Bot, Zmariner and 116 Guests But I do agree with them sometimes.  

Do we think he needs to try and ship Summerfield, Berrett and Yussuf out? I suppose he can try but whether budgets will allow is debatable.

Not sure he'll want shot of Berrett though, he was very good in the three games he played under Slade.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Put it this way, if Hurst hadn't given Boyce a 2 year deal, Shaun Pearson would still be here.

Possibly,, and if he did not know that Collins will demand bigish money or 2 years to stay he may have kept Shaun too.

Quoted from Mariner_09

I'd agree with that, plus if he hadn't given Summerfield and Berrett two years, Dis might still be here.

Or if Bignot had not signed Jones, Osborne and Clements and any other "player for the future" or bench warmers/Injury risk players like Asante & Yousef.......... Its the total wage bill that's the issue as well

True, I must say though, had Hurst stuck around I think we might have made the play offs, he had us very solid and difficult to beat plus we had some flair with Omar and he seemed to get more out of Vose than anybody else.

I think the majority of the players he signed were decent but there were perhaps too many "can do a job" players given 2 year deals.

What you say makes no sense why would "budgets" stop us shipping players out? The only way it will impact on the cash flow is if we pay up their contracts.

We'd have to pay players off, not their full contract probably but we'd need it's all money and we haven't got a bottomless pit.

Or have very clear conversations about how much they will feature which will mean they will have to make themselves available for loan or face not playing next season.

If a Prem player sits in the reserves and picks up the wages for a few months he will still get another club as he will still have Prem on his CV and a decent profile etc... if a league 2 player does this he will face the realistic danger of never being seen again as lots of players look for clubs in windows and if your not playing your at a massive disadvantage. So if your not in a managers plans it makes sense with regard to your mid term career to go out on loan, a couple of good examples of this at GTFC in recent years are Nathan Arnold and Dom Vose.
