I have no idea who makes the final decisions on what players we sell, or chose to keep. I would imagine the Manager would have the major say and Wilson has to try and make it work.
However what I do know is players have contracts Clubs must honour, you can’t force a player to sign a new contract no matter how much money you offer them, and even we as a Club have a wage structure that limits how far we can go. How do we know we haven’t offered them new deals they haven’t signed yet, like Goldson.
Wilson’s first job was getting rid of Herrera and Grezda from lengthy expensive contracts. He has been working his way through trimming a bloated squad.
Would you still want to be watching Firth, Hastie, Middleton, Katic, Edmundson, Jones, Barker, Polster, Murphy, Docherty, or have we improved on them ?
