An important question for us in thinking about new contracts is “do we think we will be in League 1 next year? If so, will player x be good enough to make the step up? “ An example is FBT, who has been excellent for us, but couldn’t make the team at a bottom half of League 1 side - Burton.

Regardless, you need a core of players for some stability whether you believe some are league 1 capable or not. Else, it's a full rebuild yet again. I don't think we have it in us for top 3 finish because of depth. So waiting to see what league we'd be in is incredibly risky. Playoffs look possible but that's still a 1/4 chance. We have to treat this in my opinion as if we're here for another year and if we get promoted it's a bonus.

It’s more likely that those OOC in the summer who have a value will be sold in January for fear of getting jack shit in the summer. Players will hang on if promotion is likely and negotiate a better deal than they’ll get now.

Kemp couldn’t make a relegated L1 side in Franchise last season. Doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

I think its pretty simple. If you had a squad of 22, then you aim to tie down your first 11 to longer contracts, and let the back up 11 run on short term 1 year deals. If you get promoted you then look to replace the back up 11 with a new stronger 11, and the previous first 11 become the squad players. So FBT is a no brainer to tie down.

Must be a good chance of getting Mahoney on a perm as his deal with QPR runs out in June.

Or he'll sign a contract extension like Sol Brynn did at the end of last season.

Or considering how well he is playing in division 4 he will leave QPR for a team higher up the pyramid in the summer.

We can hope Shandy Mich included some contract extension options in the players signed last summer. The fact that RHM and McEachran are still here after signing short term deals bodes well for that possibility.

Yeah, without ignoring the bad, if SDM negotiated some handy 1 year extension clauses (whether that’s based on X games played with an agreed wage increase or another way) then he’ll have done us some good there

I'd think (hope) that the ones we paid money for in particular (Khan, Hutton, FBT) have a decent chance of having clauses.
