But we will be into a whole different scenerio wages wise if we get into the premier. There are young up and coming starlets on thousands a week even at the middle to lower end of the division.agree, but we shouldnt be too stingy
putting Vik and Gus on £50k for example with a 4 year deal and a relegation clause would still mean decent money back in 12 months if we went down again
I feel like the playoff final is more of a must-win for us than Luton. Both Hamer and Gyokeres could both attract serious interest and leave and if we don't invest well, we could regress.
Pretty sure Sheaf signed a new contract a couple of weeks back.
Sheaf, O'Hare and Bidwell I have no doubt would be in the squad most weeks.Those on the move at the end of the season will know, some should we stop in the championship more if we go up. Take Gyo & Gus from that list would the bulk of the rest make decent squad players ?
The club won't overspend in the prem , they will have relegation on their mind and won't risk putting the club in financial ruin , we will be sensible we'd have no choice
I hope we make an attempt. Frankly the wage bill has to go to £60 million plus. The season Derby surrendered was an embarrassment
That mirrors the two scenarios for Doug King.Is this the way it will go I wonder.
Don't get promoted, retained list...
Wilson
Cuffy
McFadzean
Panzo
McNally
Bidwell
Sheaf
Allen
Eccles
Howley
Palmer
Godden
Tavares
The two Stevenage lads
Plus one or two others
Do get promoted, retained list....
Gyokeres
Hamer
I suppose we can boost to that but only offer 3 year contracts , that end when parachute payments ( hindsight ) you'd imagine Robins will want to have a go , and we will be more competitive than what social media believes .
We have to get their first
I would be very very suprirsed if Wilson and Allen went. With Moore likely going, I think Robins would be unlikely to want to find 2 keepers this summer. More likely we sign a new first choice and Wilson goes to Number 2.Makes you wonder what goes through players minds regarding promotion.
Is it the win bonus or do they back themselves to stay?

You’re right, but even if we assume relegation is certain after being promoted, we would have to come down with a squad of players who are more likely than not to get us promoted. Nothing but love for the current team, but that’s not how I or anyone else would describe them. Finding ourselves back in the Championship one year from now with largely the same squad would mean something has gone very wrong.We’d be mad to just flog everyone not of standard. I’d expect us to approach us as cautiously as possible budget wise. Release clauses/wage drop clauses, a few key signings and lots of attempts at value. Likelihood is well come straight back down and a lot of the “not good enough” lot will be needed again.

Just do an extension sticking out of the middle of one of the existing ones.Liam Kelly should have his own brick wall on the CBS.
For me it'd largely be a case of releasing those whose contracts are ending that might have been renewed otherwise.We’d be mad to just flog everyone not of standard.

No Doyle? For me way ahead of Panzo.Is this the way it will go I wonder.

Wilson, NC, Allen’s work rate has something to offer.Ohare
Palmer
Sheaf
Hamer
Vik
Fadz ( he just gets better with age )
Eccles ( has the attributes just needs to bulk up )
McNally if we can get him
Doyle back on loan
these boys can cut it in the Prem, but we would certainly need reinforcements
Just got to win one more game
I caught up with my mate over the weekend who knows the Dabo familyRealistically though who is that? Do you keep Kelly on? Dabo? Otherwise everyone else is pretty much already confirmed to go.
Sad isn’t it and remarkable professionalism and kudos to them all and robins for the shared dreamI caught up with my mate over the weekend who knows the Dabo family
She said that he hasn't been offered anything and as of a week ago neither had Kelly, Walker or Rose.
Says his house is already on the market too.

Very true and hugely important in their next role in the game as well if they aren’t offered a contract with usBit sentimental that - they will be on win bonuses and a performance at Wembley will be helpful in raising their profiles. You work as you are paid till the end anyway
Isn’t that the case for most of the teams going up via the play offs? By definition the squad must the one furthest away from being strong enough for the next division up.Sad isn’t it and remarkable professionalism and kudos to them all and robins for the shared dream

Average wage of £50k? Bit drastic.
