Day 135

Alloa refused my offer to trade Richard Pacquette for Paul Hartley. No surprises there. I added Danny Lloyd-McGoldrick to the sweeten the deal, but I expect they’ll turn that down too.

We’re still roughly £1,500 over the weekly wage budget. If I could get rid of the players I don’t want, we’d fall under budget. Platt, Sinclair, Nicolau, Pacquette, Rodney, and Lloyd-McGoldrick together earn £2,900 a week. And they’re the players I want to sell. Why doesn’t anybody want them? I don’t even care if they go on free transfers. I just don’t want to terminate their contracts (unless they become a disruptive influence, in which case I’ll bite the bullet and do it).

Do other managers have this much trouble offloading players?
