The first 5 are not out of contract so how are you going to get rid of them?

i) terminate contracts, ie. pay them off. More money down the drain!!
ii) sell them cheap? good, but you still need a buyer. And you still need the selling player to agree the sale. A buying club will not pay any of them the wages we are paying them at present, so most probably they will either stay with us and plod on on decent wages. Step i) will then need to kick in.
iii) Free transfer? Gets wages off the books but you will have the same problem as ii), which again reverts back to i).

We are shafted. Whatever happens you cannot just 'get rid' of contracted players without having a hefty bill for doing so.
