What Marc actually says is that there will be no redundancies. Players will most certainly leave if/when we are relegated.
For a start, we can only have 1 overseas quota player in SL2. That will reduce our wage bill straight away. I'm also expecting Diskin to retire and also Gale/Ferguson and a few others to move on.

The no redundancies line is a bit of a nothing line really. The Bulls are operating a very small full time back office set up as it is, and as you say players will move on/retire themselves.

Will be interesting to see what the salary cap is for 2015 outside SL. In order to allow teams to ramp up for 2016, and mitigate the parachute payments to level the playing field, it will surely have to increase?

Google isn't a newspaper, shock. BBC Grandstand footage isn't a newspaper, shock. Bulls website isn't a newspaper, shock. FA trolling and being a silly boy, shock not.

Not sure if this is official, but I've heard a figure of £950k being quoted for the SL2 salary cap. I think it is also restricted by the club's turnover too, probably to help avoid other clubs 'doing a Bulls' so to speak

No, I asked you to provide evidence to back up your statement.

Therefore, until you provide links to the article that clearly state the quotes you're ascribing, you have not done that.

Not sure how many players we have left in our squad with all the loanees coming in and out - but assuming 25 players, and a wage bill of £1m that would average at £40k per player which seems low for a SL outfit, so I would guess our current wage bill is still above the £1m mark, though well below the SL cap. But as several posters have said most of the higher paid ones are likely to move on if we are relegated - if they can persuade potential new clubs they can perform better than they have been doing in the last few matches for the Bulls.

Lets not forget the low wages that some of the kids will be on. For example, from the list below, i'd expect the players to be on less than £40,000. The ones with the '*' against them are the ones that i think will be on less than £20,000

Kear
Olbison
Walker
O'Brien*
Roberts*
Wood*
Conroy*
Mellor*
Brook*
Addy

I've no doubt we have a couple of high earners (Kearney, Diskin, Gale), but I don't expect them to be here next year.

A cap of £950,000 should be enough to build a squad capable of finishing close to the top of SL2. The only problem I then see is I don't think it will be enough to compete with the teams at the bottom of SL1, but lets give it a go. I think Fakir would go well in SL2, wouldn't mind keeping him here next year.

I've just checked and our full time squad (excluding loanees) is 25 players.
