That's an argument for saying that every club should be requied to stick with the squad that it has on the opening day of the season.

I agree that if Bury and Bolton survive, they could bolster their squads with what they can find in the out of contract market. I wish them luck with that. In January, they would be able to sign any player that they could persuade to join them, given that they are likely to be so far adrift that they are likely to be recruiting for League 2. I wish them luck wth that too.
