Kenny Daglish is keen to add a number of British player's to the squad and he is willing to let a number of high profile players leave the club to help generate funds , Sotirios Krygiakos, Christian Poulsen, Alberto Aquilani, Milan Jovanovic, Emiliano Insua, Paul Konchesky, Phillipe Degen, David N'Gog and Maxi Rodriguez are all facing the axe while a number of other lower profile players such as Stephen Darby, Nabil El Zhar, Steve Irwin, Victor Pallson, Nathan Eccleston and Daniel Ayala could also be on their way out. King Kenny's wishlist includes Ashley Young, Charlie Adam, Gary Cahill, Connor Wickham and even an Evertonian in the shape of Leighton Baines.Damien Comolli has also mentioned a few targets to Daglish that he may pursue with Adam Barton, Yann M'Vila and Keisuke Honda mentioned. We will have to wait until the summer to see who comes and goes but the most likely deals at the minute are C.Adam and A.Young coming in with Poulsen, Aquilani and Krygiakos leaving.

From a reliable source paul stapleton will finnaly resign this week that's from 1 source and another source has told me a westcountry will indeed buy the club that could be completed late next week and out the 5 people who to buy the club he was the richest and is going to be the richest owner weve had yet but then i suppose that means nothing. i know some people won't believe as this website is good for lies but my sources are often reliable its the same source that told me peter reid was going to be manager before the news was actually out and a few more other stuff like todd leaving.

PLYMOUTH ARGYLE many of the players have had enough, unlike Pompy there are no bidders waiting in the wings wages are months overdue and St Peter of Reid having to field kids with no experience against the league leaders. Strong rumours are coming from Home Park that players will walk asking for the contracts to be ripped up as the club is in breach anyway. To cap it all the long standing chairman, Stapleton, an accountant, the same one who slagged off Holloway has swanned off to Dubai for a holiday.
It's the Nero syndrome alive and kicking in Plymouth. Maybe mr chairman should nip across to Libya and ask Gadaffi duck how it's really done !

Viva la reveloution {ed's note - Peter Reid has had a lot to say about the chairman in private apparently, the word furious is an understatement. You have spelt it out very well what is happening there, and it is well within Stapleton's means to rescue the situation if he wanted to. Obviously a holiday in the sun means more to him than the club. Is it true he is still earning a salary from the club as a director?}

How can you be so dumb, Swindon are trying to stay up, Matt Richie signed in January on a 2.5year contract, how can he sign a pre contract deal with Brighton he has to be out of contract in the summer for that to happen.

Not if his contract is cancelled, which I have heard is going to happen after he told fans to f-off at the last home game.

Swindon could have a new player in on loan soon.

Wolves want to loan out the returning Michael Kightly, who has been out for over a year injured, and have considered loaning him to the Wiltshire club for a month.

Meanwhile, Matt Ritchie is poised to leave the club and sign a pre-contract deal with Brighton for next season. He will train with the Seagulls but not become a player with them until July 1st. David Prutton will also join Brighton in the summer, as he has been told he is not wanted by the club after swearing at manager Danny Wilson.

Most of the Swindon squad are requesting summer moves away from the club.

How can you be so dumb, Swindon are trying to stay up, Matt Richie signed in January on a 2.5year contract, how can he sign a pre contract deal with Brighton he has to be out of contract in the summer for that to happen.

Damien Johnson, Ryan Leonard and Steve MacLean have all been given permission by Plymouth to stay at their loan clubs if they will pay their wages.

Meanwhile, Rory Fallon has asked that his contract be torn up. Motherwell have offered him a contract, and he may move north of the border along with Rory Patterson who is wanted by Kilmarnock.

Up to eight fellow players are set to quit the club as well.



Damien Johnson is out injured for the rest of the season and his contract then expires, so there's no issue here anyway
