Four stars to go

March 5 2002

Four experienced stars are on their way out of Selhurst Park, according to newspaper reports.

Trevor Francis is requiring a clearout of the squad in order to reduce the wage bill and David Hopkin, Dean Austin, Simon Rodger and Jovan Kirovski are set to leave.

Hopkin returned to the club last season from Bradford City, but has failed to live up to his form from his previous stint at the club.

Austin has been at the club for four years, however this season he has been frustrated at the lack of first team action, and has made it known on his own personal website that he'd rather move away from the club, if it means getting a regular place in the side.

Kirovski has been stalling on signing a new contract at the club, and like Austin, has been frustrated at the lack of competitive action.

Rodger has been at the club for more than 10 years, a rarity in football these days, and has a deserved testimonal in the summer.
