i don't think anyone wants to keep the majority of the squad at all. think most are saying they would be happy to keep 6-8 of them.
if under contract great
if not they will have to accept lower wages in league 2.
if they happy to do that great, if not we move on a sign a new player.
We need to offer players under 24 at least equal terms to what they're on for us to get combo though. I imagine we'd do that and they will sign them.
You've already said you'd like to keep Reid, Haynes, Bigi, Thomas, stokes, Beavon to name but a few.
Kwame Thomas, Turnbull and jones are on long term deals. You keep Reid and Beavon that's at least 30% of the wage bill - so then resign out of contract players as well - how does that work?
Lameries is 50/50 and I think his performances between now and the end of the season will determine if we offer him anything. Haynes and Thomas will definitely be offered deals and that suits us if they sign or not as signing means we keep decent young academy products and if they go then we will get compensation. Even a small figure of comp could go a long way in league 2 where the average wage isn't much different to what a lot of us get.Haynes and Thomas won't I suspect. We'd be insane to offer Lameries one.
Those under 24 need to be offered at least equal terms or we lose the right to comp though.never said i would sign haynes initially, although he did well sunday. as for the rest that is about 6-8 yes.
you resign them for less money to fit the wage bill.
if reid wants too much then ok both parties move on.
the same principle applies to brand new signings too. i think your point is existing players are on l1 wages which is true but what i am saying is we offer reduced terms, take it or leave it.

Not sure it works quite like that TBH. I know we have to have offered them something to qualify for compensation but I don't think its on equal terms for the simple fact that a league one club is never going to be able to offer terms equal to what premier league clubs can offer or for that matter what the vast majority of championship clubs could offer. That would surely load the youth market in favour of the top two flights damaging the lower tier clubs finances severely. Sort of defeats the object of having a compensation system.
It's definitely that. If not football manager has been lying to me for years. I think it benefits lower clubs as Orem teams don't just offer higher money for players they don't want for compo as the player would accept the contract.Not sure it works quite like that TBH.

I don't think insane comes any where near to what I think of the useless c**t...he's like a 10 year old playing against menHaynes and Thomas won't I suspect. We'd be insane to offer Lameries one.
At lest equal to their current terms
Don't think he is good enough to build a team round him, Tudgay and Lameiras on the other hand, build a fucking wall round them and keep them thereGeorge Thomas should be offered a new deal asap and build the team around him, just gets better every game.
I'm sure that Mark Robins is talking the OP under advisement as we speak.

If we manage to keep Stokes, Harries, Stevenson and G Thomas, I'll be pleased.The fact that many seem to want to retain the majority of this failed squad I find incredulous. Regardless of that though can anyone explain how it's at all realistic.
The wage bill will be completely slashed. I would guess a £500k reduction on a bill of £1.7m so how will out of contract players be offered new deals?
We need many new players to address a losing mentality.
I can't see us retaining hardly any of the out of contract players and big earners (Reid) must be transferred out.
I'd think we will lose the vast majority of the squad
Not that I'll be shedding any tears.
Tony - what do you think mark will make of this one?
Ok, who would you build a team around, steve? If not G Thomas then perhaps Ben Stevenson?Don't think he is good enough to build a team round him, Tudgay and Lameiras on the other hand, build a fucking wall round them and keep them there
If you had seen Lameiras play the other night at Sheffield you would change your mind, utterley utterley useless.. I don't personally think we have anyone worth building a team around so we have to go out and get someone that may be worth trying to build a team aroundOk, who would you build a team around, steve? If not G Thomas then perhaps Ben Stevenson?
I agree with your comment re. Tudgay, but Lameiras, I believe there is a player in there, somewhere, but just not with us.
It's stupid to build a team around anyone. What happens if this person you built the team around gets injured or leaves the club? A team should be just that, a team, each working for the other and the whole stronger than the sum of the parts.<snip> I don't personally think we have anyone worth building a team around so we have to go out and get someone that may be worth trying to build a team around

I think the term 'building a team round' is just a reference to thinking someone may be good enough to 'build a team around' don't worry we won't be getting anyone soon to even remotely think about doing thatIt's stupid to build a team around anyone.

I know of a lad who has come through the ranks of Blackpool. He was being loaned to places he didn't want to go to. He wasn't treated that good. But as his contract was coming to an end they offered him an extra fiver a week. I think his dad said that as he was offered an increase he didn't become a free agent.Not sure it works quite like that TBH. I know we have to have offered them something to qualify for compensation but I don't think its on equal terms for the simple fact that a league one club is never going to be able to offer terms equal to what premier league clubs can offer or for that matter what the vast majority of championship clubs could offer.
