Would be happy to see most of the current first team squad released and they could not complain they have been truly abject and should be prosecuted for impersonating a professional footballer, but seriously I know that will not happen but would probably only retain 6 or 7 of them Richards as a back up GK, BSD, Offord, Agyei, Uwakwe and Long of the kids who featured in the first team didn’t really see anybody worth keeping. So I think we probably need to bring in approx 12 players so a massive job ahead for the head of recruitment.
Don't forget Sambou and (sadly) Gomes also under contract for next season, though no doubt they'll try and get rid of Gomes again, unless the new Manager has a very different view of him!
