I have been thinking hard for a few days and reckon that nobody whose contract is ending will be offered an extension, or for the few that are then it'll be on a drastically reduced basis. Morrison, Moore, Smithies, Ralls, Vaulks and Murphy will be gone and replaced with cheaper league 1/2 young players. I think everyone will be up for sale. We will have to become sustainable for the first time in ages, can't see Tan forking out big sums on a regular basis again. I'm quite looking forward to seeing McCarthy build his own team

I don't think we will sell all of those, but perhaps 2 -
Re: My predictions for the new season
I reckon 1. Moore.
Smithies is on too high wages. I think we will hang on to Morrison.
Nobody will come in for Vaulks and Murphy.
Im sure if we made Ralls available Warnock would have him for starters.Comment

Re: My predictions for the new season
I genuinely think we'll have a radically different squad next year, we can't keep spunking millions on players that turn out to be crap and then need their contracts paying up. It'll be full of young enthusiastic kids, who may take time to settle in.Look how well Sang,Colwill and Ng have done so far.Originally posted by Hilts View PostComment

Re: My predictions for the new season
I have a feeling we are about to enter a period of austerity and that everyone on decent money will be gone. Including Morrison. I hope I'm wrong.Comment

Re: My predictions for the new season
If we have a team full of young enthusiastic kids including, and others on par, with Sang, Colwill and NG we’ll get thumped and relegated.Originally posted by tomcat View PostComment

Re: My predictions for the new season
The vast majority of clubs have had their budgets shrunk drastically by a season without stadium revenue and, thinking about Andre Ayew, the only way to permanently get rid of a player is to: i) find a buyer who the club and player are happy with, ii) wait until their contract expires or iii) buy them out of their contract.
It's unlikely that McCarthy gets to build his own team until the year after when some of our higher earners have had their contracts come to an end.Comment

Re: My predictions for the new season
I wholeheartedly agree, but it's what I've heard is going to happen from more than one trusted source. Morrison and Moore have intrinsic value and will be easy to sell, we'll get cut-price younger versions of both. Watters has been identified as not of the required quality and will get bombed out tooOriginally posted by EastbourneBlue View PostComment

Morrison may go.Originally posted by tomcat View Post
The others you need buyers. Isnt happening in my opinion.
I think the matchday squad come August will have around a dozen current squad members and 7 maybe 8 from this season in the 11.Comment

Re: My predictions for the new season
Moore will be bought. I think we'd accept relatively low fees to get some higher earners off the wagebill.Originally posted by Hilts View PostComment

We all know nothing. Your general pessimism is unwarranted. Wouldn’t want to party with many of you.Comment

Do you see us keeping our best players and Tan funding a promotion charge?Originally posted by Stanmore Bluebird View PostComment

Re: My predictions for the new season
My opinion is that there will be minimum movement both at City & elsewhere. Maybe a couple moved out and a couple of loans.
WBA & Fulham will go straight back up. Peterborough & the play-off winners straight back down.Comment

Re: My predictions for the new season
Who knows? As supporters we have to hope for the best scenario. With so little money being around and our players already vastly overpaid, I can’t see them taking a drop in wages to move to other Championship clubs. None of them are true Premiership standard so I don’t see them being poached by their teams.Originally posted by Eric the Half a Bee View Post
As for Tan, we need his money just to keep the City afloat.
I don’t know how we will do next season; there is no particular need for pessimism in my opinion.Comment
