Quote Big Dave T="Big Dave T"I think that has to be your priority and Hudge has said the same. I also wouldnt be surprised of Dobbo did leave if you only brought Holdsworth in and didnt replace the 7. Maybe Spaven/I'anson or someone like that could get some game time for a year which would take another 100k out of the deficit.'"
It's a balance - you don't want to get stuck in a downward spiral. IMO that crosses the line from what Rovers fans can still retain a level of relative optimism about, into a cause for Hull fans to be 'optimistic' and Rovers fans not to renew season passes.
If we suddenly have to go to break even next year - something only Hull managed last time, I think - then I'd look somewhere else to make savings than halfback. Or at least not try to make all the remaining savings there. I doubt, without pretending to know, that any cuts will be that immediate and swingeing. We'll see.
Hall would be on a good bit less than Webster. Holdsworth on less than Cooke. Then you've got Mills and Galea's wages and a reduction for Walker.
