Yeah this is my major issue, and I think it will show who is running the show.
If its Brands, players in this squad will be up for sale and he should be working to move them on as he SHOULD know they aren't good enough. If its not, then they will still be here and get a clean slate while the new manager assesses his squad.
James will go, I thought this before the end of the season, 100% now with Carlo gone. Richarlison is someone I think will go, but my main worry is his value after a awful season. Allan doesn't strike me as someone who will kick up and go though.
Squad, bar 3/4 players, is a absolute mess, made up of too many mangers fancies and not enough planning in place for where they actually play.
Lots to be done, this was a massive summer before Carlo left, its absolutely critical this is done right now.
