Brown/Harris going same way plus 2 of the 4 in midfield.
Possible Tutu will be back with us for next season!

If that’s fact, it’s the sort of facts I like hearing

I like hearing facts too. Especially true facts.
Thinking about it, do we need to call facts true facts or is a fact obviously true?

We are cost cutting after the parachute payments have ended and simply can't afford either of them at their present rate. If they can earn more else where then good luck to them and they can move on.

Tbf, id be dissapointed if the club didnt try and keep bamba on in some capacity, as what a role model he would be for the youngsters at the club.
As for Bennett, I believe he had something lined up before his injury curtailed that,so at 32, coming back from serious injury? Id let him go, but saying that, if both are looking for improved contracts, or even the same deals, then the club must let them go, times are tougher now, not easier,or even the same.

If the committee run the club as a business then both Sol and Bennett will be released.
Sentiment in business goes out the window.
A player is a commodity to be used.
Loyalty counts for little.
Harsh but true.

They wanted new contracts the same as what they are on now, and that was not going to happen
