Has anybody thought about this

Couldn't agree more. Just hope that we can manage to hang onto these players, plus Hegazi, as they could be the backbone of a successful Championship side.

Dead right. I will be amazed if we keep Hegazi. Love the guy but so do many other clubs and commentators. Gets mentioned a lot every week.

Not totally with you on this. I do agree that the players mentioned have been great servants and are the heartbeat of the club. I also believe Dawson is now our best player along with Jay Rod and I would try to keep them and hopefully we will, along with Hegazi and Gibbs.

However, as Fergie was always quick to identify there is a time when the players need replacing and I think time is up for several of these great club servants. I don’t see Yacob or GMac being first choice even in the Championship so I would let them go. James Morrison is all about fitness - will he be back to full fitness next season, if not let him go. Foster and Brunty I would keep.

We need to be more ruthless and not just in being quicker at sacking Managers.
