Both Charlton and Ipswich have shown an interest and with new chairman Risdale saying every player has a price it seems Coutts will be off in January if the price is right.
It will be seen as Hemmings attempting to reduce the defecit but the way things are going Preston will have to sell their whole squad five times over before Hemmings breaks even.
Coutts will be glad to get away as he is clearly been played out of position by Brown who has a habit of bot playing players in their best position. Whilst inferior players drain the middle of the field Coutts is forced to played out wide on the right whilst two perfectly decent right wingers in Mayor and Daley are shifted everywhere from the left to the bench.
