The contracts of a dozen, or more, of their better/best, higher profile squad players all run out together this summer.

After these, they've hardly got any others left of any quality and who might command a fee to defray the cost of rebuilding the side, so there'll be an almighty exodus this summer, with minimal cash coming in to buy new players for the Championship.

Although the wage bill will dramatically reduce because of this exodus, by all accounts they've got sizeable debts to confront and their 'parachute' payments will only go so far.

On the face of it, it's not inconceivable that, next season, they could be relegated again (down into League 1) and, if so, I think 'Arry Twitcher must take some of the responsibility for wasting and needlessly squandering a lot of the money that the owner made available to him.

It's not impossible that they might almost become another Portsmouth, if they're not careful.

I thought they were supposed to be slapped with a big fine, too, for breaking Football League FFP? This is what I was on about: http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... league-ffp

There seems to have been a media blackout about the story since December, though.
