Squad size

I've just noticed Oldham have announced their retained list. They've got 19 players on it including Josh Lundstrom, 14 released and three loanees sent back.
That's quite a bit of Wonga compared with us.

And they've only won two league points off us in two years. 👍

A few retained players have been told to find other clubs. Including the captain being told, to find a new club, or stay. He just won't be the captain next year.

Of the out of contract players, a few have been sent to test the market with a low ball offer waiting for them I guess.

I believe from what their fans are saying there ain't gonna be more than 5/6 of the current squad still around come the new season.

Getting rid of the majority of those 19 on contract will be an absolute nightmare given the wages they will be on. Norwood and Hogan in particular would be virtually impossible to clear out.
