I wonder if some of the thinking is to have a squad that is more suited to being built on for next season. The chances of reaching the play offs and going up are less than 1 in 4, so clearing some space makes sense.
Mitchell can cover Jones role, Ramsay RCB, Small RWB. Plenty of options there even if not quite 2 per role. I'm more worried about CM where we have even less cover
I think I’d have preferred Riley Towler from Pompey. Also a left centre back they were looking to loan out. I’m guessing we had the choice of one or the other
Yep, and we don’t like developing other clubs players. So we bring in 2 loans on the last day :-)
Always take anything football people say with a pinch of salt
Bearing in mind of course we will not know what was discussed about the longer term. Love the option to buy as a try before you buy and should drive up the players performance.

Seems like Pompey fans were expecting it to be Towler too.

You can’t be a football manager without a degree in drama🤷♂️
This really has been a proper clear out! Money that tight or clearing the decks for a proper promotion push squad build in the summer?
Are you sure you are not confusing him with Holmes? McIntyre left Reading for £75K last Jan and their fans have very mixed opinions of him
