Retained or Released

[Sneezey]

Will this be delayed until manager issues resolved or do you think some decisions were made when when we secured our safety and just not been announced yet.

Wouldn’t surprise me if already been decided regardless of manager

[SheepRanger]

We've already extended contracts for those we want to stay and where the feeling is mutual.

The rest already have one foot out of the door thinking they can earn more money elsewhere, or are going into lower leagues.

There are plently of players out there to sign.

I think Illias will leave us this summer.
And if he does I wish him nothing but the best.

He signed an extended contract a few months back.

New extended deal for Varane announced. Great news!

I like the idea of new players coming in whilst there's no manager.. means they like the club facilities, the vibe and the pay packet and they're not simply joining a manager who favours them from the past or one they think will favour them.

Ultimately any player who signs a 3yr+ deal WILL see at least two managers during their stay so it'd be a bit dumb to join any club solely based on who the gaffer is.

New extended deal for Varane announced. Great news!

Yes it is, I think he's a quality player, maybe a little inconsistent at times, but improved throughout the season. Exactly the sort of player we need, who could be a saleable asset in the future.

[Jeffqpr]

Great news about Varane, he’s really impressed after a dodgy start & now understands championship

Doubt anyone will sign Chair. Reasonable player, not if you're aiming for top six.

What d'yall think about the club's approach to dribbling out news about the ins/outs each day on a player-by-player basis? It feels like an advent calendar where you get a crummy bit of chocolate every day...

I'm keen to know the real status on several players, particularly given the club are very coy about publishing the contract status of players, Cook having a trigger clause was quite an eye-opener for instance.

Given many other clubs have already published comprehensive lists of released players I'd personally prefer it if club did likewise rather than teasing us for the next 2/3 weeks

I agree, it all feels a bit of a mess at the moment with the manager situation surely having to be resolved first. The sooner the better obviously!

With regards to players, there are so many ‘holes’ in the way the club are doing things - for example

1. Why haven’t we thanked the loan players and confirmed that they are going back to their parent clubs?
2. Is there or is there not an option to buy on Saito?
3. Has Colback got an option to extend?
4. Jimmy Dunne - what’s going on with him?
5. Kelman - lots of rumours that he’s going to sign for Orient permanently. Surely we should be giving him a chance?
6. West London Sport reporting that Frey and Smyth are next to sign new contracts?

I could go on and on but it feels so disjointed

Thoughts?

[FurtiveFox]

Season only just over so we will be drip fed as and when any new contracts are signed.

90% Jimmy will be gone so would expect our announcement to coincide with news on where he is headed.

Colback I think has a one year option but in our favour. Has done well and we need some experience albeit has had some time out injured.

On Kelman I thought he signed a one year extension in January so has until end of December.

Perhaps the clubs don't think it's relevant yet, because player contracts run to 30th June. Players who may be pencilled in to leave are techically still employed by the club for another six weeks.

Also, the EFL transfer window doesn't open until 14th June and perhaps we're keeping matters open so a new manager can have an input?

Dunne was different because we now know it was a auto extension and Cook was happy with the situation.

Its a bit soon after the end of last season to be getting impatient for news. I suspect there are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes and we don't want to shoot our bolt too quickly!!

I think players get 4 weeks pay if contracts not renewed on 30th June. Doesn't matter if they refuse offer from club. "Redundancy Payment".

Taking Dunne as example. We'll pay him till 30th June. Give him additional 4 weeks pay on 30th June. Signs 1st July for new club. 8 weeks money for 4 weeks work.

So many sign officially on 1st July. Agreed weeks if not months before.
