Rance going (hope like hell he stays) would free up a lot of cash as we'd be looking at these guys coming across with Rance's new offer in calculations & should he not accept it we then have that to add to the warchest. i agree with above tho, we should be after Carlisle wheather Rance stays or goes.
Can you draw a diagram for that flog Loui Tufga? He doesn't get it.
If Rance is making $300k and quits we have $300k extra to aim at a target player, because no. 18 has gone from costing us $300k to $0.00 and can be replaced with anybody and anything.
And yes, then there's the extra $300-500k that RFC is definitely willing to pay Rance.
But hey $600-800k total is FA according to some... I mean seriously that kind of money could land us basically any of the aforementioned players.
Then you take out dead weights like Newman, Foley, Knights etc and I'm sure there's another $600k+ freed up.
No need to get personal!
You made an effort to point out if Rance leaves it will free up 300k but what about the others that will either be delisted or retire?
Your point would have been better served by saying if Rance leaves, Newman and Foley retire and we delist Dea, Pettard, Knights and Arnott that should free up some cash to grab one of these free agents. But you were trying to make a specific point that if Rance leaves then there would be spare money to score a free agent. I'd agree if he was on 600k a year but he's not so his departure will be no more significant in scoring a free agent than if any of the above mentioned players were to leave!
