So basically we would be offloading most of the current squad, so we will have to bring in anywhere between 10 and 15 players. As this will be Jolley's first season as a manager and a relatively new squad should we be expecting mid table safety in the first season and then hopefully make a promotion push in the second.

The best thing Jolly can do for next season is if Wilkinson says DO then DON'T and if he says DON'T then DO.

Ok so for what it’s worth and with my football manager hat on this is what I would do IF we manage to hang on to our league status.
Goalkeepers
Jake Kean- return to parent club
Ben Killip- offer new one year contract, decent young back up keeper.
James McKeown- offer new 2 year deal. Has improved this season and with a better back 4 in front should concede less.
Defenders
Danny Collins - release
Nathan Clarke - release
Ben Davies - release
Paul Dixon - transfer list
Andrew Fox - offer new one year deal, proved to be capable enough at L2 level
Reece Hall-Johnson - offer one year deal with option for second year, potential and versatility
Jack Keeble - release
Zak Mills - new 2 year deal deal. Good right back and can cover centre half, could be developed in this position in my opinion.
Karleigh Osborne - release
Easah Suliman - return to parent club
Midfielders
James Berrett - release
Chris Clements - release
Harry Clifton - one year deal with option for second year.
Sean McAllister - release
Mitch Rose - already contracted
Tom Sawyer - release
Luke Summerfield - new one year deal, been one of our better players
Wingers
Siriki Dembele - take up optional year on deal
Diallang Jaiyesimi - return to parent club
Sam Kelly - transfer list
Gary McSheffrey - release
Martyn Woolford - release
Max Wright - new one year deal with option for second year
Forwards
Harry Cardwell - already contracted
JJ Hooper - transfer list
Simeon Jackson - return to parent club
Jamille Matt - return to parent club
Ahkeem Rose - release if work permit issue is still unresolved
Charles Vernam - attempt to sign, either loan or permanent
Scott Vernon - release
Mallik Wilks - return to parent club
This would leave us with 14 professionals at the club if the players offered new deals opted to stay and if Vernam signed, 3 of those on the transfer list. Hopefully there will be 2 or 3 youth team lads who will be offered pro contracts as well.
I then think we’ll need 3 centre halves, possible cover at left back, 2 central midfielders, 2 wingers and 2 strikers.
That’s my rough workings out anyway.
Think your pretty much bang on with it. I think those plus maybe 10 quality additions would see us do well next year |

"Should be cheap.." Are you Fenty in disguise?
If they are good enough for a promotion chasing squad (which I assume will be the aim) then cheap shouldn't come into it. This mindset must change in my opinion - players who are good enough will be offered better elsewhere if we don't pay the going rate for the better players.
Having capable squad fillers in Hall Johnson Clifton and Wright on cheap wages will save some money to attract better players. |

Unfortunately Pete, I am both old enough and sad enough to know what that is  |
| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

No doubt some of the present squad will go regardless of where we are next year but I think we should be more bothered who we could get as replacements. Personally I think quite a number of current players will be offered new terms in May, because if Jolley has any ability he will already have easily sussed out the weaknesses. He does not need a massive squad, but neither does he need the hassle of trying to fill the numbers with another journeyman player to make up for one he has just let go.
What he really needs is 3 or 4 players of proven ability for the spine of the team, especially for midfield and striker roles. We don't need "promising youngsters" or "experienced ex-prem" players for key roles, we need good players who will immediately make a big difference.They would cost money, serious money, to attract to BP.
