So there'll be an inevitable clear out at the end of the season, with the club desperately trying to unload misfits, and loans returning to their clubs of origin. And will Roland be cashing in on the likes of Aribo and Konsa?
Everybody knows stability is massively important in football, but it's something we won't be getting under the current ownership.
Who do you think we'll be keeping from the following list? And who would you like to keep? I'm sure we'd all like to keep Mavididi, for example, but barring a miracle, that's pretty unlikely...
1. Declan Rudd
2. Lewis Page
3. Adam Chicksen
4. Johnnie Jackson
5. Patrick Bauer
6. Roger Johnson
7. Tony Watt
8. Andrew Crofts
9. Josh Magennis
11. Ricky Holmes
12. Stephy Mavididi
13. Dillon Phillips
14. Jordan Botaka
15. Ezri Konsa
16. Jason Pearce
17. Fredrik Ulvestad
18. Karlan Ahearne-Grant
19. Jake Forster-Caskey
20. Chris Solly
21. Nathan Byrne
25. Ahmed Kashi
26. Harry Lennon
27. Dimitar Mitov
30. Lee Novak
32. Joe Aribo
35. George Lapslie
36. Jay Dasilva
42. Jordan Beeney
50. Jorge Teixeira
Out on loan:
Igor Vetokele on loan at Sint Truiden until the end of the 2016/17 season
Naby Sarr on loan at Red Star FC until the end of the 2016/17 season
Cristian Ceballos on loan at Sint Truiden until the end of the 2016/17 season
Brandon Hanlan on loan at Bromley until February 18th

I've ignored Mavididi as dont see us keeping him next season whilst I've not included any of the kids (or Konsa and Aribo as reckon they'll be gone by January at the latest) - Also think that Jackson will retire yet if not I'd keep him around
The players I would really like to keep in bold. Only five, or six with Solly?

Squad looks good on paper just need to find the right mix/ formation and maybe a couple of starters shouldn't be.
Igor Vetokele - Keep, if fit would be no 1 striker
Naby Sarr Just go
Cristian Ceballos - Do one!
Brandon Hanlan Loan out/ 5th choice striker
Terell Thomas - Loan out
Josh Umerah - Loan out
Nicky Ajose - Depends on system, if we play 2 up top would work, still feel there is a goalscorer in there in the right team
Regan Charles-Cook - Yes should be competing for bench really
You can't keep players that you don't own ! Long story short, we're fucked next season.
You can't keep players that you don't own ! Long story short, we're fucked next season.
I have said if it was my choice, obviously the loans are not our players. likewise if we have any offers for players they will be gone, its all hypothetical really so i just thought i would comment whether i would keep them or not...
Hasn't happened under the current ownership has it...
Some of this lot wouldn't look out of place in League 2.
Rudd, Page, Chicksen, Bauer, Magennis, Holmes, Mavididi, Phillips, Konsa, Pearce, Forster-Caskey, Solly, Aribo, Vetekele, Ajose
Send on loan for season,
KAG, Lapslie, Beeney, Mitov, Hanlan, Thomas, Umerah, Charles-Cook.
Subject to fitness I would keep Kashi and I would keep Jackson as a coach.
10 new ones in.
That being said, big change is rarely good!

The ones in bold are the players I'd expect to see in and around the first team regularly (either starting or on the bench), the rest are useful squad players or promising youngsters. The ones struck out are either loanees who will go or players we should get shot of. I'd bring Igor and Ajose back and give them both another chance. I'd get rid of Sarr and Cellabos but keep the rest we have out on loan as they are still kids and have much to learn. I wouldn't want the youngsters in the head count for the main squad however. Lapslie and Beeney still have a lot to do to prove they can make it, but I think they have a chance.
