    I find that spending some time with my old friends Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam works wonders

    Do they argue much? ;)

    Sell em all to the highest bidder

  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged

    I am not stupid to expect some of the players not to want to leave, we may have to sell just to raise the funds due to losing the Premiership pot, but it would earn some of the others a lot of credit if they gave us a season to try to get us back up the such as the likes of Taty & Bowen for example. .

    Look through the squad there are only a few players im keen to keep naturally imagine they're the ones most likely to leave

    Bowen
    Fernandes
    Taty
    Summerville
    Mavropanos (wow couldn't imagine saying that 12 months ago)

    Bowen and Mavro i think have a chance to stay, the other 3 no chance

    Traore and Wilson are out of contract in the summer.

  • stevesteve
    I can see Wilson getting a deal from a prem club
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Pablo - if someone offers anything, take it - fixed it for you
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Pablo would look out of place in the Championship. He just has no real attributes of a pro footballer, his touch and his passing is that of a decent pub player. I would tell Tatty we won't reduce his salary if he stays however.

    Let’s hope that we have at least a few days to gather our thoughts before any transfer requests come in.

    I remember Defoe putting one in the day after we were relegated in 2003
  • HammerdublinHammerdublin
    Todibo seems to have put one in even before the Leeds match, according to some media reports.

    Good, hes been a horrible signing who's fallen out with multiple managers already

    From what I read it sounds like it depends if Nuno stays or not, if Nuno stays, he won't play for him , as reported ( who knows ?) but if true, not sure that's the kind of character we need around anyway....

    He has been one of the biggest wastes of space since we signed him. Took months to get fit, never actually played that well consistently, cost us 3 games with his stupidity at Chelsea. Sell him as soon as possible.

    So it's the U12's next season then. 😂
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Hermansen was in the Championship team of the season 23/24, probably best to keep him

    I know Earthy has had a rough season but he was Bristol City's young player if the year in the Championship, Potts also did very well at Pompey

    Between Potts, Kante, Earthy, Orford & Fearon we have some young enough midfielders who can likely step up next year
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    1 or 2 but not all together.
  • LukerzLukerz
    I think Kante & Scarles may be capable of playing in Champ - I am not sure any more are.
  • PengemanPengeman
    We will soon know who is leaving or whether anyone is being recruited. The transfer window opens on 15th June and closes on 31st August.

    Also depends on who the manager will be and whether there is any takeover for the Club. Will Nuno stay? His record of wins hasn't been impressive and he made some bizarre team selections. But he had a poor squad.

    Scott Parker being touted as the next manager. At least, he knows how to get teams out of the Championship thought can't keep them in EPL. What about Mark Noble as manager?

    Will Sullivan sell and sail into retirement sunset?

    Lot of turmoil ahead.

    Need some proven defenders and goalscorers, may be from the lower leagues with prospects.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Hermansen worries me as our # 1, perhaps the championship is more his level, I'd like him to prove himself, but so far I'm unconvinced as a long term keeper for us, IMO.

    Potts and Earthy already have
  • LukerzLukerz
    I mean for us - I know they have played for bottom half table Champ sides

    The link below is an indication of the possible financial landscape facing WHU. WHU will get £8.1m for their final EPL position and will benefit from parachute payments for relegation but it won't last that long. Overheads and players wages will need to be cut drastically. Even if players wages are halved they will still be amongst the highest in Championship.

    At the same time the Club needs to bounce back quickly.

  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    A lot of those players will want out anyway and the players coming in will be on even lower wages. Its a complete reset that is needed.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Doubt there’ll be a takeover. Much easier to sell as a PL club than a champo one.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    As thornbury says

    The Gold family tried for about a year to sell some of their shares but there was no outside interest so they sold to Sullivan and Kretinsky who both now own 40%

    When Sullivan got a tip off that the Icelandics were about to buy out the club he bought David Storey's shares to add to the ones he already had so when the deal went through he made a hefty profit

    Except I suspect the value of West Ham shares is now less than it was a month ago
  • LukerzLukerz
    My worry is:

    Off season
    World Cup

    We won’t begin our rebuild until we start shifting, what if we don’t start shifting this side of the World Cup? World Cup ends with less than a month before the Champ starts.
