    It’s missing the point singe. I’m not saying he has to play them or he’s fired. Your right, he would of gone by now. I’m talking about a hefty chunk of the squad never playing, and aren’t gonna play. Why? Because the manger doesn’t fancy them. Simple. That can’t be good for them, the manager or the club.

     

    How is stockpiling footballers who aren’t good enough, a positive thing? 

     

    I don’t disagree with the general point you’re making, but couldn’t you argue we’d already tried stockpiling other players he didn’t fancy – Banks, Flynn, Osei, etc?

    Seems pretty clear to me when you look at the FACTS.

     

    Sold/loaned out/otherwise binned: Clarke, Stott, Fawns, Banks, Menig, Osei, Flynn

    Brought in/linked with: de la Paz, McEleney, Clarke-Harris, Pringle, Kwateng, Yarsuvat.

     

    Lemsagam is clearly aiming to rake in a fortune through very slightly increasing sales from names on shirts.

     

    Hence why the Doyle deal seems incomplete - he's realised it's not one of those Irish names that has far more vowels than you suspect when you hear it.

    Wellens Out!??

    Lots of players can be released from their contract if they are relegated, depending on the clauses within the contract. (Or am I taking too much stock in Championship Manager). 

     

    I can see the likes of Byrne and Davies being loaned out to League one sides if we get relegated. 

     

     

    But we don't have that many players under contract on big wages that weren't signed under Lemsagam's watch. To court relegation just to activate relegation clauses for three or four players would be cutting off his nose to spite his face. And it makes for a less visible and less attractive shop window for any players he might want to bring in.

    Wellens Out!??

    Relegation is likely to help him get rid off some players allowing him to bring more of "his" players in.

     

    How?

     

    If they're out of contract, it doesn't make any difference.

     

    If they're under contract, how will it make them easier to move on? Other clubs are less likely to pay fees or match wages for unsuccessful players.

    I think he was meaning 5 or 6 in total in the window. 

     

    That's what I took from it. Someone asked about new players and he looked a tiny bit miffed and said something about already having 5-6 in, then mentioned another one in the next day or two. Wellens mentioned more players (plural) a bit later.

    Possibly a silly question, but has Menig definitely left the club?

     

    I know all signs point to it - Wellens saying outright he wants him to go, the MEN reporting he'd left, not in the last matchday squad, etc.

     

    But the club hasn't announced it, Nantes haven't announced his return, and the French press are reporting that Ranieri isn't in a hurry to take him back and expects us to honour the loan agreement for the full season.

     

    Is he just sitting in an airport terminal somewhere?
