They're going to have to have one helluva rebuild, too. This is their squad:
No idea if the four currently out on loan have contracts up this summer but they have to find a way to get rid, given the wages they'll be on - either releasing them or accepting whatever the fuck they're offered. Rodwell's also milking them dry.
They'll be paying Oviedo, Clattermole, O'Shea, McGeady and Kone a pretty penny too.
On top of that, I can't see the likes of Jones, McNair, LuaLua, McManaman, Watmore, Maja and Asoro fancying sticking around for League One football either.
