It appears that the manager has requested the removal of the following players from the clubs official website ;
Henderson
Evtimov
Mancienne
Ward
Vellios
Mckay
Clough
Aryibi.

Surely these players must have the message by now although a Welsh news outlet is reporting that Mckay has completed a 500k move to Swansea

That might be a bit harsh on Evitmov, even though I understand the move. It must be hard for players like Clough to be brought by one manager and then told he's not wanted by another. I know management has to be hard at times, but several of these players worked hard and did their best for the club, it's sad that they are now superfluous. Just saying.

Bsered when the club decided to make Aitor the clubs manager they decided that they trusted him to transform the team into contenders for promotion.

Once Aitor joined us and the club decided to back him in each transfer window since joining us to the extent they have players Evitmov were always going to suffer in some way.

Players like Clough who cost a fair bit considering what we use to spend at the time had to be judged by Aitor as whether or not they were able to produce what he is after for their given position, as much as any of us might think they are talented players, if Aitor thinks they are incapable of producing what he wants then it is pointless keeping them.

Take a look at what Aitor has done with the players he has brought in, and decided to keep in the pre season games, especially the Bournemouth game, for the first time in may years my excitement for the new season is not based on the love of the club but on the teams performances suggesting if nothing else we will be enjoyable to watch.

The hardest thing is waiting to see if all the players Aitor does not want are willing to leave or are not interested in playing football till their contracts end.

Refreshing to see strong management. AK has shuffled the pack spent a good pre-season team bonding with those who have stepped up to the plate. The last thing he needs are those not in the squad hanging around undermining confidence?

All of them will get fixed up as they are not bad players but their agents need a nudge to move them on for the deals they are worth not what they may think they deserve!

They all need to take a leaf out of the Jack Hobbs book who got on his bike and a permanent deal.

Onward and Upward

I would think that players understand that managers have different philosophies and can accept the reasons for being surplus to requirements. If they feel hard done to then maybe they should not be professional footballers for a living.

Wards gone terminated contract and training with the blades.
Vellios will be the hard one to shift, he doesn't seem bothered about moving on, must be on a good wage.
The rest will probably get fixed up either permanently or loans.

Having spent over 3 million on Clough I wouldn't be letting him leave on the cheap. Season loan somewhere and hope he comes good.
