Happy to be stuck with you..?

Wow. 13 players on contracts until 2020.

Outside of Gabby, Richards and maybe McCormack and Elphick, I think we can probably get rid of any of those contracts without having to do something like subsidise the wages to a new club. Probably have to accept a cut-price fee on a few, but still, could be worse.

We can probably farm out Westwood on loan to another Championship club in a season or two providing we rebuild the midfield properly; I reckon a change of scenery would improve his performances enough to convince a suc-um, team to take us off our hands.

We will finally see the back of Alan Hutton at the end of this season?
