Send Knoyle, Riski & McKay back.
Inform Kawashima, Pongolle, Demel, Gunning, Morris & Ofere that their deals will not be extended. Persuade them to leave now for the good of the club.
Allow Szromnik, Durnan, Dillon, Spark, Bodul, Anier to find new clubs.
Dow & Rankin possibly be offered new contracts with reduced terms. Both would probably do alright in the championship.
Terminate the contract of Mixu & Young.
Appoint Cathro or someone of that ilk.
Bring lads like Telfer, Brad Smith, Ali Coote, Robson, Souttar, Murrell, Ballantyne, Allardyce, Taylor & Sukar and let them play with freedom and without fear. We see out the season with a young side but have a fair bit of 1st team action.

Go into next season and try to hit the ground running.

If your list is right TheShed I would keep:

Dixon, Paton, Muirhead, Murray, Durnan, Donaldson, Spittal and Fraser.

I think Dixon and Durnan have been very poor but the Championship should be an easy setting for them to get their careers back on track.

I'm sure Spittal will be sold, maybe Fraser too.

I think Paton is the type of boy who would want to get us back up, although we may get offers for him and sell him.

I think Muirhead and Murray deserve from now until the end of the season to show us they should be our FRONT TWO next season.

Would like us to sign an experienced keeper, Cammy Bell maybe?

A new right back is needed, not sure if Spark is the answer but we need to give him a chance if he does well at Forfar.

My shopping list, all experienced 10 year pros:

Goalkeeper.
Right back.
Centre half.
Winger.
Centre forward.

Along with 8-10 of our current first team and 6-8 dev team squad (Donaldson, Souttar, Robson, Coote, Johnson, Sukar, Murrell, Duke)

Last night was the last f***ing straw, a must win game and he plays 3 defensive players in midfield? Fraser probably our most skilful and creative player on the bench, surely Paton and demel behind him is the perfect foil for him to go and do his stuff going forward no having to worry aboot defending? Shambles of a team selection, agree though would like to see a massive clear out, Spittal and Fraser will more than likely be sold for pennies with thompson claiming its 'best for the club' Arsehole!
ST GTF!

I think the below are still under contract for next season. Corrections welcome.

Dillon, Dixon, Paton, Muirhead, Murray, Durnan, Donaldson, Spittal, Szromnik, Zwick, Fraser, Bodul.

With the exception of Muirhead, Spittal and Fraser I wouldn't be upset to see any of them go. Also think at least 1 of those will be sold.

Massive amount of work to be done to get back up, we cannot trust Mixu with this.

1 will be sold really who would pay money for them
 

Players that are under contract still next season have to go before any can come in for next season.

But for the championship a back four of Dillon, Durnan, Donaldson and Dixon would be better than anything we're likely to face.

I really don't know how you can say that tbh?

3 have been rancid all season, 1 has only just got in the team. Can you really see Sean Dillon leading us to a Division Fun title?? Just can't see it im afraid.
