We will not be selling much this Summer

I think we will hold onto most of the players that we would ideally want to keep. When we came down the first time we had a few "star acts" who were on big money and they were moved out accordingly, they were quite attractive to the lower Premier League teams.

This time the feature of our Premier League season was the team collective in which there were no real standout players, and we were effectively operating with a Championship side on quality Championship money and as such very few of our squad would be attractive to lower Premier League teams (only possible exception to that rule is Etheridge). It is also now true to say we are now in a league as one of the " big fish" and are financially stronger than most of the other Championship teams so we have far more control on our player retention than the other Championship clubs. FFP rules are about to catch up with a few of our Championship rivals over the coming months which again will be to our advantage.

These factors mean that Warnock has a good idea what players he wants and will be confident of holding onto the key parts of the squad for a real promotion push, all this means that we are in for a good season ahead with the promotion king in charge. :occasion5:

We doubled everyone's salaries

Etheridge will go if price is £10m plus .

Could also sell Manga and winger if right bids came in
