Here are the players who will still be on contract at VP next season ..
O'Donnell
Riley
O'Connor
Scannell
Reeves
Doyle
Robinson
McCarten
Mellor
Patrick
Akpan
Wood
Gibson
Sykes-Kenworthy
Staunton
Wright
That's 16 in total with 14 13 ending in 2020 and two three (Wood, O'Connor and Staunton) in 2021. If all of these were placed on the transfer list in the summer, I don't envisage many takers even assuming that they can be 'encouraged' to leave. And I seriously doubt that any of them would justify a transfer fee given the season they have had. If we want to get rid, we'll end up having to pay them off for next season's contract or pay something to a new club to subsidise their wages elsewhere. I doubt there will be a cheap option to place us in a position to assemble a good squad for next season.

On that basis, I anticipate that some of our squad will have comparable Contracts and may leave if we go down (Scannell, Riley and O’Donnell?).
I always think it seems strange that clubs apparently do not have clauses in the contracts which could see them release players if we are relegated, or see a reduction in their salary to the league average in which the club operates.
At the moment McCartan and Gibson have gone out on loan. I think McCartan for sure and Gibson to a lesser extent will not want to return, so could leave on mutual consent.
So that could see the figure reduce to say 12. Sykes-Kenworthy, Staunton and perhaps Patrick are likely to be on lower wages, so would not have a dramatic impact on wages. Robinson’s situation is uncertain and he could end up leaving, depending on the outcome of his suspension.Bantamsteve likes this. -

I produced the list of 16 several weeks ago.
I will change the title of the thread to cover other areas which could be used to start another thread.
If you see something in a new thread which deals with these specific issues, just report it and the Mods can consider merging them.
Hope that helps.RonnieBrown likes this. -
Thanks. At least we now know what the position is in relation to those.

Wouldn't surprise me if one or 2 didn't have a release clause in their contract in case of relegation. O'Donnell certainly did with Northampton before

So we have 16 for definite. If as you say we offload McCarten, Gibson and say Patrick takes us down to 13. If we bring in 7 good/decent players of the calibre who will battle/perform (as per Blackpool yesterday when most of their players were cast offs from other clubs) and give these 13 the motivation to perform we would have a decent squad of 20 players. Add 2 or 3 decent young loanees (Burke/Cullen calibre) plus maybe a couple of our own young players to be on the bench if needed, and with a full pre-season organised properly to get them all fit and raring to go, then we should be capable of having a decent shot at promotion from League 2 - IMO.

Doyle would be the biggest question mark, mainly from a wages prospective. However I’m speculating and assuming they will be high when in reality I have no idea. With the right players around him, I believe he’s a good player.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

Jeeeze .......... Yet another thread about our contracted squad.
The same can be said about performances, and whose fault it is ?
Over the last fortnight or so, I bet you could merge 20 threads into just four or five.
Same old shit over and over again ............ and yet again !Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -
