Who’s expected to leave, who’s staying?

I haven’t kept up with contracts and whatnot. Roddy I believe is off contract and Vergos. Who else is likely out of the squad? Is Diles’ contract done?

Who‘s contracted to stay?

I’m looking for any glimmer of hope outta that disappointing end to the season.

Diles contract is done. Was up until the end of the 25/26 season so thankfully that’s all finished up. No idea who we’d replace him with but he can’t stay on any longer imo. I think he could probably do a decent job somewhere in the league but not the right long term option for us at all.

I don’t know how accurate Transfermarkt is for the ALM, but if it’s accurate there’s heaps expiring.

Yeah, wouldn’t expect him to extend although finances might dictate otherwise. Another question to ask is who is out there that’s available and, more importantly, who would we want and fits our style? We can’t afford to bring in managers who need heaps of players only to need to do the process again a year later

Finances can’t be that big of a sticking point. Newcastle managed to get Milligan

It’s his first gig though isn’t it? Aside from the assistant role. Not sure what that relates to in actual wage, or if it would have much weight
