2012 Summer.

These are the following players whose contract does not run out and are expected to be at the club next season. Is there anyone who is currently heading out of contract who you would like bwfc to keep hold of? or would you prefer a complete clearout like i do and then get it down to its barebones and find players to bring in who are younger and more energetic.
Financially efforts were made to reduce out-goings..for example replacing Eagles for Taylor. We made 700k and i imagine Eagles is on £22k a week at most...Taylor was made out highest earner when Megson signed him..huge savings.

Bogdan
Lainton

Wheater
Mears
Alonso
Riley

CYL
Muamba
Holden
Reo Coker
Mavies
Eagles
Pratley

Ngog

I would probably keep hold of Ricketts aswell, but i would not offer anyone else a new deal. Thoughts?

I think we would have over 50% of the wage bill available to work with, think of the possibilities..

I think this question is academic until we know which division we're playing in next season.

There are players who will leave if we go down - including the ones most people would rather have kept. There are also players who would still be more than good enough for Championship football that I'd strive to keep, but who might not get a look in much if we stay up.

In other words, there's a Prem list, a Championship list ...and a ' doesn't matter which division we're in, they can go ' list!!

in answer to the original question if we stay up would offer ricketts and jussi new deals,the rest would release without question.would use the freed up money to bring in younger players.it does not look a bad squad of players we have under contract if all fit.something to build on.

Don't discount the Cypriot players just yet !!
Their leagues are not PL standard but they are rising. One team has reached the CL proper this year and two towns feature in europe in some way each year. But the tip off may come from Campo not the crazy one here but the real one, who was playing at Larnaca until he hung up the boots. You never know a word in the shell like of Owen from Ivan may have sent a scout on holiday already.

You might as well take Lee and Holden off as they will go once fit if we go down. They are far too for championship. Also if we get good money for them say next summer yet we are in the championship then most of it will go to cover losses. Without them two the rest are not up to much. Apart from maybe bogdan.

i find it more disturbing that your spelling is much much worse than mine... and you have the lyrics to 'freed from desire' on your profile...

(a quick lyrics search on google confirmed this)

strange strange man...i like this one, can we keep him?

I best mention for Rebel that Holden and Lee contracts both end in 2013...so new improved deals to be offered to both in the summer, after all after being out for a year i imagine they would sign, no reason to not..fingers crossed that is!
