Clinical.


No other word for it really. Put the game to bed as soon as Piroe got his second.
Very, very un-Leeds like.


Will be interesting what 49ers do now as we definitely need some new blood within the squad as this step up to premiership is huge.

Will the likes of Bamford, Meslier .etc now return to premiership wages?

they all will

Surely it will only apply to those players who were in the squad that was relegated from the premiership and had their salaries halved?  Surely those that joined this year will not get a doubling of their current deal?

nope. contracts will say we go up wages increase by, say, 20%. we go down your wages reduce by 20%.
standard contracts. incentives.
they also have a bonus for staying up.
not that either meslier or bamford could be here next year of course

What do we reckon for next season then with regards to incomings and outgoings ? 


Think we need at least 8 coming in if not more. 


Keeper
Left back
Centre back 
Centre mid x 2. 
Winger at least one if not 2. (Solomon plus one other)
A Number 10
A Number 9 maybe 2 of them 


Meslier goes as does Firpo. Possibly Bamford who I think has one year left. Joseph goes on loan. Ramazanni goes on loan. Not sure Gruev good enough at that level. 



Do we bring in Rothwell permanently for squad depth? 


Need to buy well and will need circa £150m
