I’m not sure what some of you expect us to do this season with regards to the squad??? We are right up against FFP limits, as a club we either press the reset button or we press the shit or bust button, Chansiri has said he won’t exceed FFP so the reset button has been pressed. We have seen Brighton, Derby, Forest, Wolves, all reach this point, two pressed reset, two pressed shit or bust, one got promoted and the other was on a transfer embargo for 18 months.
It is going to take at least 3 transfer windows to change the make up of the squad and start to build a team again, in the meantime we might squeak into the play offs. Getting rid of those out of contract is a start, moving Rhodes off the wage bill helps, sending Fletcher to Greece would be a real bonus and if we can promote 2-3 youngsters then we will benefit financially from that, but we won’t be splashing any cash this window.
