Prob me being thick but…
Starts with say 30, get rid of 8, making 22, then bring in 3/4
That’s getting rid of 8 in total.

We have have 33 contracted players on the books at the moment with nine out of contract at the end of June. That will leave us with 24 if none of the 9 exstend their contracts.

Your not being thick Andrew there is different ways of reading it , the way I read it was he wanted to reduce it from 33 to to about 25 plus youngsters, I have no doubt there will be sales so reduce it by 8 then bring 4 in means 4 more to go just my thoughts on it. :bluescarf:

Are players under certain age not counted as squad members for purpose of match day squads? As we have several youngsters Mabe that's the difference in what we can see? For argument sake if squad is 25 and got five 18yr olds would squad be technically 20 if this was case?
