Our squad and their contract lengths (obviously ignoring any relegation clauses).
It seems strange that Akinola and ANG haven't featured under Brown as they are contracted next season. This could be either of 4 things, a contract clause, injuries, them saying they want out, or they are a couple of the ones Brown referred to as "hiding in the treatment room".
Those with options to extend, I can see most being activated. I'm unsure about Demetriou, could be a high earner and he isn't getting younger. I would keep him and play him RB as I can't see Bwomono staying. Lennon would be a solid NL defender, but his injury record is horrible. I think most of us forget he is still with us! Klass showed promise in some games but he is another that just disappeared and can't see him being here next season. Mellis played about 32 minutes (1 minute less than Klass this season), so hard to judge him, but he didn't look useless. Goodship .... no thanks.
Out of those expiring, I can see most leaving due to either high wages (Oxley, Dieng), lack of game time (Kyprianou, R Taylor), approaching retirement age (McCormack, Halford, Holmes and White, or thinking they can get a league 2 club (Bwomono, Hobson). I would like to see Hart, Hobson, Kinali and White stay. With Ralph and Clifford potential options at LB, I can't see Richard Taylor sticking around. As for Acquah and Ranger, I don't know. If they both stay then I hope Acquah will be 4th choice striker and that Ranger gets a good pre-season for his fitness and shows professionalism all season.
I don't think we will get any of the loanees on a permanent contract. Cordner and Olyainka would get league 2 clubs and the other two still have contracts.
