The end of next season could see us changing about 10 players as things stand. The squad development at the club has been awful, simply terrible.
Keiron Cunningham, Leon Pryce, Maurie Fa'asavalu, Matt Gidley,Ade Gardner, Paul Wellens, Francis Meli, Nick Fozzard, Bryn Hargreaves, Chris Flannery?
None of those are players I would want the club to offer new deals to currently, unless their form improves.
I agree the clubs squad development has been awful over last 3-4 years. We have let too many players leave and not replaced them at all or with the class of player saints should be bringing in.
IMO the squad delelopment for 2011 is very very important as so many players are off contract and we dont seem to replace senior players anymore.
If the last few years are anything to go by i wouldnt be shocked to see 7-8 players leave with only 2-3 players coming in, with the likes of lomax,dixon and so on making up the squad.
Sir mac got a hell of a lot of work to do for 2011. I dont envy his job.
