We definitely don't need or want the bulk we had in the squad last season.
Right now I'd settle for 6 new signings: a new GK, DL, 2 CBs, a ML and CF. Then give over any benchspace left to our young uns. If we get injuries get loan players in.
It’s that time of the year again as players have returned back to training.
So currently I understand we have a squad of 19 which I’ve left the vacant positions and squad numbers from last season until a time new squad numbers and signings are announced.
It appears there could possibly be six players out of contract at the end of the month but I’m not sure how accurate this is. Perhaps others can verify?

We'll know if we've any hope of being a functioning club when those contracts expire. If we can't afford to give Osborne or Dunne another year then we truly are screwed as in football terms they're on pennies.
If (and when) we Go into admin how will it work with signing new players? Obviously we need some. Can we?
We can't sign anyone. If you owe money to HMRC you are automatically under a transfer embargo. Will we even be able to renew contracts for the young uns if we wish to do so? Who knows and I'm fast getting to the 'who cares' viewpoint. What a monumental **** up we are.
Flogged? They can go on frees now apparently if they can get someone to match the current wages.
None of them are likely to be at Notts County when the season starts.
It really is that dire.
