Dean Saunders: Expects more players to go

Rovers' extravagant recruitment policy has raised a few eyebrows over the last few months, with their new signings ranging from established Premier League stars such as El-Hadji Diouf and Pascal Chimbonda to a host of unknown French players.

But it is the exit door at the Keepmoat Stadium which has been busier in January with a number of players such as Richard Naylor, Mark Wilson, Ryan Mason, Jon Parkin and Dean Shiels all leaving the club and Saunders knows the departures will not stop there.

"There have been a lot of players to leave the club and take into account Billy (Sharp's) wages then we have cut the wage bill down a lot and I knew I had to do that when I came in," he said.

"With the crowds we are getting we can't compete with the likes of Leicester and Southampton so I have to use all my contacts and all of Willie's to get players in for next to nothing.

"We will have to lose some more players."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
