That was the solid, hard working display that we needed last night. Got to say we have some real grafters on the pitch this season, and that?s a big part of our success and hopefully promotion. Rodon was immense last night, a real leader, and I love his whole attitude to the game. Bogle again strong down the right and Darlow good on the basics apart from his little Meslier moment. What I like about this bunch is their team ethic and commitment. Solomon had his little meltdown at Q.P.R but Farke seems to have handled it well and there?s been no real dramas or big time Charlie?s out there. Come on lads, finish the job.

Will the likes of Bamford, Meslier .etc now return to premiership wages?

they all will

Surely it will only apply to those players who were in the squad that was relegated from the premiership and had their salaries halved?  Surely those that joined this year will not get a doubling of their current deal?

nope. contracts will say we go up wages increase by, say, 20%. we go down your wages reduce by 20%.
standard contracts. incentives.
they also have a bonus for staying up.
not that either meslier or bamford could be here next year of course

What do we reckon for next season then with regards to incomings and outgoings ? 


Think we need at least 8 coming in if not more. 


Keeper
Left back
Centre back 
Centre mid x 2. 
Winger at least one if not 2. (Solomon plus one other)
A Number 10
A Number 9 maybe 2 of them 


Meslier goes as does Firpo. Possibly Bamford who I think has one year left. Joseph goes on loan. Ramazanni goes on loan. Not sure Gruev good enough at that level. 



Do we bring in Rothwell permanently for squad depth? 


Need to buy well and will need circa £150m
