Dale boss stands by release call
Striker Lee Thorpe, midfielder Mark Jones, goalkeepers James Spencer and Sam Russell and defensive trio Nathan D'Laryea, Scott Wiseman and Tom Newey have all been told they have no future at Spotland.
Hill has also made midfielder Clark Keltie and strikers Lee McEvilly and Kallum Higginbotham available for transfer, but has offered new deals to midfielders Gary Jones, Joe Thompson and Ciaran Toner.
The Dale boss - who insists he has no intention of quitting - said: "I know people will have their opinions about who stays or goes and that is fine, because I have mine too.
"I'm the manager and I will live or die by my decisions like every other manager at every other club.
"People have to leave football clubs it is part of the whole cycle, managers or players will go and at the moment I'm staying. I have no intention of leaving we have a plan and we are going to see it through."
