I agree, from what i have heard from the club if Gilmour had re-signed then we would have not been able to keep Ashurst and Dixon. Given that choice you need to go with youth, otherwise you end up in the same situation as Wigan are in.
People who have labeled Ashurst and Dixon as workers and squad fodder are being very unfair. There are many Saints "greats" who looked nothing special in their first season at the club. Dixon especially has shown some good touches.
It is very sad that Gilmour is going. He is probably the most underated player in the League. Lossing him is a bigger loss than Long and Cunningham IMO. But it is still a loss that needs to happen for our long term success.
