Agree with you the longer it is left the harder it will be , but we are really between a rock and a hard place.
Simply moving on players is fraught with danger , because inevitably some of their contractwill still have to be paid by us and by the form and enthusiasm displayed by some of the players their value to other clubs will be low.
Yes, you do gain some cap space but are sort of prevented from going out and buying worthwhile players to then fill the gaps. By the time we got around to that anyway there will only be the dregs left. Unfortunately due to the poor promotion and retention of the younger brigade the cupboard is very bare of talent within the club at the moment. Would have to look at getting the kids up into the higher grades sooner than anticipated but then again other clubs have done it and at least had some success. Like every other club we must have a squad of 30 players but what quality there will be is the big unanswered question.
