Retained 41 players!

How on earth do they afford to keep running like that? Plus they've just been relegated so you would think they would cut their cloth according to suit. You wonder why clubs are that much in debt.

Well that?s the folly of giving players cast iron contracts. When you want to get rid of them early you can?t

We?ve been guilty of that
