The 'relagados'.
A few youngsters too but that's to be expected. We've kept a good core of the squad from last season we can now build upon and push on for the season and I would expect RD to now offer Wilson a new contract sometime soon maybe this summer? in order to avoid another contract fiasco, he's well worth a new contract so get him signed up please RD!
Or do you mean the awful mess where Duchatelet has released more than ten players who were not going to help us push up the table...for free.
Can't be that so you must mean the fact that cost base is so lean that Duchatelet can bring in two players worth €5m with promises of more to come.
Remember @Henry Irving that when you cheer on the team in Liege that most of them were signed by the last owners.
Four players out of 37 have declined terms and moved on. About time you did the same instead of blaming the people who bankrolled the club for three years, lost probably £5m in the process and left us one division higher and owned by a half billionaire who has a track record in running football clubs.
I know it is both popular and populist to attack the owners but the simple fact is that we are in a better place now in 2014 than we were in 2010.
Did we ever hear about the schoolboys being kept on/released?
It's never as simple as good owner, bad owner (John Fryer being an obvious case in point, although at least in that example he - or rather his firm - was the owner), but the reason we are where we are now compared to 2010 is substantially down to the work done before March 2012. From the summer of that year until at least January this, the club was going backwards, as was obvious to almost everyone involved.
Moving on is not the same as rewriting the past to suit yourself, but I suppose to do that effectively you have to understand what happened in the first place. "Mess" is generous.
Duchatelet is repeating that process now - new coach, new players. The advantages he has over the owners three years back is that he is retaining many more players able to compete at this level and that by taking Liege from 6th to 2nd he has demonstrated he knows how to run a club. And it is his money and not a third party funding the project so the tap won't be switched off half way through.
Running a championship club without liquid funds is no joke - I make it a rule not to comment on staffing matters but I can imagine the stresses within the club.
That period was over 6 months ago and another restructuring is under way. You and I know that the management team is changing and I assume there is a commercial rationale behind other changes.
I'm not sure the club has been going backwards since 2012 as we had a 9th place finish in May 2013 showing what we might achieve in the future. And losses have been reducing each year. But in general I accept that there is a lot to put right. The pitch is done and 90% of the squad are on long term deals.
What I found unbelievable was that the previous owners would risk their whole investment toying with relegation while trying to sell the club. And for the sake of perhaps an additional £1.5M on the playing budget?
At least the league position in November meant that they rapidly adjusted expectations on price for it appears they initially wanted a £10-15M premium plus their loans repaid in full for the work executed by Varney and Powell.
For all of the issues with Slater and Jiminez, they demonstrated that value was added over the three years given that the deal to sell the club was considerably higher than the one in 2010.

That suggests all others in that year group have left, apart from Holmes-Dennis who is already pro.

The reason for that is that CAFC 14/15 will never play CAFC 13/14.
So perhaps the question should be how strong relatively are we compared to the other 23 sides in the league and how well have they strenghthened their squads?
Blackpool appear very short of players full stop but most of other teams who finished around us and the three promoted sides seem to be spending. Will shall see how well.
Sheff Weds have new rich owners and we all know how massive that club is.
Leeds have a new mad owner and Hudds finished the season very badly.
Bolton have strengthened after a good finish.
The three new sides are unknowns at this level but our own 9th place finish two years ago shows the gap can be bridged.
Interesting times
