Neil Warnock to release the following players..
Vayrynen, Forssell, Payntor, O'Brien, Bruce, Parker, Nunez, Brown?, O'Dea & Webber?
That's a possibility of 10 going to make way for proven players such as Kenny, Hill, Ambrose, Derry and a few more.
MOT {Ed020's Note - nunez signed a new contract earlier on in the season, and webber is looking too good to let go.}

He's also an admirer of Brown and O'Dea's looked much better since Warnock came, as has Bruce. Not sure you're thinking this through.

Why would he let webber go he is one of the only players who looks hungry at the moment plus its warnocks signing. nowt else to play for this season so i would give webber a decent run out until the end of season cant do any harm. and to be honest i questioned why he signed him in the first place.

Warnocks 'done deal' could be Darren Ambrose, his contract is reportedly out in the summer, he's worked under Colin before and could be a replacement for the almost inevitable sale of Robert Snodgrass

Replacement for howson not snoddgrass,not that I think snoody will stay,from watt I have been told Ambrose is a done deal ,I was told to put a sneaky £10er on it,But I couldn't be arsd so I posted it on a reply to another post

I dont understand the clamour to get Beckford back to Leeds. He scored lots of goals granted but he also missed many more easier ones. He reminds me of Bendtner when he was at Arsenal, needs ten opportunities to score one. His attitude wasnt the best either, dropped his head and sulked when he didnt get his own way.

I would much rather Jay Bothroyd or someone in that mould in my opinion hes much better than Beckford.

There's no such thing as a striker who scores from every chance he gets. If it wasn't for Beckford we'd still be in League One. Give him a break ffs.

I know Beckford scored a lot of goals and he played extremely well against bristol Rovers on the last game. He missed a hell of a lot of chances and was lazy. I am sure the players making the chances for him Kandol/ Bechio et al were sick of getting a battering every game to give him the eight chances to score one. I remember the Kettering game missed a bucket load and it needed Grella to come on to score or it could have been embarrassing. Beckford scored late on when the game was already won. Kept his goal tally up though which was typical. Scored penalties which which also gave him a better return. Bringing back ex players doesn't usually work out.

Spot on

Here's a question. Just seen Shaun Harveys interview regarding money from season tickets over next two seasons to pay for east stand refurb or a portion of then he was asked would this effect the transfer budget to which he replied the development would bring in additional revenue to secure more funds to strengthen the playing staff. So what is the additional revenue and how long will it take to achieve sufficient to strengthen the squad? Warnock is leaving next season so I would have thought that we need money when this season finnishes at end of this month? Here's another question how much does a football club get for finishing in certain places in the championship? So if we finished tenth howm much do we get? Can't that be used to strengthen the squad or is it 2 bob and a bag of crisps?

If the current phase of development is complete, then there's a load of new boxes which companies can lease. If they've already secured leasers, then that could/should = increased revenue. I guess that's the same for the other facilities. They'll have projected incomes based on their usage which could potentially lead to increased player funds. That's what I'd guess at anyway...
