striker 7,579 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1 hour ago, Caicos Owl said: So how does this work for relegated teams then? If we have 10 players on £1m/year - what do we do with them? We can't force them to leave Best get some players signed, resigned then in the next week or so then and prepare a squad in case of L1. Most players out of contract, so will be a huge task to assemble a competitive squad under a salary cap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He'd probably have less losses to cover each year in Lg1 than he would in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites

Most players out of contract, so will be a huge task to assemble a competitive squad under a salary cap. That would require some foresight and having a number of plans in play..... unfortunately we don't seem to have anyone who has either of these The worry is that the comments about reaching the playoffs with this team are true and we will just go with the current lot, so no planning for next season other than to offer a few players who may have a transfer value a new contract Relegation will cripple us for years unless covid kills off a number of league one clubs 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mark.flem 289 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We need a left back & a mobile central midfielder for me. A striker on top would be a bonus. Until we get those in any forward is going to feed on scraps. Link to post Share on other sites

So there’s a risk he’s not good enough anymore. Would be happily proved wrong if he did come to us tho Link to post Share on other sites

Someone who’s quick, strong and powerful, and can lead the line on his own 1 Link to post Share on other sites
