General consensus within WP:FOOTY is that football squad templates should only exist for current club squads (above a certain notability level) and national team squads at the FIFA World Cup or the highest confederational tournament. These templates fit neither of those criteria. – PeeJay 12:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom, no season templates for teams... squad lists should be found on a season article... If the flood gates were opened we'd have many articles with more squad templates than text... Even if it was just for winners, take Man Utd year 99 or Liverpool year 01, four and five titles each... probably with different squads in all so we'd get..
 * Liverpool F.C. squad 2001 UEFA Cup champions
 * Liverpool F.C. squad 2001 UEFA Super Cup champions
 * Liverpool F.C. squad 2001 Football League Cup champions
 * Liverpool F.C. squad 2001 FA Cup champions
 * Liverpool F.C. squad 2001 FA Charity Shield champions
 * ...all these, and some players would be included in all five. Best use season articles instead. &mdash; CHANDLER#10 &mdash; 10:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nom; we'd be flooded with templates otherwise like stated above. --Uksam88 (talk) 16:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
