For a club that's got no money we do some very stange things
1)We have a first team squad of approaching 30 players, many of which are of similar limited ability. Wouldn't we be better with a smaller squad of better quality players.
2)Loan players are meant to enhance a squad, we have a habit of loaning pretty mediocre players or ones which are injured. All on the wageroll.
3)We started the season which an international goalkeeper, one with loads of experience at this level and two England youth keepers, yet two thirds of the way through the season we are paying to borrow a keeper from Palace.
4)CKR to Sheffield United for £150K. He's played pretty regularly in the Premiership and whilst he is not a world beater he is worth more than £150K. After all we paid Bury £250K for him.
5)Who negotiated contracts that meant that we had to have some of our most experienced players in the reserves for fear or having to give them new contracts on equal terms. And if it's true whoever thought that Kuipers was worth £6K a week.
6)I thought I read that McGee isn't rushing to get a job because we are still paying him. If we lose the first six games of next season we might be paying Wilkins as well. Whilst I think Wilkins deserves a chance, how on earth did he get a three year contract.
7)There will need to be some hard decisions made re Oatway, Mayo, Hart, Butters, Kuipers etc as to whether they offer value for money for another season (not three seasons). In retrospect Carpenter was given a season too many.
