With loan players going back we do also have the opportunity to move lots of players out.

I doubt the manager will be here to make those decisions.

I would keep;

Goutas
McGuinness
O'Dowda
Turnball
Siopis
Ng
Joel Colwill
Ruben Colwill

Unsure on either keeper

I would like WIlson Esbrand to come back too

Everyone else can go

It all depends what contracts people are on and who would want to take them

Goutas is loaned here so we may not get a choice on him.

If you can't take criticism as a professional footballer then your doing the wrong job. They are hardly playing well either so they should expect criticism

Pay to play contract? Do players ever agree to those?

im not sure, but i remember us offering fowler one years ago but he rejected it then years later he did a interview and said his biggest regret was turning it down and not staying with us

Players we should definitely keep:

Horvath
Alnwick
Ng
Goutas
McGuinness
Phillips
Siopis
Turnbull
Colwill
Wilson-Esbrand
Grant


There are others but I think those players above are good standard players at this level and we can add others to the squad involving them.

But the big question is who is going to take the players we want to get rid of? They’re not on low money so will need to be offered the same money by other clubs.

It won’t be easy and we also have all these loan players coming back that we want to get rid of.
