Tomlin, Vassell and Vaulks have another year don't they?
McCarthy doesn’t seem to be keen on Glatzel, either.
Looks like there might be a purge on anyone who likes to play with the ball on the ground.
I think we'll probably end up losing the players we don't want to lose. Bamba, Hoilett, Sang, Brown, Bennett and Harris are all out off contract, as is Jonny Williams. I fully expect us to keep the younger ones as they will be cheap, and possibly Williams as a squad player. Hoilett looks to be on his way out and Bamba will obviously leave as a player. Bennett is the conundrum, is he wanted? I hope he stays but it's unlikely anyone else will sign him with his injury. The club have to decide whether to keep him without knowing how he will recover from his injury.
Players like Tomlin and Vassell are still under contract so I suppose it is up to a joint decision between the club and the players whether a deal can be struck to enable them to leave. Unlikely anyone else would sign them though , so i suppose the club is stuck with them for another year.
I would like to see us able to keep Morrison and Moore, and hope there is no money around from other clubs to be able to entice them away. Smithies is very good but allegedly on very high wages, and i expect Flint, Glatzel and Murphy are too. And the club also has to look at players who only have year left on their contract, like Vaulks and Nelson. To the club offer them a new deal or let go for nothing next summer? And we lose the loan players.
It's going to be an interesting summer.
Moore will be sold.
I doubt some of the players that need moving on we will be able to move.
If Mainz stay up then maybe a loan for Glatzel to see his contract up.
Hoillet will go.
Vaulks if Norwich up their 7m offer.😂
I forgot to add we have Gavin Whyte coming back next season!
Hoilett definitely
Smithies if we can get a decent price
Glatzel if he can be sold/loaned
Brown probably
Vassell on a free
Tomlin on a free
Harris probably
I think Bennett will be kept on, as will Sol.
The other youngsters like Sang will be offered a new contract.
If the rumoured figure of £30k per week is true then we may be prepared to accept a nominal fee for Smithies just to get him off the books.Quote:

Why not?Quote:

Bamba, Vassell, Glatzel, Bennett even - they can all go and we won't even miss them.
Why would we want to "Just get him off the books"?Quote:

I'd gvt Tomlin off the books because I dread to think what influence he is having on the U23 squad.
How do you know what position we are in?Quote:

You’re quite right no-one knows what the financial position and Tan’s inclination to put his hand in his pocket other than the club itself. With no parachute payment and the possibility of social distancing in the stadium when fans are allowed to return, there may well be a significant reduction in income.Quote:

This is a messageboard which is based on uninformed opinion which applies to your views on Tomlin. As it happens I agree with you about getting rid of him but not for the reasons you state.
it'll be our first year without parachute payments, so that's already a huge hole in our finances, which weren't exactly stellar to begin with. then added to that the fact that we've had no match day income for the last 12 months suggests to me we probably aren't in the position to spunk a million quid or more on wages for players who are unlikely to feature that muchQuote:
