Time to be brutal.
No sentiment.

Spence
Coulson
Wing
Howson
Saville
Assombalonga
Fletcher
Akpom
Stojanovic


Loanees [in - at the moment]

Bettinelli
Kebano [Keep if we can afford to]
Yannick [Keep if we can afford to]
 
hmmm, I get what you are saying, but we haven't got a GK ready to replace Bet, or any young wingers ready to come in for Kebano and Bolasie.

The youths that might be ready for a go are Colburn (CF), Hackney (CM), maybe Malley (CM), the others I don't think are anywhere near ready.

We know Ass is going.
Fletcher is lightweight and not worth the money.
Im sure Neil can get a replacement for Saville at half the price.
Coulson and Wing havent cut it.
Spence - "non league or Premier League" - he1l have to find out but not playing for us.
Howson is too slow and his age has caught up with him.
Akpom isnt up to the mark.

Agreed "Frozen" - we dont just blow them out without lining up replacements.
But you only build a team by working with those you want - and get rid of any opportunity for dissent and problems in the dressing room.
I suggest that those in the top list are passengers - weve tried to get the best out of them - but few regularly go beyond 6/10 in terms of consistency and effort.
Its a subjective oppinion, but team building is about fluidity, not standing still.
Teams are either on the ascendancy or on the wane.
We need a fresh start.
Im convinced Neil has the experience and contacts to build a successful team and take us up to the next level.

It would be great to keep Yannick and Kebano - if we can afford them. They would have a guaranteed season in front of them and feel more settled and commited. When your in transit you cant always focus and achieve your best.

I hear where you're coming from (y)
We won't be able to shift senior players on any sort of contract though. Loans for some youngsters or out on nominal fees if not kept for squad depth.

I wonder if we can tout Sav and Jonny and let people in the game know they are available and we are open to reasonable offers?
If Rangers take on Assombalonga, we might get some pennies for Sav and Jonny?
Fletch hasnt agreed a new contract, so he can exit stage left if he wants.

I like Howson but he's another year older & struggled the last month or so, agree with the others mentioned r00fie lad

If possible Yannick & Kebano to stay
 
I think the following will go

Couls
Britt
Fletch
Spence
Wing
Archer
Bettinnelli

of the other loanees and short termers I’d keep NML, Yannick and Kebano if possible (but I’m not sure Yannick or Kebano will be here tbh)
