Darthter 542 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would imagine the selection process to along the lines of: - Offer reduced wages to all higher earners - release players whose contracts are ending soon - release players with minimal sell on fee The team still has to maintain some success on the park, otherwise fans won't pay the money to watch. That being the case, selling ALL your best assets doesn't always make sense. Also selling players at the moment would be VERY tricky due to the transfer window being closed. Cutting the deadwood is the easiest and most practical solution at the moment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It will be more a case of asking players to accept lower wages "to help the club" than of getting rid of them. Say the wage bill is £5m per month, if you could knock £1m off that it's a lot of money. The fans support is crucial here as well, what team is on the park will be a direct reflection of the income generated in this period. The wage bill is more like £1.75M a month - 50% of outgoings at £3.5M per month. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
