It's certainly weird, when you work so hard to achieve success, and that very success costs you your job.I know we're not there - and might not make it - but it must be awful for players who, over the years, have fought for their shirt to get their club promoted only to be let go and deemed "surplus to requirement", basically, not good enough for a higher level. The way of the world, I guess.
If we went up, why would we keep Dabo?Robins has already alluded to a churn of players this transfer window. Even if we get promoted, we should keep players like Dabo, Kelly and McFadz around the squad. They won’t be starters, but players like this typify the spirit of team and to lose them would damage the fabric of the team. Looking at Forest this season, I think they tried to transition too quickly and it took a while for them to gel as a club and may still get relegated.
Irrespective of what happens next week, we’re in a transitional phase as a club since we need to add some serious quality to our team.
In my opinion, only Gyokeres and Hamer will be able to cope in the Prem next season if we got there. Perhaps Sheaf, Doyle and McNally could make the grade.
Pretty sure Sheaf signed a new contract a couple of weeks back.If we went up, why would we keep Dabo?I get McFadzean. Seems Kelly may already be on his way out anyway. I can't blame him wanting to continue. He's 33, so has a couple of years or so left in him you would have thought.
At 36, McFadzean is right at the end of his playing days. Certainly at a higher level anyway. He would be great to keep about the club though for sure.
Doyle I rhink, will definitely play in the Premier at some point in the future. I just don't believe it will be with us, but let's see.
Sheaf, maybe. We would definitely keep Sheaf I would have thought. I just don't get, Dabo.

Don’t think so, in the prem we will only be allowed two loans so I doubt they will be youngsters even with the potential of Doyle. I’d think MR will go for premier experiance.If we go up I could see Doyle being back next season, I think a loan to a lower end prem team will be his next step, possibly the same for Norton Cuffy.

As for Cuffy same really but I’d tempt Arsenal with a cheeky bid to get him permanently, don’t think there’s any chance of that with Doyle.
Yes I know but I don’t think we would go for two up and coming kids from the prem that we’ve done recently.You’re only allowed two from other PL clubs, you can have more from abroad
At leastHe’s clearly an influential and popular player in the squad.
If we got promoted, how many players would we sign? At this rate we’d likely have to sign at least 8-11 first team players.

You don't think O'Hare or Palmer have what it takes to play in the top flight?
I'm not sure if I'd call what Forrest did a strategy, it was more throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticked.If in the premier players will all be playing and training with better players some will move on but the likes of Sheaf, Palmer, a fit COH should thrive, but football is a revolving door, take Forest for example bought something like 23 players in the summer and are a win, maybe a couple of draws from safety and kept their faith with manager, if they survive that strategy will have worked and can build on it.
Yep deal with that challenge when you get thereOhare
Palmer
Sheaf
Hamer
Vik
Fadz ( he just gets better with age )
Eccles ( has the attributes just needs to bulk up )
McNally if we can get him
Doyle back on loan
these boys can cut it in the Prem, but we would certainly need reinforcements
Just got to win one more game
i dont think anybody would play for £100 p/w thats nowhere near minimum wageI really hope we dont sign people on £100p/w contract and cripple ourselves
i dont think anybody would play for £100 p/w thats nowhere near minimum wage
Well looking at the table they could lose their last two matches and still stay up, I’d settle for that next season, if we get there.I'm not sure if I'd call what Forrest did a strategy, it was more throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticked.
agree, but we shouldnt be too stingyok ok
£100k then

Does Kelly get a year Extension if we get promoted??I know we're not there - and might not make it - but it must be awful for players who, over the years, have fought for their shirt to get their club promoted only to be let go and deemed "surplus to requirement", basically, not good enough for a higher level.

Those on the move at the end of the season will know, some should we stop in the championship more if we go up. Take Gyo & Gus from that list would the bulk of the rest make decent squad players ?Think if we go up we will need to have the following still in the squad, not necessarily the first XI as 1) its counter productive a lot of the time to have a completely brand new team and 2) we will not be able to afford to replace them all.
Gyok
Hamer
Sheaf
Bidwell
Eccles
O'Hare
Allen
Palmer
Wilson
Obviously this excludes the loans.

100%Well looking at the table they could lose their last two matches and still stay up, I’d settle for that next season, if we get there.
