It's pretty obvious that we're trying to reduce the wage bill and those players are all under contract for at least one more year, so they're going to be involved unless another club wants to take them off our hands.

Given the situation as outlined in the article, I would have thought player exchange deals would be a sensible way to go - there’s going to be lots of clubs in a similar position to us.

That's an idea. Do you think the players ready to be traded are those on manageable contracts only or could we end up trading one player for two so they have the better player without drastically changing budget sheet and we have moderately cheaper costs and players where we're short?

I think players and agents have to aware of the new realities of life in football outside the Premier League in particular- it seems to me that clubs have to seriously consider any offer for one of their players and be more creative as to how they can get deals done by, for example, offering bigger bonuses for promotions over basic wages.

Mick was audible in encouraging and directing some of our younger players from sideline this year. Younger players need that sort of support from both the managers and big characters on the pitch who can steal back points if ever a younger player makes a mistake - we should have mix of youth and Warnock's leaders next season and a baton handing over the following summer.
