Isted is a good player and I’d like to see him at Barnsley - but to be honest I’m not that bothered which employees goes or who comes in - and that extends to Duff.
We will get a good replacement whoever leaves.

The only people that need to remain at the club are JAQ, James and Neerav.
This solid base will form the foundation of any success the club has in the future.

The only concern I have at the moment is that we get a good deal for whoever goes.
For example - Sheffield Wednesday supporters are liking the look of Mads.
If Mads goes then I’m sure the present group of directors will demand a fair transfer fee for him.
I’d be very surprised if Wednesday would be able to afford that valuation.

However, if Mads did go to Wednesday then it would cross one of my red lines.
The red lines being:
1) Players are not sold in January if we are in a relegation or promotion battle.
2) We get a good deal for any player sold (which has yet to be accomplished by the club).
3) Players are not sold to our rivals for supporters ie Leeds and the Sheffield clubs.

As been disclosed by the club - contingency plans have been put in place if we got promoted or we stayed in the 1st Division.
I’m confident that all eventualities will have been covered with regard to individuals leaving - and that extends to back room staff including the head coach.
