Don't believe everything you read Babylon, I think MA would have got rid of quite alot of deadwood anyway, if MA REALLY wanted them (Muzzy apart) he would have offered them something.

FFS!!! Yes it is looking bare but considering everyone on has been harping on about a clear-out and re-building the entire squad then what do you expect? Do you need Micky to sign loads of new players before he releases all the dead wood just so we don't have a small squad an any stage! The season is only just over, it doesn't matter how big or small the squad is until at least the start of pre-season. We can't officially sign any players until june anyway, so there's no need to panic. To re-build and have a clear out you have to get rid of certain things so you can replace them, like everyone wants or are you struggling to understand what re-building means? Would you be happy for Adams to re-build the squad but still keep crap players and pay their wages but never even play them? hmmmmm that sounds grrrrrrrreat.

Let me explain something quite simple to you all, if you wanted some new furtniture in your house as all your current stuff is crap and it's no good keep using it then you would have to clear it out before you could bring the new stuff in, mainly because you can't fit it all in the fcvkin house! ADAMS HAS TO GET RID OF PLAYERS TO BRING NEW ONES IN

Bloody hell

I think the idea behind the cull is to regenerate. Let's face it, we will need at least 10 more players for next season so I for one am excited - who will we get?

10 players?? With what money?? The wage bill had to be cut from 20mil to 10mil cus of relegation which is why we let so many go. If we sign another 10 the wage bill would be massive again!?

I guarantee that we will sign at least 10 more players before the season begins.

I'm not sure we will sign more than 10, but it will be around that figure - Possibly 7 or 8.

Mace says we have a smiliar budget as we did last season, so around £4 million for players and wages.

Didn't he used to play for Arsenal?

No, he said we have roughly half of what we had last season.

£2 million then, not brilliant but easily enough to bring 7 or 8 in. Remember we won't be paying players £10-15k a week

True, so in effect, we'll be paying about half the wages of that in the Premiership (roughly), so the budget is similar in the sense of how many players we can bring in compared to last season.

bare squad

Ithink we need to offer potential newcomers a reasonable salary with a promotion bonus, in fact the opposite of what last years newcomers got i.e reduction if relegated!
