Imagine if it happened to supporters.
"withdeanwombat, you're 68 now. We're sending you to support Yeovil."

All the leavers knew early in the week. Certainly by Tuesday and every player I have a feeling will be met in these current few weeks. So all of them will know whether their chances of first team football will be limited or not in the coming season. I suppose then it is up to them and their Agents whether they try and find them new clubs or not.
Calderon is the strangest one. I thought he might have been kept, I truly did; however, he wants to continue to play and apparently he is one of the hardest trainers still at that age. He won't go far I don't think though because he wants to continue all his charity work if he can, so I think Crawley as you suggest would be ideal for him. And who knows, I think he will be back at Brighton in some capacity in a few years. Possibly as some sort of goodwill Ambassador or something like that

5 have been released and none of them were in the first team. Greer only played when Dunk was suspended.
The two loanees have gone back to their club, but that's not to say that Sidwell isn't having talks to come back.
Given his football experience, coupled with his teaching and sports psychology qualifications, I'd hope that when he does stop playing, we can find him something way more valuable than a purely ambassadorial role.

A sad day when we have to say goodbye to these three
But the right decision

I think Crawley or possibly Portsmouth would be a sensible move for Calderon.

Seems like we are going to sign at least 5 players maybe more if Holla or JFC go?
I used that as an example only because I don't really know all the roles that are kicking around or what might be available in the ''situations vacant'' at the club when he does eventually hang up his boots.

I would prefer quality to quantity and bring in at least one versatile multi positioned player like Rosenior.

I assume we can't offer Sidwell a contract or make an approach until he officially becomes a free agent or is offered a new deal.

Well I'm delighted that Bruno should be here next year. Love the fella.
Business is business though. We gotta plan for the future. Calde and Greer deserve huge thanks for their efforts over the years. Hopefully, the boffins can bring in very close like-for-like younger replacements.
