Not giving up on this season yet but was giving a thought as to what might happen if things do not go our way....a huge re build of the squad in the summer will be rquired.....however with ooc players leaving ....sales of others ....parachute payment.....and presumably less wages due to no bonus for staying up etc ...surely the kitty available should help a squad rebuild to be very competitive in the championship ?

I’m no football knowledge but I’d hope there’s a rebuild around Collins Roberts Cornet etc and SD doesn’t rely on the old boys as much….

He won't. He knows they have done a fabulous job over the years but he'll be aware it's time for a clearout.

My feeling is it's a pity he's wasn't aware of it sooner.

I don’t think he could have done anything about it

It would be naive to think that Sean Dyche has not been wanting to replace llaters at every opportunity. It is the natural, movement to decrease the age of your squad. New young energy to assist the older legs and the experience being passed on.

He, we and the club have been Garlicked.

We know he couldn't and yet people bang on about what he should have done. Player wise not style of play note.

That's a very short term view. If it hadn't been for Garlick and co, we probably would never have got to the Premier League in the first place.

If we go down it might be as much as 20m saved in bonus payments.
Dyche will lose 2m by his self.

Given there has been no change to CM personnel for a couple of years would not be surprised, if relegation occurs, that Dyche thinks the current set will be good enough for the Championship

They wouldn't have the fight in them, not a chance.

not really - the last set of accounts demonstrated we paid no more than £16m (probably less) in bonus payments when we finished 10th,

13 months wages (including bonus) = £100m
12 months wages (including bonus) = £94m

gives an outline salary cost of £6m in July
all players including those at the end of contract get paid in July so this is a good average number

12 x £6m = £78m
£94m - £78m = £16m

factor in the wages of Drinkwater less than the wages of Brownhill over the first half of the season and we are closer to £15m for the bonus that season

also it is believed Dyche's bonus was £3,5m at the time - if it is less now then overall bonuses may have dropped

It was only a general guess.

If Dyche's bonus has gone down then his guaranteed will have rose sharply. He's not stupid and took ages to sign.

more about trying to help all readers understand what we pay in bonuses - this was the first time we have been able to get as close as this to understanding how much we actually pay in bonuses
