O'Neill, will, but then he's gonna miss most, if not all, of the season (at best). Jacobsen might possibly stay, as he can't be on very high wages; Reid might be OK in the Championship, although Chievo Verona are supposedly interested; there's also the likes of Hines, Nouble, Fry and Edgar at the club. We'll look to buy a Championship proven stiker, like Graham of Watford, a full-back and one or two midfielders, which might possibly be enough for the play-offs. When we went down last time the useless Board panicked and flogged everyone they could for less than they were worth and with no sell-on clauses. We would be better to follow Newcastle, get rid of the highly-paid wasters, but keep the quality players, which we can afford with the parachute money, and aim to come back as champions.mattnoreply@blogger.com
