Hello mate, lets take via Inbox. Find me there.

Huge apologies from me, but I'm going to have to drop out of this competition due to personal matters that I have to take care of.

I hope this doesn't screw up the carefully-laid plans.

Good afternoon all. I am glad to see you here at the Govanhill Dumping Grounds for what is surely going to be the most important press conference of all time. I am about to announce the Glasgow Grubbers Kill List. Everyone on this list will be leaving Glasgow immediately, escorted out by a gang of neds I recruited this morning. If they set foot in my city again then they will be sorry and, of course, it goes without saying that NDAs have been signed by every member of the squad.

Without further ado...

Not a problem, mate.

Look after yourself.

Will there be a further press conference announcement in an hours time about an announcement

Then it’s a deal!

Gary Ballance for Jofra Archer. Yes?

The following players will not be retained by me.

William Porterfield: Besmirched the name of the entire team when captain and indulged in unsporting behaviour and backdoor briefings. I only wish he was leaving cricket all together.

Mahmadullah: We gave this boy everything he wanted and he rewarded us with substandard performances with both bat and ball. The most disgraceful 'all-rounder' I've ever clapped eyes on. Clapped being the operative word.

Ben Howell: Ben Who? Haven't got a tweaking clue mate. Send him down the Clyde.

Rikki Clarke: Someone who we thought would be an impact player and bring much needed experience to the team. The only things he bought to the team was an insatiable desire for SUBSTANDARD PERFORMANCES.

Shannon Gabriel: It comes to something when your speerhead bowler only takes 3 wickets and can only just keep below 10 an over. An absolute waste of space. I hope he gets hit by a cab.

Stuart Broad: It is with great sorrow that we announce the departure of Stuart Broad. We enjoyed his time with us but let's face it he's not a T20 bowler and we don't like wasting reviews. He is welcome back for lunch.

Mushfiqur Rahim: Brought in as someone who could give us commanding hitting and silky shots and he gave us none of it. An absolute waste of space.

Overton Craig: One wicket as an opening bowler means you're shit mate and I don't care if you only went at 7.9 an over. Get a real job.

This concludes our list. If, by any weird quirk of fate, any of these players are recruited for other teams we wish both them and their team terrible fortune and if it's a home game for us they will not be allowed to set foot on our hallowed turf.

All hail the chairman and all hail Glasgow

Communication Ends.

Can I ask a really stupid question that I think I know the answer too but just want to check because my mind is a little frazzled. If I want to release a player, trade another player out, is it for the exact value I signed them for? Sorry this has been covered but I was just a little confused even reading the rules

as they say it’s not you it’s me

Update: think I’ve got it, so if I release player A it is at the value i signed them for.?

I'm amazed you didn't clear out them all apart from Ravi.

Trades involve no fee.
Parth D and Chris Lickley can buy players - any fee, to be agreed between the two of you.
For each released player you get the value you paid back into your budget. (Players can be released only after trading window is closed or you do like @Wavelberry and release in advance, he can't do any trades now).
