I was thinking who we’d still have here and I imagine we’d be able to shift most of them on, even the likes of Bakwa we’d probably get a decent fee for.

Money

Given that we likely lose the spine of our side in the summer, and as a result have a lot of money to try to rebuild the squad, it's completely reassuring to think we have at least two super agents on the books with their own agendas, because the more different voices we have overseeing recruitment the better it always goes.
-
Hooray! Even bigger payoffs when we sack them.
(Realistically, imagine a manager who could chose between Forest and Palace in the summer - how much more would we have to pay for the greater career risk? 10%? 50%?)
-
Yates. Probably Sels. Morato. Will Taiwo still be under contract? De Moreira, Abbott, Bindon. Wood. McAtee.
Football league champions in the bag.
-
Think Taiwo will be out of contract. Reckon we could keep Neco for a year, he’d only get a promoted side (although I think he’s better than that). Add Netz to the list. Maybe Jota will stay, he’d be decent enough in the championship.
-
Fairly sure he's under contract until 2028.
-
I'm quite looking forward to seeing Taiwo at his level trying to tear up Championship defences, flanked by Jota Silva and a shiny new winger, Yates in the middle with a couple of sexy new signings, Savona and Netz as full backs, Abbot learning his trade alongside Morato at centre back with Gunn in goal.
Omar Richards might even get a game.
I just wonder whether they'll be able to manage competing on two fronts, with Champions League fixtures impacting our chances of avoiding a second consecutive relegation.

Josh Bowler is sad.
-
He shouldn't be worried about that, just put his best foot forward.
...or slightly splayed out of line, as is more his style.

Fulham game moved to Mothering Sunday.
By my reckoning, that means that at the end of March, we'll have played one home game at 3pm on a Saturday (v ManU, of all teams). If Villa or us make the quarters of the Europa league, that'll be the game on the 11th April moved. If we do, also the Burnley game on the 18th. If we make the semis, that's Newcastle on the 9th May and one game in the whole season played at the supposed default time and day - either way, it looks like a maximum of three.
-
We will hold the record for most televised relegation ever.
-
The relegation will not be televised.
-
Pissed off. I won't be able to watch now or my mum will go spare.
-
Take her to the game.
-
Already arranged for her to come to ours for the day and go for lunch. I mean she might be up for it. But I'd have to pay for the ticket ... and for Little Miss Shady too ... it adds up!
