The Finacial Statements for the club will make interesting reading, when they are available.

I suspect that there is a combination of reasons for what has happened.

There will be players who don’t want to be in the Championship and see themselves as worthy of playing at a higher level or don’t have the appetite for the slog that it is.

Due to the financial position, some players may have been asked to take a pay cut and were not prepared to do so.

There are players who may have been offered better contracts by other clubs - Berge, Odobert and O’Shea may fall into that chategory.

There may be players who can’t see themselves getting into the starting XI so want to move on - Twine and Benson are possibilities.

Then most of all, there are the finances of the club, requiring urgent liquidity upfront.

Add them all together and they may explain this transfer window.
