Paddock, I am really disappointed that we lost assets like Lee, Soward, Clubb, Melling, Kaufusi, Fisher, Bryant & Bailey from the squad and the Youth coaches plus Steve on the PR side.
There's also a lot of hardworking folk whose contribution would be hard to evaluate from outside the club who have also gone who it is a shame to see go.
But we have also shed staff and players from a regime that has seen us in the bottom three since 2007 so we have also got rid of liabilities and also the Stoop which I was fed up with, though I appreciate it was on your doorstep.
And in fairness many of these assets were predetermined to go with offers from the two trophy winning clubs and in some cases a mind already set on retirement.
So the losses in many cases were inevitable.
I'm not delighted with what has gone on but whatever your thoughts on Gus, David, Tony K and Tony Rea and the Hive and the players they are all we have and we have to move forward or be cancerous cells that attack the host to the detriment of it.
For man with no forgiveness in heart, life is worse punishment than death
