There is much talk of a mini clear out but a reality check.
Firstly what Championship side is going to come in for any of our players. Chances are zero
Secondly which of the players is going to opt to take a huge salary cut to move on a deal to the lower divisions, Chances are zero
Thirdly we could offer some of the current squad on loan but that would mean we pick up much of their current salary which is not much of a saving.
Fourthly we might try to get those whose contracts are up next year tom go out on a loan with option to buy as they are likely to understand they will be released at the end of this season and will then struggle to find a club.
We may be able to persuade some of the clubs to take back their players in January who are underperforming but that will mean the parent club will have to pick up the full wages for a player unlikely to get into their own squad. Why would they want to do that?
We all agree the last window recruitment was poor and most of us cannot believe any scout who saw most of them play has seen anything to recommend them. Whether Durban had anything to do with it is a question. Some of these players were recruited after he joined so it would be surprising if he did not have some involvement.
We are likely to be stuck with most of the current squad and this will limit opportunities to recruit. I hope i am totally wrong in my assumptions

It's probably destined to end in tears, not mine though as I've seen it before, and will likely see it again. We'll survive, then thrive.and who hired and backed Tan? at some point we must realise that Acun isn't some naive child, he's the man at the top and should shoulder the blame as such.
He backed Shota and Tim, gave Liam a bumper contract and then sacked him a few months later. Tan may or may not have done whatever, but the bloke at the top calls the shots and it's all falling apart

Not that I can post on here no. Its the Internet mate.Any facts to back that up?
He knows he messed up. Thankfully he has decent people around him now.and who hired and backed Tan? at some point we must realise that Acun isn't some naive child, he's the man at the top and should shoulder the blame as such.

I think Rushworth and Zambrano will stay, Baz seems to think Rushworth won’t leave and we’ll possibly wait until Zambrano’s appeal is done and if his ban is reduced he’ll stay and we’ll sign himBedia, Rushworth, Burns and Zambrano would save us 20/30k a week on wages, dunno about loan fees.
Sell Omur 2/3 million possibly, just get Sinik off the wage bill. There’s 30k in wages saved.
Longman to go, 250k maybe, another 5k a week saving. Send Mehlem back to Germany. 100k and 5k a week on wages.
Cut the losses in Giles if we can 2 million, realistically a loan. Have to weigh this one up 15k a week off the wage bill.
Two keepers out on loan, Jacob, Vaughan and Jarvis. Maybe 5k a week saved there.
There I’ve saved you 90k and generated maybe 5 million in transfer fees. I’d say it’s doable, maybe not in the time allotted. If we want to stay up we need two wingers, a left back, a centre half, DMC and a striker.
6 players needed.
I'm no expert(if you are, I apologise) but I think you're maybe underestimating these salaries by some margin?.Greg Docherty was on £9k a week and was surplus to requirements,deemed not good enough by the Club and most of the fans.The staff wage bill in the most recent accounts was just shy of £30 million,some of these players(loose description) are earning big bucks,not that you'd know that judging by our lowly League position.Bedia, Rushworth, Burns and Zambrano would save us 20/30k a week on wages, dunno about loan fees.

That's how I see it too.Hopefully we're right. Others saying it'll end in tears but we'll be alright. I don't think we would be. I fear we would be absolutely screwed.He knows he messed up. Thankfully he has decent people around him now.
Jury's out for me but he needs to pray he's got the right team around him,he'll need to have?That's how I see it too.Hopefully we're right. Others saying it'll end in tears but we'll be alright. I don't think we would be. I fear we would be absolutely screwed.
So here's hoping he's got it right this time (the team around him).

He’s still here, or at least was last weekendHis title was Sporting Director, which is now Dublin's job title, so it looks like he must have gone too.
Yep, still here according to LinkedIn.He’s still here, or at least was last weekend
Not sure spending big is the answer, it hasn’t worked so far has it?We need to spend big in January to fix this **** show of a squad.
