuck about that in the time being. If you've ever gotten laid off, you want it to be during an ideal time. You want to be laid off right before the NCAA Tournament or a holiday or the start of summer and can go golf. Take some time off, trick your mind hat everything is fine and do shit you want for a week. 

There's no good way to do it. I'd try to get the announcement out before that plane takes off. I'm sure the players knew they were getting cut. It's rarely a surprise that it happens over social media, but for the optics you gotta put that announcement out quicker or just wait until they get back home. No one cares if it happens next week.
