    So why keep almost all the players who were bottom 3 all season?

    These are the same nesh players who gained the same amount if points after going behind as Rotherham did.

    The bright sparks who improved as the season went on were almost exclusively loans and the younger new signings.

    As you said, we aren't favourites for relegation anymore scraping the barrell at the end of the window. There's no reason we can't find younger players with, if not better, at least equivalent talent for a comparable cost. We have 3 work permit waivers, which could easily be 3 first team players on reasonable wages from europe.

    We pay players well past when we should be rid. Everyone* whines about it, but when it comes ro actually releasing them everyone* wants to keep them.

    *Reesh, by everyone, I mean a reasonable number of vocal fans in real life and on social media.

    By underwhelming, I mean exactly that.

    I still think we'll be solidly midtable, pushing top half, bit I also think that you could let most of them go and still be in the same position, but not needing to make the same decision next year. Keeping them all on is very much kicking the can down the road, we'll just be in the same situation next season. Why not take the hit now and hit next season running?

    Some may not sign. We've only had 2 not sign in the last 3 summers, which is why I said that I hope they're on reduced backup rates, so we actually have funds to get some decent players in for the future.

    1867?
