My guess is Wollacott, AK, Conroy, Baudry, Hunt, East, Reed, JML and Payne all leave
Williams to stay for another year with the 5 other contracted players
I believe Reed is staying and has or will sign. Paynes wages are the issue with us being in lg2 as are Conroy's, Baundry may decide not to retire as he has said that he has fallen back in love with football being in our 1st team in the last few months. Hunt i think will be a high earner so probably join wellens at Orient. AK i cant see going, hasn't done enough to be wanted outside of STFC and on lower wage. Woolacott likely to go i think. |

It was said awhile ago that Reed/Williams had signed and were staying. I assume some complications with embargo etc prevented them confirming and officially doing it.
No way Payne stays with his wage.
The important thing is we get better squad options than East/JML. JML particualrly was poor and meant we had no attacking back up.
I'll be sad to see Hunt go. You don't get a better RB in this league. It will also be a sign of worry if we cant afford his wages. Not quite the same as Payne as Payne is on a fortune.
AK - you have to ask can we get better? His ball playing has been bad this season, which is important to Garner. But his flexibility gives him a lot of value.

How can Conroy’s wages be an issue? With his injury history he should be in no position to demand big money. If he’s a high earner or demand high wages then he’s certainly not worth the money. |

Everyone has bills to service. If he can get more elsewhere then fair enough. Have we even offered him a reduced contract? |

He's on league 1 money apparently. Heard a few rumours earlier, Wollacott is off to Pompey. Conroy and Hunt off to join Wellens at Orient. |

All this talk of reduced budget worries me. Its been dismissed before but people keep saying it. I cannot possibly see the justification coming out of a transfer embargo with the season we've had and the support we've got.
That being said, even with a bit if of a bigger budget I'd expect, we'll still lose some because clubs in higher divisions will come in for them.

I’m not Conroys biggest fan in the slightest but I wouldn’t expect him to take a pay cut to stay. |

Did anyone here Zavier Austin on the prematch BBC Wiltshire sound yesterday? The way he was talking it sounded like our budget should be good next season but whether that was dependant on L1 or not i'm not sure. Have a listen around 44 minutes in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0c5lnfc |

Not overly bothered about any of that to be honest. I rate Ward. I don't rate Conroy. Hunt is decent but doesn't really work in out system as a right wing back. |

When he re-signed him in 2019, we had to fend off League One interest off the back of his impressive end to the 18/19 campaign. After his injury he stated he chucked on an extra year. There must have been an option, potentially appearance based he must have triggered to have extended after 20/21. So is most likely on the same wages we offered in 2019 |

The budget isn’t being cut - it’s being increased. However, certain players (Conroy, Payne) are on pretty good money for a league 2 side, which isn’t sustainable. So have/will be offered reduced terms. That’s all it is. |

Nice one. Be class to keep Reed. No shocks about the others. Only thing I disagree with you on is AK- think he’s been class when he’s had to fill in at left back season. Poor blokes got a left foot about as useful as Oscar Pistorius’s left limb and has still been solid. |

No but I would have also expected his wages to reflect that one of his renewals was a good will gesture to give him security to return from injury. His cost vs games played ratio must be ridiculous if he’s maintained his original wage in all that time. If Wellens wants to pay him decent money and take a punt on him then he’s welcome to him. |
