I’m a Wednesday romantic and believe if only Lee & Hooper we’re both fit and firing all would be well. I think James would say “dream on”! Think every owl in the land would wish for that as we miss their quality so much. Sadly time stands still for no man and think their time here is done.

optimisticowl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Question - If we say, get rid of nine of the list, will that sort out our FFP problems? I don’t pretend to understand the complexities of FFP, but getting rid of that amount of wages surely must help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I get the feeling there will be multiple 'out of contract' and 'overhaul' threads each week until the summer. This season really can't end soon enough for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get so upset because somebody dared to question king Westwood . I admit he organises his defence well , but Dawson’s wasn’t the reason we were hemoraging goals . I simply rate the lad (I know it’s mental going against the owlstalk consensus) There's certain players who can do no wrong with our fans, had Dawson booted half the balls out of play Westwood does he'd be getting crucified, same with Lees. Makes one mistake and gets slated, Hector does it every week but fans love him. Hutch is a far better player than Pelupessy but that tackle at Chelsea a prime example, gives away a daft penalty and fans sing his bloody name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Makes me feel a bit sick knowing we’ve got big Dave for another year and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Westwood and Palmer should get new contracts. Nielsen is a big unit and could be an asset in future. Nowhere near ready yet but I'd be tempted to give him more time, he won't be on big wages and I'd send him out on loan to get more experience. We would probably get a big chunk of his wages paid so effectively he would be almost a free bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 We also have to remember that it may be difficult for us to sign players next year. Therefore we may have no option but to keep on a few of these players, even if it's just on one year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he looked fit and lean last season is galling.

I'm sure he'll trim down when it comes to contract renewal time again next year. I'm really hoping we're able to part with before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However.. while he's here I'd like to see his physical condition and "sharpness" be the same as it was at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t pretend to understand the complexities of FFP, but getting rid of that amount of wages surely must help. Well the problem we have is because our projected finances for next season see us breaking FFP which is why we got the embargo, which was lifted when we showed the EFL our plans to make savings. I would guess some some of those plans would be wage savings - and those being people out of contract. With the 10 in that list you’re probably looking at wages of £5m a season at a guess.

Hack-Abusi Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Palmer as back up Maybe Westwood - not fussed if he wasn't given a new one Rest can be offloaded with some of the current shirkers put on the transfer list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Palmer definitely needs to be offered a new contract. Of the rest, Westwood, depending on how we see the way forward, and maybe, just maybe, Matias, if we are not allowed to bring in new players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
