9 Mar
Summary
- Club expects relegation and is holding weekly transfer planning meetings.
- Manager aims for early, aggressive signings to rebuild quickly.
- Past player sales were part of preparations for the upcoming season.
The club is bracing for an anticipated relegation to the Championship and is consequently holding frequent transfer planning meetings. Manager Edwards, who experienced relegation with Luton in 2024, stressed the importance of being prepared.
"We'll be in a position where we can be aggressive and get some work done early," he stated, highlighting the need to assemble a cohesive group quickly for rebuilding. This proactive strategy is crucial given their current league standing.
Significant player sales have already occurred, including Jorgen Strand Larsen for £48m to Crystal Palace, Jhon Arias to Palmeiras, and Emmanuel Agbadou to Besiktas. These moves are part of preparations for the next season as the team is 12 points from safety with eight games remaining.
Edwards acknowledged past mistakes and the difficult position the club is in but expressed optimism about the planned changes. He noted that while transfers are delicate, the team is working hard to develop a plan that benefits the football club moving forward.
