Comparing the Transfer Market of McLean era and the current era. Are you fucking daft? They're not the same. The Bosman ruling and the SPFA rules state you can't just bin x, y and z. These players have contracts, which if we are to get rid of will have to be paid of all by any chance they will have bids come in.
Now, the best bit McGhee should do some scouting? FFS, no major manager does scounting, he hires people to do that for him, while using his contacts, which for McGhee are Celtic, England and Germany.
I never figured you for a daft Football Manager. Maybe when McGhee does leave you'll put yourself forward for the job. Maybe be in the McLean mode, where fans like you can hurl abuse at you, demand your head week in week out, while pretending they know what goes on as a Football Manager...
