Players such as Neil Etheridge, John Ruddy, Marc Roberts, Marcel Oakley, Ivan Sunjic, Gary Gardner, Keshi Anderson, Scott Hogan, and Lukas Jutkiewicz are all out of contract. Among these, I see us re-signing Gardner, Anderson, Juke, and Roberts on reduced terms.
On the other hand, I believe it's necessary to consider selling players like JJ, Miyoshi, Laird, Hall, Paik, Dion Sanderson, and Tyler Roberts to strengthen our squad and generate funds for new signings.
Once the managerial situation is resolved, we must prioritize investing in players who are hungry for success. Fortunately, as a relegated club, we have more flexibility with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. In League 1, FFP is based on turnover, allowing us to spend up to 75% of the club's turnover on transfers and wages. Additionally, owners have the option to contribute a lump sum of money, provided it is not a loan.
With these factors in mind, I believe we are in a favorable position to attract players with the right work ethic, attitude, and desire to play for The Blues.
