It'll probably be in excess of £1m/£1.5m though, for no other benefit than not having people around. That's a significant investment in the culture and balance of the squad even before we then have to replace those players.
IF, that's how we're doing it of course.
well yes. But we're paying it anyway, its not an additional cost. And guessing he'd much rather not have players around who won't be getting a game
Yes - paying players who aren't playing for us will be the same whether they are on or off the books. Of those listed would like Harriott to stay though. Would play him a few thousand times over Aluko.
It’s not additional, but you’re losing the option to then play them and have to replace those in the squad who have contributed, such as O’Shea who has played a number of games when needed. The others less so of course.
There’s probably also some other savings in terms of national insurance etc, but it still shows a willingness to back the manager and the rebuild process.
