    If it was the start of the sason fair enough but he's only got less than 15 games to sort it out, and they're quickly being cut adrift, how long will it take to get a new team to gel, plus the type of players the Rod brings in end up expensive

    Not sure about them two - they weren't good enough for us in the premier, so why would they be good enough for CHF. They're decent 1st division players.

    Yeah but who has Roddy in mind them to replace them? I suppose he'll get his old magic book of contacts out and sign Ronaldo or Zidane...

    Can anyone tell me if the players have left the club already or have they just been placed on the transfer list. If they were released their contracts would have to be paid, presumably?

    That's what I've been trying to find out. I reckon they're still on the club's books, but won't be involved for the rest of the season. Can't get a straight answer though, as the club seems to have shut up shop.

    They all have contracts and Id say some of them are two year ones, its all very well saying we're getting rid of all these players but if no-one comes in for them you're left paying their wages plus the wages of any new players, which ultimately leaves the club in a dangerous situation, I mean you were never exactly flush to begin with..

    I'd be very, very surprised if anyone other than Gary O'Neill has a two-year contract.

    Heard on the radio last night that clubs may have shown interest in around ten of those released.

    I think you'll find that these players haven't been released, but put on the transfer list. Theres a difference. The club will listen to offers for them, none of them will be given away, unless they're really crap.And lets face it, they do need a kick up the arses and this is roddys way of telling them to shape up or ship out.
    I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but thats all he's doing.
