A good interview and some good reading there, a lot of it unsurprising (tight finances) but some which seems to fly in the face of a certain media report from yesterday, i.e. Keiffer Moore would take an exceptional bid to prise him away
We desperately need to build our team for next season with Moore in it but with sufficient 'back up' to allow for injuries and/or fatigue
Let's be honest here, those who have been released haven't really been shocked or surprised most of us and we knew the three loanees were on their way regardless
The 'retained' list should be out shortly and I don't see too many shocks in there either, as we look to trim the wage bill after the pandemic and ahead of our first season without a Premier League Parachute Payment
Keep the spine of the side (only three IMHO) intact and shake up those around them and there is no reason we cannot push/compete for the top 6 again. In fact, that's the minimum we should expect
For me, the spine of the side should be...
Either one of the keepers (probably Dillon Phillips on cost grounds)
Sean Morrison (Captain)
Keiffer Moore
Of the others, apart from the likes of Perry NG, Sang and a couple of other young guns, I don't think there is anyone I'd be 'desperate' to keep, as I feel the squad needs freshening up; particularly in the midfield
Bringing back Harry Wilson (highly unlikely but we can but try) would be a massive boost, as would the potential re-signing (on loan) of Arsenal's Tutu
Beyond that, I actually see some 'smart' signings from Mick McCarthy and I feel we will start the new season in better shape than last...

the retained list these days can have no real surprises ....as the club are obliged to keep under contract players {wishing to sell them is a different issue } , which then leaves decisions on the 5 or 6 senior players out of contract which we know and probably a few of the under 23s.

Also said virtually everything was for sale at the club and the club at a price.

Tbf I can’t remember a time when that wasn’t the case. The key is not to sell too cheaply.

On the other hand the pubs in Canton will be full and we will be in the top six.
I don't know but people don't half post some shit on here but to be fair everybody's got an opinion.

I am hoping Big Mick will be able to put together a strong team including some of our new youngsters, some of our best and some good loans.
The coming weeks will be interesting.

We are getting mixed message. One minute we are reading about cut backs, next minute we have had a bid accepted for a striker.
Only this summer will reveal the answers.
