If the proposed limit of 21 players per squad comes into fruition then we have an expectation of 7 new players joining the club assuming that everybody offered a new contract puts pen to paper we will have 13 players from last season left.

DA has one hell of a rebuilding job on his hands but I suspect that that is the challenge that he will relish.

Exciting times ahead......

Probably some debate over how you could divide up positions but:

GK: Halstead
RB:
CB: Old, Lavelle (Kenyon) - Bakare?
LB: Cranston, Conlan
DM: Diagouraga, Kenyon
CM: Wildig
AM: Mendes Gomes, O'Sullivan, Slew, Leitch Smith
CF: Stockton (Leitch Smith, Slew)

I'd say room for a good eight or nine players to come in preferably, dependent on squad size allowances. For me, I think we need:
A goalkeeper, two right backs, two centre backs (depending on Bakare situation), two centre midfielders, No10 style attacker who can operate on the wing too and a target man.

All of this is somewhat dependent though on what kind of style/formation Adams is wanting to play.

Seem to remember the 'exciting times ahead' (or similar) being said last season by more than just RR. Let's wait and see.

I would expect Halstead to be a back-up keeper judging by the last fixtures we played. Maybe even going out on loan.

Where is all the money coming from to pay for all these new players

Squad will be full of loan players next season

Unfortunately red alert is probably right, money will be tight for most clubs , our owners will obviously be badly hit by the repercussions of the pandemic ,and the manager will have to hunt for loans etc, on the bright side so will a lot of clubs, and social distancing wont effect our crowds as we rarely exceed a third of the stadium capacity , we might even see a rise in gates.

I have seen a report that the 20 premier league clubs are going to put £10 million each into a fund to be distributed to the EFL clubs. Championship clubs will get the most about 6.4 £million each , League 1 clubs about £1 million each and League 2 clubs would each receive a one off payment of £666,000. This would help bridge our lost income from 5 home games and functions etc if it comes to fruition.
