of the unwanted 13 plus others How's Bobby going to do it? I wonder if he's going to manage it and if its frustrating him as much as me.I'm actually getting very vindictive and somewhat annoyed at certain individuals. Even taking a loss on this lot of crap appears a non starter

Sell them into white slavery? Replacements for the Iditarod sled dogs? Long walk off a short pier? Training dummies at self-defense courses? How bout just donating them to Goodwill. There's a truck accepting collections in my town every Saturday all summer. Send em over here, I'll drop them off along with the load of old clothes I'm taking over next Saturday!

Seriously...Bobby must be as frustrated as the rest of us, if not more so. That's part of the reason he can't bring in new players.

They'll disappear in dribs and drabs as their contracts run out. This mass clearout is a non-starter as far as I can see.

There's barely been a sniff, and any transfer rumours that have reared their ugly heads, have concerned players we want to keep, not the likes of Maric etc.

I think we'll have to resign ourselves to that fact for the next couple of years or so.

What kind of contracts are these guys on? It seems that if they want to leave the contract can just be torn up but there's no way out if we want rid of them. Grrrrr!

They could easily be shifted, all we've got to do is give them the dosh they'd have made in the remainder of their contracts, as a lump sum, and tell them to go forth and multiply. It's trying to get back some money that's the problem.

Start sending them to all the reserve matches on charter flights; they'll soon bottle out...only a matter of time before the third once crashes...

Great idea Softie. Multiply the worldwide fanbase tenfold as well ...
