    Who would your retain list be, what players would you try to persuade to stay, for me, if we can keep at least 4 preferably 5 of the following I think we would have a good chance of going straight back up and building a team around them.

    Sinisterra
    James
    Adams
    Gnonto
    Summerville
    Drameh
    Cresswell

    Sinisterra
    Adams
    Cresswell
    Gelhardt
    Georginio
    Wober

    I see that Adams is now wanted by Liverpool as well as other prem clubs plus German, Italian and Spanish. Gnonto is already in Italy and expect him gone for good. Summerville already in Holland and wanted by a couple of clubs there plus a couple in the prem and Germany

    They’re all on long ish contracts so keep all of them. If they’re not happy about it let them rot in the reserves.

    It’s about time the club played hardball with the few quality players in the squad.

    Sell the absolute crap like Firpo, Bate, Greenwood etc.

    The only quality player I’d reluctantly let go, if a decent offer came in, would be Rodrigo. At his age and with the wages he’s on it would make sense for both parties.

    I’d forgot about Rutter, if he starts the new season it will be exciting to see how he does with a proper coach (assuming we get one)

    If I had to lose one on my list it would be Gnonto for big money, only due to Sinisterra and James being available

    You'd let Rutter go?

    That’s a team likely to get relegated from the Championship forum and sit in the wilderness for 16 years. All while senior moderators ban posts and members until further relegation occurs. They will then hope for a new manager to arrive from the premier league of Twitter to get the forum back to the premier, but alas the old guard will fail and despite valiant attempts to climb the forum ranks, many will leave for waccoe.

    OLOF - because he must have a marvellous sense of humour to post such political bollox on a daily basis, and pretend he believes it

    doc - we only need one person who occasionally seems to know what he’s talking about, any more would be overkill

    Ell- have to have a token Southern Jesse, needed all the more now Ted lasso has been fired

    that’s it, the rest can go, need a complete clear out

    don’t know about you mate, but I wouldn’t want to join a club that would have me as a member anyway

    PS Greenwood, but he seems to have faded away.
