I think there will be an unrepresented number of players released at the end of June. Not because the clubs don't want them but because they can sign as good if not better players for less wages. There will be  I am afraid  a lot of footballers looking for new clubs, but the clubs will not have the money to sign them!

Think a salary cap is needed, if only for a year or two. But can current footballers with there current commitments afford to take a pay cut?

THIS WILL CHANGE FOOTBALL AS WE KNOW IT.

Think it will be curtains for Whitehouse then , as a lengthy ban will mean a poor return / value for money. Will probably be the same for some of our more injury prone players.

Nouble would be handy and has Comley been on loan at Town before or am I confusing him with the other 500?

Aye, most of the 16/17 season.

He has only scored about 5 goals all season in about 35 games, mind you they were mostly against Town.  Is he any better than Hanson?

He plays wide left not as a main striker and has always impressed me against town but don’t see him as a replacement for Chas.

Re Comley, rated him when on loan at BP from QPR and recall he plated against us for Colchester either earlier this season or last. Maybe of interest as he was at QPR when Holloway was manager and think it was actually IH who loaned him to town.

Thankfully a salary cap has already been agreed for the lower leagues, and about time too. A certain team with no fewer than 6 multi millionaires and one billionaire as their owners make it a very uneven playing field for all the other teams struggling week in week out. But now the salary cap has been set at £2 million per season, THAT team will probably have to lose several of its bigger earners.

In Towns situation it will be interesting what line Ollie goes down to cut the wages. Will he let those who are injury prone go first? Or will he be looking at the biggest earners to ease the pockets? Sadly there are a few of the players who have turned Towns season upside down that Ollie signed in January who are amongst the higher earners who we could potentially lose.

But with hundreds of good players being released, will he sacrifice others that he would have liked to have given a contract to, so he can sign a few of the free agents?

Considering the number of players who allegedly contacted Ollie offering their services in January, it would be interesting to see how many more offer their services to Ollie this time around.

Of course all that is just blather IF Town dont need to chop and change. Its well known that Fenty was always a spendthrift but for all his faults he captained a steady ship and kept us monetarily on an even keel.

Comley was absolute crap when he played for us Weak in the tackle,arms flapping like a bird and even wears gloves when it's below 80. It's OK having a small player but you've got to have a bit of skill and strength - let Hurst sign him-not us. Comley or Brody - what a hard decision
