That articles is so full of holes. Elston isn't CEO, Kay is OOC so a bid for him isn't necessary and Trinity didnt beat any big teams last season.

Having to shed a number of players is probably accurate though.

it did say in this mornings WE that the with 15 or 16 players we curently have we are running at next years cap, so maybe he (Mr Parker) has just taken 15 from the squad list total and arrived at a figure; as stated above lazy journalism if so.

Are Wakie going to just play their U19s next year then?

13 may be a touch extreme but I'd suspect there's still a fair few more out of the door yet.

Your speaking of saving on wages, But I doubt many clubs will take a players contract on for you for the next 7 weeks. So your stuck paying it.

And, Barring 1 or 2 that remain. The rest have minimal value in transfer fees.

The reality for us is that the ones we covert are the ones others would be likely to pay a fee for.

The mention of the contract date makes me think that the ones ooc will be amongst them and theres 4 of those i think? (Wildie, Kay, Goulding & Cowling). Add in the 5 that have already left (or about to) then there's only another 4 to go IF the article is right. Kirmond, Aiton, Poore & Collis (maybe Annakin also at a push) are probably the only ones that anyone would pay a fee for and would be worth around 200-300K between them so you would think it would be them.

Certainly would leave a derth of quality if true though.

But the club would be saved wouldnt it? A clean slate and many players still looking for contracts.

We have debts left, right, centre, backwards, forwards, in and out.

In which case - I hope Monday night will tell us more . If we're really , really in the doo doo , then i wish people would be straight about it .

I'm sure you are going to hear some straight talking on Monday. Michael Carter and Chris Brereton will not give you any "bull".

Good !

There's obviously been too much of this in the past .

No they won't, Both are straight talking and honest.

You might be lucky to get 200K for those 4. The 3 imports would be a case of getting them of the wage bill. Kirmond won't be going anywhere IMO. He is integral to your survival in SL.

No Tiger - He is the Jewel and will be sold if necessary to balance the books. The Inland Revenue dont hang about nowadays.

The way I see it, If Kirmond doesn't go, And investment doesn't come in. There won't be a Wakefield.

He is your one gem, You may get nominal fee's for the others. But nothing extreme, Leeds for instance don't pay big fees. They paid £40k for Joel Moon, So you'd be looking at similar for Aiton, But you could work a deal which gains you players either on loan or in return.

But I presume you will be holding out as long as possible before the sale of Kirmond goes through, Which, Invitably. It will, to the highest bidder.
