So difficult to say who will want to/have to go, but we do need a core of players retained - we can't expect to bring in twenty or so players before the new season, much as we all shout 'clear the deadwood'. Although I wouldn't be bothered to see anyone go really, it would be practical to try and keep some our of better players. I would like to hear a contracted player say 'I want to stay - I helped to get us into this mess and I want to be part of the future going upwards again'.
I'd have a lot of respect for that - of course, I might just be living in a fantasy land.
