Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson admits he'll be looking to move on several of his fringe players in the coming weeks.
"It's never pleasant telling them they will go, but it's something that has to be done. I've already started doing that but it's never easy. I guess it will take some time to move them on because it won't happen overnight.
"We had to take in a lot of new players for now and for the future, but Dr Thaksin has been fantastic and we should be very thankful to him for that."
The Swede was also asked if he had received good luck messages from fellow Premiership bosses since taking over at City.
"No. So far no. But I am sure I will get it," he insisted.
"I've had a phone call from the previous manager Stuart Pearce, which was very nice and he wished me good luck for the future. I hope he will come one day and visit us."
