Mowatt and Kipre the only two I expect we’ll try to keep this season regardless of the division.

Didn’t realise quite so few only had just over a year left on their deals. May well be worth cashing in on some of them particularly those approaching or over 30.

Noone has any cash though!
This doesn't include Grant, we need rid of him.

I think Carlos will relish it... if the Americans don't get trigger happy.

I think they would be absolutely mad to get rid of him, very easy to appoint a worse manager.
The one thing he has not been good on is the transfer/recruitment market. Only Johnstone has really looked the part.
We really need another Ashworth to deal with recruitment and stop bringing in veterans with no resale value and who are here for one last payday.

I don't think Fellows will be off. Who will buy him? He needs a full season. He's not a premier League player yet. In fact, I don't think any of our players are Premier League standard.
No one is going to be buying players, wages are going to drop. Transfer fees will be low. We'd be unlikely to get more than 4 million for Fellows.
I can see our wage bill being cut considerably, so it will be interesting where we get our players from.
