May be on less wages though. We need to get our finances in order, getting better may take longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get our finances in order, getting better may take longer I think the big earners will definitely be released, I'm not sure about Westwood, he's a good keeper but misses a lot of games, I suppose it will come down to his wages There's a case for keeping Palmer on his current form, I still maintain his final ball is awful, but I shouldn't think he's on high wages so it would make sense to keep him, but I'd be disappointed if he's first choice right back next season Bruce has had a knack of spotting decent up and coming talent in the past, hopefully he can unearth a gem or two It will be an interesting summer Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

A bit bizarre from Bruce, unless he was misquoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then couldn't there also be a rule that says all them 11 players can earn no more than 10k a week? We won't go down that route. whoever he wants to keep will sign contracts before the end of the season I am sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think we will see a lot of players given new contracts early just in case we are in a situation where we can't give any new player above a 10k wage limit. Or even offer existing players new deals above 10k. If that's how it works. Trouble is our players are high earners, why offer them new contracts. Thats what caused the problem in the first place.

Will be like sorting the loft out and getting rid of all that stuff just taking up space. Get rid.

Thats what caused the problem in the first place. Expect at least 3 or 4 of the players to be offered new deals similar to what they are on now. We won't lose them all.

When was the last time we had a dozen or so players expiring at once though? Doesnt happen very often, its a blessing if you ask me looking at our wage bill and injury problems.

We always seem to have a few. I'm still kinda hoping Hooper & Lee can prove their fitness. Realistically though, I agree that this maybe the year of the sh*tstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 There are 14 players out of contract, some of them on big money, most of them haven't been first team regulars this season The club would be mad not to have a big clear out Let them go and play in some other clubs treatment room Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
