Reading the posts below I can't help but think Sean will be gone before the next season starts,777 or whoever takes us over the first thing they will want to do is impress the fans and a new manager will be high on their list, personally I would like to see most of present Squad gone just had enough of them bar a couple it's time for young blood, the books have to be balanced so the big earners will be moved on, bring in players who actually want to wear our shirt, I've had enough of this tripe and now at the end of this season is a very good time for action.
{Ed025's Note - i agree GB but the problem comes when trying to get these freeloaders off the books mate, only idiots would give them the sort of wages they are on here...so it wont be easy..

Is there anyone you would keep GB?
I would keep tarkowski, garner and if possible branthwaite. The rest can go with my blessing!

We get gomes, allí and gueye off the books this summer anyway.
Branthwaite is great but £80-100m is a huge fee to help ffp and re invest in the squad.
I would also sell Pickford if someone offered £50m because as good as he is, you can pick up a good goalkeeper for way less, and a lesser salary.
I actually think DCL is a good striker but is wasted under Dyche and injury prone, again his sale would help ffp and get him off the wage bill.
Also Doucoure if someone comes in for him.
The problem is, say you bring in the best part of £160m for DCl, Branthwaite and Pickford.
I don't trust the board/ recruitment or Dyche to use it well.
I thought we had turned a corner after flogging some big earners but bringing in Maupay, beto, chermiti and Mcneil just hows how bad are recruitment team is.
The joys of being a blue haha.

Tarks, Branthwaite, Garner and maybe Myko rest can vamouch,

But surely new owners would mean a new board?
Gomes, Ali and Gueye means we are getting rid of three big earners. Two hardly ever play and one’s getting on a bit. Not sure we would miss them tbh.
I would let Onana go if we could get good money for him. But I would try everything to hold on to Branthwaite.
Need a right back, two midfielders and two wingers who can beat a man and cross a ball. NOT Harrison.

And let's refresh the coaching staff too.

I imagine we will be going after the likes of Johnson free and brown hill free.
I liked the look of that lad for Cov yesterday sheaf. Thought he had a great game and looked like he cared. Joe Parkinson eat your heart out type of performance.
Give me those type of players of the current shower we have all day.

Personally onana would be numero 1 on my list to sell. Seems clubs are willing to pay top dollar for him. I have to agree with carragher in that he's absolutely bobbins.
God dare I say it I would keep gomes on present form as we can't possibly sell all of them in 1 summer. Get rid of:-
Onana
Young (give him away)
Michael Keane (he can get a lift with young, I will drive! )
Dacoure
Idrissa
Patterson
Dcl
Danjuma
Mcneil (woeful this season)
Pickford (agree, can get as good a keeper for a lower wage)
Mykalenko.

If the new board were competent and targeted actual improvments to the squad, which let's be honest shouldn't be difficult. I'd get rid of most of the team, I don't mind selling Branthwaite as long as it is a massive fee, as he is worth every penny payed for him.
I'd happily take Johnson from West Ham at rb on a free, Brownhill, Che Adams also free. We also have to use the loan market far more effectivly and sign player we actaully will use haha.
Would any take Barkley back? I would be not if he had ridiculous wage demands.
{Ed025's Note - Ross is better off in a place where his past cant catch up with him for me ST, he almost imploded when he was here mate..

I can’t think of many other options for an attacking minded player who won’t cost the Earth Ed.
Why can’t we unearth another Cahill from the lower leagues is beyond me. What do our scouts do?
{Ed025's Note - i really dont know BR, they are useless mate..
23 Apr 2024 09:47:34
Amen to that ED, there are lots of people in this Burg you don't piss off and Ross! young as he was did exactly that.
{Ed025's Note - your dead right DFS, very talented player mate but the baggage he came with in this city makes it a no no to coming back..
