According to transfermarkt - the following players' deals expire in the summer.

Based on what I've seen so far - the only ones I'd keep beyond summer 2021, whether we get promoted or not, are the ones in bold. I think if we get promoted each of the bolded ones will be useful squad options. If we don't get promoted they'll be more likely to play.

The ones not in bold should, in my opinion, not be part of our plans after summer '21, in this league or any. May be harsh on some, but they're either crap or have had long enough to make it work here, and it hasn't. I'd be willing to let go of most of them in January as well.

  • Leadbitter
  • McGeady
  • Power
  • Graham
  • Connor Mc
  • Maguire
  • Matthews
  • Willis
  • Burge
  • McFadzean
  • Hume
  • Benji
  • Diamond

Is there any way to make the majority of the rest of that list in bold as well mate?
 
He's speaks really well and puts a lot into perspective. Sounds like it's just a matter of time. As he said, in some respects, regardless who has made the decision to implement the new structure, its a good decision. Although I'm not sure he realised he was on camera, very fidgety!
He is very reassuring, hopefully the announcement won't be long now

Given his age, I'm curious to see if KLD brings in some sort of mentor figure in a chairman type role, just a bit of grey hair on the board.​

Thats the one!<laugh>

I thought that may be the one mate, if it's the Jim White of the Jim White show on talkSPORT sponsored by his good friends at Wickes, it's the same one that says it's a beautiful day here in central London as he looks out of the window over Simon Jordan's right shoulder, sponsored by Wickes. Has Jim White of the Jim White show sponsored by his good friends at Wickes said what time his close friend Lee Johnson will be on the Jim white show sponsored by Wickes live on talkSPORT this morning from central London just over Simon Jordan's right shoulder,mate?

If Lee Johnson is on the Jim white show sponsored by Wickes this morning live from central London, you just no he'll try and probe about the takeover. Could be worth a listen
 
I assume,
Maybe incorrectly but if a player is deregulated from the 22 man squad then his wages don’t count towards the cap. This paying them off becomes if they have done this down not effect the overall cost. Granted it’s still a cost to the club but not included in the limits set.
Or meringue?

I thought that, his questions were so long I nearly forgot where he was coming from <laugh>
Tbh I think Tom White was the same. A couple of times the lad rambled on, making his own point, then stopped as if he'd asked a question so Tom White was nearly caught out. As the old saying goes, you've got two ears and one mouth, use them in that proportion.
 
According to transfermarkt - the following players' deals expire in the summer. I know this might not be fully accurate because I think Feeney should be on this list.

Rather controversially, I wouldn't be surprised if Leadbitter left in January. Listening to what the falk podcast with a Bristol journo, Johnson likes a lot of energy and movement in his midfield. Not really Grant that tbf. I'd imagine he's on a fair bit anarl.

Would it be good PR to offer him a coaching role?

I was about to say this. He'd be the last to go out of the ones I listed, in my opinion. But this should be his last year as a player at this club. If he wants to keep playing then good for him, but I'd love it if he stayed with the club as a coach.

Maguire and Power, for me, whilst both have arguably been decent enough servants - I'd love to see both go ASAP. They completely represent the Stewart Donald era and I want Johnson to be able to build his team. I'd add Wyke and Grigg to the list but their contracts may prohibit it.

EDIT - just read an article which says Wyke's contract expires this summer as well. He's another one I'd add to this list of definitely leaving in 2021.
