I'd like to think the club know this and have a plan. the point of these forums is for fans to debate ideas and (where necessary) vent.
Nothing what is said on here will make an iota of difference to the club, wether thats team selection, recruitment,choice of new coach or boardroom issues. but people like to discuss these things, it's human nature.
We are poo and it is stating the obvious. There are questions that need answers before anything can be fixed.
We all know Rovers don't have the cash to pay off inadequate/injured players who are on long term contracts and so we will be stuck with some players who are simply not good enough.
1. Who is out of contract at the end of the season?
2. Do the club wish to retain the services of players coming off contract?
3. Can each player coming off contract be replaced with someone of better quality?
IIRC i think Sio, Kelly & Blair are in the final season of their contracts, thats 3 quota spaces and i would imagine a sizeable chunk of cap.
I think Tilse has another year, Charlie is on a rolling contract which will automatically be extended if he reaches a certain amount of games (15?).
Campese signed an extension last year as did Lunt.
