Pretty sure that if they don't find another club we pay them for June as well.

Nice video on Twitter. https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1134827974778347520

I'm absolutely delighted that in the matter of a few days the club have not only sorted this out but are also on the verge of making a new signing. Purslow impresses me more and more.

A bit surprised Deano didn't keep Whelan on as an old-head for another season. They really are committed to bringing the age of the squad down, good to see it isn't just talk.

That has to be around £250k a week in wages off the books in total - £13m over a year. Incredible.

As Bunn, Richards and De Laet didn't play at all while Jedinak, Elphick and Hutton were bit-part players by the end of the season, that money can certainly be put to better use.

Now to offload the contracted players who don't really contribute such as Bjarnesson, Angela and Fat Ross and we really will be in much better shape financially.

No surprises there.  I wasn't keen on keeping Whelan.

So eight have already departed and to be honest I didn't expect any of them to be at the club for the 19/20 season, looking forward to see who we sign over the coming months.
Cheers for the contribution Wheelo, Hutton Jedi and Albert.

All the best for the future & thanks for everything, Glenn.

Who would have thought a penalty miss against Preston would make such a difference to us?

Best of luck to them all and best wishes to the Cabbage Thrower who made such a vital contribution.

Thanks to Albert, JedI, Whelan, Cafu and to a lesser extent Elphick. Bunn and de Laet meh. Richards good riddance.

Feels a bit ruthless in our joyful post promotion bubble but we need to be to succeed.

What is the point of this thread if everyone is digging up all the individual player threads to comment on ?
