It won’t help too much, I’d guess – but balance might just look a bit better in January.
I can’t believe that Butterfield and Nuttall are not our highest earners – and by quite a margin! Strong likelihood that with those wages freed + transfer fees (if allowed to use them) – we could aim to get five+ decentish new faces in.
Butterfield has had a number of average games and Nuttall’s scoring record has been flattered by penalties. How much would they be missed?
Personally, I’d also want Ntlhe to go. Too many injuries.
We must have: an LB, a CB, Beestin replacement – preferably Bish-style player, someone with pace and another striker.
The trouble is that even if this plan could be implemented – early in the new year we are going to need four wins on the trot just to keep in touch with 5th bottom.
Should new owners arrive (I’m not holding my breath) they would need to spend big to try to rescue the season from this position. Same positions need covering but with players currently we’d not be able to afford.
