do you understand 'minimum'?
In that case you are stating the obvious. If you had said minimum 5 senior pros are leaving, that would be a different story. |

We can all throw vague guesses around then massage our ego when something close to what you said actually happens. It's like listening to a clairvoyant.

FFS , no one knows exactly how many players will go or how many will stay . Not the manager , not the players , not the chairman . It depends on the offers on the table and wage demands .
What part of that simple formula do you not comprehend .
It’s the same at any club in the country .
Why make such a big issue out of it ?
ClaretParrot of unknown gender does have a point tho'. It could be an issue ? |

Surely if any of them were so desperate to leave then why have none of them handed in a transfer request

There's one or two clubs forums in for me. Obviously I can't reveal sources out of confidence however I wanted a forum nearer my home in Leicester. And the Reynard may be involved... |

I don’t know but I can tell you it’s not good news . It makes you wonder what the point of pre season is if all you are doing is getting players fit for someone else to poach . Funnily enough , no one wants those we want to get rid of . |

If this doomsday scenario does come to fruition won’t KT come under some serious scrutiny after he suggested only last week that the main success of the summer was that we had managed to retain more or less the same squad from last season? I know he followed it up with the catch-all everyone has a price but if we lost say 3 or 4 of our best players on the eve of the season starting and then got off to a poor start (which is possible looking at the fixtures) then hot on the heels of a relegation and with a complete mess off the pitch I think the natives may well be getting pretty restless.

Especially when the club is up for sale . I would say the scenario you outline above is quite possible , although it may only be two or possibly three top players . It may be none of KT digs his heels in but I can’t see it . |

One minute you say it not good news and the next you say no one might leave. So which is it? |

I look at this logically.
I reckon KVV, Waters, Crookes will all leave before August is out. I can seeing us cashing in our chips with these 3, taking the best offer for each of them.
Taylor *might if a decent offer comes his way (and ours).
We will sign a few loanees.
I have zero inside info on this, BUT if I was running a Football Club with my head and not my heart, Im considerably down since I came in…Im looking to sell…Id be full on with regards to the exit strategy, trying to maximise my 'investment'. On the flip side, if the deal is likely to take some time, Id be considering a deficit of circa 1 million quid on the wages and trying to reduce that as much as possible.
The one glimmer of hope Im hanging onto though is that the striker we signed from Posh suggests that a fire sale isn't the total and utter priority and assembling a decent squad is the main criteria. Which does totally contrast with my overall thinking.
We shall see. Lets hope that whoever he is talking with is telling him he needs to keep our best players for the deal to go through! Because if I was the buyer, thats what Id be telling him!!
So basically, in a nutshell…anything can happen. We can only hope its good for us at this stage!

I am going to go all out:
At LEAST one player will leave, and at LEAST one player will join before the end of the transfer/loan window.
You heard it here first, I cannot wait to be proven right. Then I can be the messiah of transfer news and add this post to my signature.

Wages are key here. They are very unlikely to get what they are on here elsewhere. So do tgey take a cut and leave or stay here and suffer the agony of lg2 football that they themselves inflicted on us? |

I just can't reason with the 'playing at a higher level'. Who'd take a pay cut to earn a promotion in their workplace? |
