Delaney can't be on high wages and is on a 1 year rolling contract as a backup to the defense. He should never be played except for a terrible injury crisis (we're one injury away from that crisis).

I don't see how moving him on can free up space for anybody. Would be a bit like saying move Speroni on so we can sign another keeper. He won't go for cash and we'd still need a 3rd keeper.

Mutch is correct but who wants him? Again, if we're holding out for 2million and wages to be taken off the books before we can sign someone, what does that say about the level of player we're looking to sign?

I think we have money to spend so am not concerned but if it was leaked we are waiting on a whopping 2 mill for Mutch plus wages for Delaney before all that money can be reinvested in Roy's entire war-chest I'd be protesting at the gates!

I really can't see how selling or giving back anyone who has been playing regularly helps even if it frees up funds or a loan place.

We've only recently regained confidence and rediscovered the knack of playing together as a team. Surely, that is priceless?

For once, Parish should listen to his manager or risk losing him as well. We were tottering on a precipice a few months ago and we're not on terra firma yet.

How can a business with a confidentally projected minimum turnover of £250million over the next 19months be struggling to find £20mill now?

Fortunately Lee is out of contract this summer, but unfortunately Mutch is here for the 18/19 season until his runs out, so another 18 months of getting paid 40k? A week for nada .

We are one injury away from Delaney playing and I suspect all three will start against Brighton.
