SR should make £85m to £100m then exit.

Why would they stick around?

Theyve proven they can do it at this level. Go to a club that isn’t a basket case

Out of contract players people. Might have to scroll through a few pages before you find anyone that wishes to join us.

Completely fair point and I would understand if they move on

Scienza's statement is as honest and heartfelt as you'd expect from him. But it also read as a bit of a goodbye too.

He's getting on in years and would be an idiot to chain himself to our sinking ship

Good luck to him

Wonder if we can tie Larin and Stewart down?

I guess that's one way to stop them leaving, but I'm fairly sure it's illegal.

[SambaMaverick]

Matsuki has put out a statement ending in "Thank you very much for everything"...

If we can find the right woman, they might enjoy it.

I read that as a goodbye tbh. 

[The Wyvern]

I think once the dust settles down we'll end up retaining more of our players than many expect.

We'll still have good quality Championship level players like Fellowes, Matsuki, Manning would be my guess and we'll get good money for those that leave.

Biggest shame will be Peretz and Larin not joining us, particularly Peretz for me who made an incredible difference.

Been there, got it wrong, never to be repeated. But yep, Baz'll be back. 

[skintsaint]

Just need Stewart to get seriously crocked at the WC to top it all off.

He won’t even be fine for League 1 the next season.

Admin is probably the only way to get rid of the SR vermin so bring on the crisp packet wrists.

Agree. We'll likely lose THB, Scienza, Jander and possibly Matski.

[revolution saint]

I'd expect Charles, Jander, Scienza, THB to definitely go.  Peretz I doubt we can get, would be nice to think we could get Larin as he seems to like it here and given his recent record before he came here then he might be tempted if he doesn't get a better option. Reckon we've got a decent chance of keeping Fellows and Azaz.  We'll probably have a half decent squad capable of challenging for play offs again.

Tonda will obviously be gone so if we keep Spors that probably makes things a little smoother.  If both go then that's going to be quite tough for any new management team to come in and hit the ground running.  Thank god for the return of Damion Downs.  That's one bright spot at least.

Thinking about it, him getting injured (not seriously) before / during the World Cup might be the only scenario in which he stays.... If he has a good World Cup then surely he'll be off? (Unless he feels he owes the club another season for sticking by him the last few years?)

Not sure about Azaz if Boro go up. That would be pretty painful. Agree about the others though. Would be class if Larin stayed. 

Wonder if Aaron Ramsdale will return?

[SNSUN]

Players who might still be here (all IMO and it's very difficult to decide right now) based on Wiki first team.

GK - Baz (unless sold out or loaned). That's it. Macca will leave ooc,  Jones released and Long loan ends. Peretz? Loan ends. Moody? Yes.  Ramsdale? Sold. Major surgery here.

 

RB - Bree? Possibly. Roerslev? Probably. Sugawara? Sold. Jelert? End of loan

LB - Manning? Probably. Taylor? Released. Welington? Maybe sold. Larios might still be here though!

CB - Jack? Yes. Wood? Yes. Quarshie? Yes. THB? Sold. There's also Kayi Sanda. 

 

CM - Jander and Charles sold. Downes? I'm on the fence. Bragg? Yes. Rom maybe moves into a coaching role. Aribo? Released. Smallbone? Released, probably. Williams? Yes. Sesay? Yes. Major surgery needed here too.

 

RW - Matsuki?  Yes unless sold. Fellows? Yes. 

LW - Leo? Sold. Edozie? On the fence, maybe sold. Robinson? Yes. Surgery here. 

AM - Fin? Sold. Need more AMs.

 

Striker - Ross? Who knows. Should sign him up. Larin? End of loan sadly. Archer? Yes, maybe. BBD? On the fence. Maybe loaned again. Downs? Sold/loaned. Oyekunle? Yes. Major surgery here too.

Plus a smattering of our younger players like Dibaga. 

 

So probably 2 keepers, 1 left back, 1 centre back, 2 CMs, 2 AMs, 1 LW, 2 strikers - 11 players needed.

This is all IMO and a worse case scenario but it means I can look back through the summer and see how dumb and stupid I was. Besides we don't know which part of the roller coaster we'll be on come July.

Poster boy for SR. Faded, ripped poster in a disused underground station of a dystopian future. But still with us after so many others have gone. 🙂

[badgerx16]

If we end up with Baz in goal and Archer up top with BBD we are fucked.

 

On the positive side, we only need to aim for 8th to get into the playoffs. It all depends on who the new DoF and manager are, and whether they can instill a strong team spirit and style of play early on. Look at what Hull have done this season.

-4 points is not a disaster.

My predictions:

McCarthy - Retires/stays on a 3rd keeper

Roerslev - Is he fit? Presumably he'll stay

Manning - Stay

Downes - Stay, unless Ipswich come back in for him, or West Ham perhaps...?

Stephens - Stay

Harwood-Bellis - Sold

Aribo - Hahahaha. Contract up I think? At least his wages will be freed up.

Smallbone - Stay

Larin - I'd like to think we'd sign him and stay but we'll see.

Azaz - Stay

Stewart - Hope he stays.

Scienza - I think we'll get an offer that we can't refuse and he'll be off. Good luck to him

Bree - Stay I hope.

Wood - Stay

Quarshie - Stay

Fellows - Stay

Archer - Stay unless he wants more first team football

Jander - Probably sold, hopefully at a decent profit.

Charlie Taylor - I'll assume he'll be released

BBD - Sold I hope.

Edozie - Sold

Charles - Sold unfortunately

Matsuki - Stay

Romeu - Retires

Bazunu - Just go. Please.

Jamie Jones - Lol

Welington - If he wants to stay then great but if there's interest from Brazil I think we'll sell him

Jelert - Back to Turkey

Peretz - Want him to stay, think it depends very heavily on whether there is interest from other teams or if his only option is target practice for Harry Kane

Jay Robinson - Stay, shame about his injuries but think he can be a big player for us next year

Bragg - Stay

 

Sugawara - Sold ASAP

Downs - He'll get another chance but I'm not optimistic he's improved at all.

Ramsdale - Assume someone somewhere will want him but not sure what his options are tbh.

Juan Larios - ???

 

So out of all of that, I think from the current first team, THB, Jander, Charles and Scienza almostly certainly we sell. Jander as well possibly. Hopefully that will balance the books somewhat, along with Ramsdale if we can find a buyer, and then a few other deadwood to get rid of, and then we can rebuild. CM seems like a bit of a weak area but at least we have Smallbone back.
