Spookone Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 45 minutes ago, Ever the pessimist said: A major concern has to be that we lose those players but due to an embargo can’t replace them. I don't think that's how it works - they can't possibly not allow us to replace players otherwise we could be left without a team. If an embargo is put in place (which I don't think it will), there would be restrictions on wages etc I would imagine, which taking into account the money we are still paying some of the payers who give very little to the club may not be a bad thing. Get in some young, hungry players who want to make a name for them selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started compiling it I wasn't expecting it to leave us so thin on players. Just hope we are able to replace them with something that resembles a young, hungry and competitive team, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The most frightening thing is that we are still lining the pockets of " I will play when I feel like it Westwood" until next year. And I read somewhere that he is our highest earner. Makes yer want to throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Apart from a new deal for Fox all the players out of contract can go for me and must get rid of Rhodes. Didn't know Monks contract is also up, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 It's not so much the players whose contracts finish in June - we've known about these for a long time; it's as the OP states, the others whose contracts expire in 2021. I hope we go against our previous and largely unsuccessful policy holding on till the end, and ook carefully at any bids for these. BB, Lees, Westwood, Reach, Rhodes and Palmer could all me moved on for me, providing we have a plan for the new team/squad set up. They are either able to fit into this or not - if not, ship out for a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 All players not central to our plans, or not good enough to get promoted need to be moved on in Summer. DC will back the manager to get proper players in, the new manager will have a proper wage budget to work within. Great opportunity to attract a big hitting manager.

I'm all for getting rid of a large number of the squad but we need to replace them with better/hungrier players and just hope we're not forced into the bargain bucket.

S36 OWL Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 1 hour ago, The Horse said: If we get the points deduction this season, am I right in thinking the slate gets wiped clean regards embargoes? Meaning next season we get to go again from square one? If so, then we need to get points on the board sharpish, take the hit this season, stay up and let whichever manager is in place re-build the entire squad sensibly and sustainability. We need to build a young, hungry squad of players that will have a sell on value as they develop and improve. We need to look at Brentford as the model ro follow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The history of DC and even Monk to a degree would out doubt in a lot of people's minds. I hope I'm wrong come the start of next season and only time will tell.

Find a way to play and recruit playing and non playing staff to fit that ethos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The difficulty is setting the player salary structure. We saw in 2016 how suddenly with the influx of players, the current players suddenly want more. Whilst people are excited about Wickham, if they expect us to sign him permanently in the Summer, he'll presumably command Fletcher-level wages at least. Not sure how much will be left to go around, unless we ship out Rhodes, BB, Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
