This makes the close season sound routine but it will be far from that, and Lawwell's work on team matters has started. Jaroslaw Fojut, the 24-year-old Polish centre-back, has signed a pre-contract agreement but the quality and quantity of further reinforcements depends on by how much a large squad is trimmed and by the prices attracted for the "one or two going out".
