Makes perfect sense. Also shows his confidence and desire in working with and improving players.
Trim the squad, add 2/3 of quality and give an opportunity for the youngsters to step up.
I wonder how many transfer windows we'll need to achieve that!
So.... nothing really happening then. Not much in the way of firm links/rumours.
If we signed no-one, would it really matter? We've probably got enough quality to stay up: haven't we?
If he were from Oldham, and his name was Ralph Hutchinson, I reckon people would start to ask questions now.
He's not though. So he's probably safe for a game or two yet
