    To be fair it's a hard league to get out of, took sheffield united 6 seasons, Ipswich 3 or 4 and Sunderland 4 wih much bigger budgets than ours. With those players we should have sold when values were high same with some of the players we have now.

    To me, the biggest flaw in the trading model is that almost all clubs from lower Championship down are doing it. Even with clubs like Chelsea hoovering up plenty of players, there isn’t enough transfer activity to sustain a trading market of 50-60 clubs.

    Why not just focus on coaching and let the transfer window take care of itself?

    im not convinced anyone would give us more than a couple of hundred grand for any of them.

    Connell and phillip especially after the duff season but I'd say many players have gone backwards
