Do you think we’ve come near to the £25k a week savings we need to make yet?
Don’t you think it would be strange that two high earners went early in the window if they hadn’t been made available for transfer?
Not really know, they both wanted out once the final whistle blew at Walsall and the club have supposedly turned down numerous offers, especially for Crooks.

No because every single player in lg1 and lg2 is avalible for sale should their asking price be met.

Playing the conspiracy theorist it might explain some of the limp performances recently although I shouldn’t really provide them with an excuse for being sh*te. If they are all being offered around then firstly why haven’t Pierre or Turnbull (our only real 2 remaining saleable assets) been snapped up for a pittance and secondly given KC’s public falling out with the Carlisle board over pretty much the same thing how come he hasn’t gone public or walked away?

What action? You've been saying all the players need to leave anyway following two seasons of underachieving. This is a way of helping it along providing players like McWilliams, Pierre, Morias, Bridge and possibly Turnbull are kept. No one will want most of them in any case.

Indeed they did....the first week of the window KVV went and in the second week Crooks went after Rotherham had spent a week negotiating the deal. If they both wanted out after Walsall, why didn't they both go in the summer? Or was it that they both put on stellar performances in the first half of this season and suddenly found themselves in demand?

Because rightly or wrongly KT thought keeping them may get us back up. Clearly that hasn't happened and they were no better in league 2 as they were in league 1. So, with no sign of us going up this season the time is right for cashing in and getting them off the wage bill.

I'm.not bothered about 99% of the players leaving, your right about the majority they are not good enough. But if its KT that has transfer listed them then it indicates that we are up **** creek financially. Hopefully the trust would be in a full picture of what us going on and protests should begin if it is proven to be the case

Getting them off the wage bill for getting them off the wage bills sake? Or getting them off the wage bill (and getting transfer money) to invest in replacements? It was pretty obvious to me what KT was going to do after he said that the wage bill needed addressing either this window or the next. Yes, granted they did not perform consistently enough, granted they were on decent money for little return......but they are better than not having anybody at all. Van Veen, Crooks and Waters had contributed almost half of the teams goals this season...and they haven't been replaced. There's still time though I guess........

KT has a decision to make - continue with the asset stripping and get well and truly sucked into the relegation battle (although to be honest we probably already are) and possibly lose our league status which presumably will cost the club thousands or leave it now as is (unless he can somehow find someone gullible enough to take Powell, Hoskins, bowditch etc off our hands) and let KC bring in one or two reinforcements. When we get to the summer with our league status secured he can finish off the “housekeeping” and KC can build a new squad. By the way, again with the conspiracy theorist hat on are we confident that all of these injuries are legitimate (if you know what I mean)?

We've scored 5 goals in 2 games though GPC. The thing that's killing us is these late goals, under DA and now under KC.

Since when did we have any assets to strip other than players KT and the board spent out on ?? We dropped a league and like any club that means cuts to match the new level of funding, only rich teams can afford to maintain the same salaries in a division down

Whole club is a total mess on & off the field...Sleepwalking into a needless relegation battle...
Only positive is the youth set up...
I too have heard pretty much the whole squad (bar the youngsters) have been made available for transfer with their names being circulated to all L1, L2 & National league clubs...not necessarily a KC decision but a Club decision.
If true, KC doesn't strike me as someone to keep quiet about this if asked, but the local press seem pretty scared to ask him any direct questions so I'm sure we'll all be kept in the dark as per usual.

Keep going TP; its hard work and can be demoralizing...for some! I have come to conclusion it is best not to discuss a game with anybody who has known negative agenda. Whether they go and watch the game (or on iplayer) or not.

Soft underbelly and questionable mentality. It takes a good manager to change that...you can coach all the skills and tactics you want, but their mentality is a different ballgame altogether. We’ve lacked leaders for a while....

I agree entirely with Glasto that I couldn’t give a sh*t about anyone else (possibly excepting bridge who looks promising and Sean McWilliams although he has regressed recently) but it is imperative that KC is backed to bring some reinforcements in (and I’m not talking unattached players who have been training with us or on trial).

This is what I was referring to almost word for word, they had a trial game last week, a trial game ffs ! surely the players we should be looking at are currently employed, the only name we have been positively linked to is Nile Ranger, and no way on gods earth would I want him anyway near our club, although thankfully he didn't make the grade required im told. they throw out the weve made a bid for a player, same old story, remember Simon Cox ? We have gone all tin pot again just 3 years after one of the best seasons we ever had . look how those players we didn't deem good enough ar doing , Collins, Marquis, even Rico is still scoring. We are a joke
