But even if they do we've still got enough to be highly competitive and they won't all

leave. I've seen people saying that we should be showing Wes, Ruddy, Martin etc the door. I just think that would be foolish. Even Bassong is decent at that level. I accept entirely that if we got back up again more changes would be needed, especially defensively but I think it would be very dangerous to allow the squad to break up.

I don't think Howson is the sort to push for a move. Tettey, i'm not so sure about. O'Neil worth another season if he's happy to stay.

Why do so many people think we need a complete overhaul this summer if we go down? (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 09:41:03
- My biggest concern is whether the players have the stomach for ANOTHER push at promotion (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 11, 10:33:44
  - I think that applies to the whole club to be honest. Right now i'm feeling (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 10:57:08

    - These guys like any player will be wanting to play at the highest level (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 11, 10:38:29

        You thought I was seeking sympathy on their behalf? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, May 11, 10:53:26
  - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 11, 10:35:14
- Would be great if we could convince Klose to stay until January (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, May 11, 10:27:35

  - 9 (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, May 11, 11:03:38
- Most of the players who stuck with us last time... (NCFC) - avenging canary, May 11, 10:04:00
  - Will they get a better offer? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 11, 10:12:50
    - Perhaps, perhaps not. Need to plan. (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, May 11, 10:28:52
  - Some might. I think Tettey might be one like that but I think Howson may stay (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 10:07:33
  - How many of our failed prem players... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:06:19
    - I disagree (NCFC) - Duck, May 11, 10:17:02
      - That's why we need a strong CEO... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:21:39
        
        why did you specifically mention Olsson & Tettey? (NCFC) - mr carra, May 11, 10:25:04
        
        Because (in my view)... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:31:30
    - Hope you're right. (n/m) (NCFC) - avenging canary, May 11, 10:11:02
      - two years older than last time and now twice failed in most cases (NCFC) - mr carra, May 11, 10:17:52
- We don't need a complete overhaul but there are fundamental areas to address (NCFC) - Duck, May 11, 09:55:01
  - We will need a couple of strikers yes and a left back if Olsson went but (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 10:06:24
    - I'd suggest losing five first teamers and needing to replace squad players (NCFC) - Duck, May 11, 10:43:57
      - Yes but people are suggesting we ship players out. there is a difference (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 11:01:14
- I really don't see Naismith going... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 09:51:34
  - You can add Olsson and possibly Tettey to that list. Howson too if he wasn't injured. (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, May 11, 09:54:46
    - Don't see many takers for Olsson and Tettey... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 09:58:08
      - "Both average prem players" would be a reason why other clubs would want them (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 11, 10:40:46
        
        Change that to poor prem players... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:43:25
        
        Tettey is one of the best defensive mid's in the Prem (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 11, 10:48:47
        
        Course he is 😂 (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:49:37
        
        Tettey is a decent premier league player. Be surprised if there are not takers for him (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 10:59:20
        
        There weren't any last time not sure there will be this ... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 11:02:35
        
        He does a lot more work that most. Not his fault if he is injured (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 11, 11:08:04
        
        It is unfortunate that he was playing well when our defence was sh*t and then (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 11:12:12
      - Average prem players = good championship ones (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, May 11, 10:01:18
        
        True but my main point was I cant see many... (NCFC) - loz, May 11, 10:03:38
- You've answered your own question Jim; because the players you mention will leave. (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, May 11, 09:50:25
  - he didn't mention many though (NCFC) - mr carra, May 11, 10:14:23
  - But even if they do we've still got enough to be highly competitive and they won't all (NCFC) - Jim, May 11, 10:00:09
- Because most football fans know little about football. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, May 11, 09:41:50
