15 players over the age of 24, many of whom are likely to move over the summer period. This includes 2 goalkeepers who most would hope to see replaced plus the bloodsucking leech who won't actually play for us.

This helps to emphasise the need to recruit some experience into our squad.
 
Reading that list of over 24s is quite scary.
Leave out Watmore and there are at least seven outfield players who are going or we want gone including Rodwell, two crap keepers leaving five senior pros including Cattermole.Then without massive team strengthening the kids are going to get plenty game time next season.
It's going to be a busy few weeks in the transfer window.
 
So we've let go that lad who featured last season and was supposed to be a prospect, Mali was it?

Just a theory, but he's only 16 so maybe he's missed off that list on a technicality because he's under 18. Could be wrong though. It's Bali Mumba by the way.

Aye that could be it. It just seemed strange to have one of the most talked about young prospects on the chopping block so soon.

Billy Jones, Marc Wilson and lua lua all left the club with Oshea. Could have worked it out from the list but here's confirmation all the same.

Watmore, McGeady and McManaman would do very well in League One I'd think, if they are up for it. Matthews I'm "meh" over". The rest can royally **** off.

Mathews showed he's a very good championship fullback. Hard working and we'll above this level. As for the other two, they rarely looked arsed. Not my kind of players.

There's 8-10 from the other list who can clearly do a job, add in players coming in and getting 18-20 players should be straightforward. The question is how far they finance the new boss as a few more would still be needed. Going to be a long and interesting summer, so much time yet but great to see some business being done early hopefully!!

We can expect up to two dozen apparently if all goes to plan, shifting players I presume will dictate that though but i'm guessing it's as many seniors out as possible being the plan.
