You'd get rid of ALL of those? F*ck me, Hoboh, I knew you were mad, but that's going some.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

All very well clearing the decks, but it leaves a very thin squad. Have to hope the kids come through in numbers - or incoming freebies don't ask for much in signing-on fees.

[Armchair Wanderer]

Hoboh, that's 15 out of 25 in bold! Having said that I only have a strong argument with you with Ricketts, maybe Jussi, Klasnic if he does well this year and Eagles. Why don't people like Eagles? He's done quite well when I've seen us recently.

Positives...
We're not giving crazy contracts to over 30's.
The players we have next year are generally a good standard/younger next to what we might be losing.

Well done Phil!

Its not so much dislike for me.. more like frustration. He never ever tries to beat a man.. always comes inside. He can be fantastic for a game then poor for the next 3 or 4.. he constantley looks to shoot even if there is a better option on.

This is what I think we miss with Petrov not playing.. he likes to get to the line and put a ball in. Can't remember the last time we put a ball in the box from the wing.

[officer_dibble]

Nowt wrong with eagles! hard worker which in this team puts him above most. doesnt hide.

good math you guyyyys

[Wandering Willy]

So, IF we don't go down this season (which we probably will), we'll DEFINITELY go down next season.

Or secret option three....
We definitely go down this season and probably go down next season too.

Ban yerself!

[CAPSLOCK]

Simpleton

He's right fcuking footed and should be on the right wing

Put him there and he can go wide

It isn't his fault his manager is a prize cock

Kakuta on the right and Eagles on the left...good fcuking lord

[Whookam]

So we have loads of players out of contract and we may not be able to afford to keep those that we want. Thus we lose a substantial portion of our squad and replace them with a budget of practically nothing.

The black cloud on the horizon is not just our impending relegation it's the possible struggle in the coming seasons.

Chungy signed an extension, we have until 2013

Eagles shoots because nobody else apart from Klasnic can put the ball with 5 yards of the goal....

As much as I think that we are already relegated, I do think that we will have an excellent chance of coming straight back up with
the players that we will 'hopefully' still have.

I can't see Holden & CYL going anywhere after long spells out, no one will want to spend big money on those 2 until they've got back to full fitness and are producing the goods again

As well as those two, we would also still probably have the likes of Wheater, Ricketts, Mears, M Davies, Reo Coker, Muamba, Eagles, N'Gog, Klasnic ?, they are easily good enough to get out of the championship

All we'd need in the summer would be a decent new keeper, another CB and another striker, and possibly another LB if Alonso isn't available

[Prufrock]

It's wages though, innit? I agree players wise, that should be more than enough, but the likes of Klasnic and Reo-Coker will just be a get shut asap job.

Even without Klasnic & NRC we'd piss the championship....

We would have a midfield of any 4 from Holden, CYL, Muamba, M Davies, Eagles (Pratley as a back up), even the likes of M Davies
would excel in the championship.

In terms of wages we'll save several millions from getting shut of Jussi, K Davies, Knight, Robinson, Petrov, Steinsson, Sean Davis, Cahill etc...and I suspect that even the likes of Blake, Gardner will be on around £10k a week ?

If we go down very few senior players will still be here. We are already likely to lose in excess of 20M this year. Add 40 odd million to that and a club who wouldn't be able to service such a large debt. Would be a firesale.

I'm not sure we have any sort of side that would 'piss' the championship, West Ham would have thought that, have spent millions and are still not exactly pissing it are they?

So even getting rid of approx 12 players we've enough to piss the championship ????????????????
Send me some of your happy pills !! Even the squad we have now isn't strong enough to piss the championship.
Get real.

Not at all...its all part of the 'long term' plan that Gartside & Coyle keep speaking about !!

I would suspect (although I may be slightly out), that we'd save around £10M a year from the wages of all the out of contract players and possible salary reductions of the remaning players under contract (hopefully built into their contracts), plus the probable £7M from the Cahill sale in Jan and any token fee's they may get if anyone actually wants the likes of NRC & Klasnic.

Financially I suspect that we'd be able to survive a season in the championship, although if we didn't come back up at the 1st attempt then I agree we'd be in the shit.
