We have signed everyone up bar Higham, Calderwood, Colbon. Phelps and I suppose Mathers who has this weird contract based on number of appearances. Well also lose Barrett.

We gain Riddle, Smith and Pryce (if he gets fit) and we may give Phelps a deal.

That's it. There is no point saying we'd "I'd like to get rid of..." because we can't. The rest all of contracts for next year.

Spot on Dave - we are stuck with the people we have under contract and unless they agree to a release or another club wants them then we are stuck with them - this includes people like Fielden - they are part of the club for next season and we would be stupid not to use them.
Bailey is another - not earning his big bucks but we have him for another season so we might as well use him - but please do not offer him an extension to his contract

We'll probably gain two more players - a forward and a back.

Given the addition of two extra clubs to SL, we may be in a position to offload some players.

Not quite sure why we are talking about players here folks when the main problem lies with a coach who has clearly lost his team.
Thought B.N. looked like a condemned man on T.V. replay and so he should be.
And what about our performance director also?

For fun, the ones we already know who are "out" are Higham, Calderwood and Barrett.

So the other four I guess would be Feka (no smoke without fire as far as I am concerned), Mathers (simply not "cutting the mustard"), O'Carroll (yes I know he has a new extended contract, but with the new franchises and players wanted - I think he will at least go on a season's loan somewhere) and my final guess will be Colbon (who to this date has not signed any extension - but would be similar in circumstances to O'Carroll if he did). :doz:

I think your obsession to watch the reserves is getting the better of you Nathan :lol: That side would not only be very inexperienced at SL level, but would more than likely see Wigan finish around bottom spot after some record defeats!

They can't be simply shown the door. They either have to be sacked (and for that some sort of misconduct or similar would need to be proved) or a team has to come and take them off our hands as a transfer.

Why would a team do that when instead they can go directly for the players we think we will replace them with who would also presumably be better?
