No way are Baker and Bell on 8k p/w, Baker 3k, Bell 5k would be my guesses.

Also, don't you think that Clingan would be on similar as Bell & Baker as perceived senior pros in the squad?
I think his main gripe from what I have read is that he is very injury prone and we can't afford to be carrying injury prone players in our squadWhat's wrong with Deegan? I think he is the type of gritty man we need in league 1. Not technically good, but he'll let you know you need to watch your back.

He never plays, he might as well be sat next to in the stands for half of the season, In these tough financial times we find ourselves in, we need to squeeze every penny. having someone who never players we might as well just flush a wad full of cash down the toilet every week.
But we do need back ups and squad rotation. I think he is a valuable squad member.
There will be quite a few gone before the start of the season, looks like the same as last year. Less players, no new players and same manager.
Take a pill. Lets be positive from now on. We have to get rid of these high earners first (and maybe unwanted anyway) then we can rebulid with enthusiastic players.
first we need to make sure that all the players that have gone and will be going, is that there wages are available to bring players in not just dissapear like last season :facepalm::facepalm:
Dont forget though that we lose something like £3m in TV revenue this season!
If Andy Thorn doesn't want any excuses next season, he needs to get rid of as many players as possible and build a team for league one.
If we are to bounce straight back up, we need to build a team for the Championship. That way, promotion would be almost assured.
we have got alot of players on low wages already,i agree with skyblueindorset,lets keep most of this squad and we will stand a good chance of bouncing back
Back in the real world, they didn't want to fund Championship players in the Championship, what makes you think they'll do it in league one?
I believe that AT could find players in D1 (and perhaps D2) that could play in the Championship. I didn't mean get players from the Championship but get players that could play there.
If Clingan was offered £8000 a week, is that what others, like Bell and Baker, may have been offered?
It has been posted on here before that Baker is on £8000 a week.
As disappointing as Clingan has been, wouldn't you choose him ahead of Bell every day of every week. The extension of Bell's contract angered me as much as anything that has happened this season. To be a successful midfield player you need at least ONE of the following:
1. Ability to break up play and win the ball (Bell avoids physical confrontation by hiding in games)
2 Ability to create goals for other players (one assist only this year)
3. Ability to score goals (Bell scores one goal every two or three years.)
Why oh why extend his contract?
