Perhaps we have to return Maguire back to Chesterfield as he has a contract with them to 1st June. Then he becomes a free agent when he can search for a new club.
Maguire not being under the "negotiating contract" section is just a technicality due to him being on loan. Even though he has been released, his contract date probably ran till end of May like most contracts would. I'm sure they are negotiating a deal
Yes 😞 this is the one I'm gutted about. Last season it was Ludwig. Hoping we sign Maguire now he's without a club.
Yes I am disappointed the most about Harry Ransom, as I feel he is our best defender. However, I have always suspected that he was not as well regarded by Scott and this confirms it. Good luck Harry, I am sure you will find somewhere soon. Deserve to play League 2 football.
Glad to see we have already signed up Dion and, taken options on Orsi and Addai, although didn't realise we had one on Addai. SUrprised still discussing with Will Wright as thought we had option on his contract. Looks like have signed up Ryan Sandford for further period, as I thought his contract expired.
It is a bit of a concern that we are still negotiating with so many players, but that may be due to participating in the playoffs and not knowing what league we will be in. Hopefully we can agree contracts with most of them, and glad to see Nick Tsaroulla on the list. Surprised to see Ban Gladwin on list as thought retiring. Assume will look at offering contract to Maguire?
Of the released, all make sense with exception of Harry Ransom. We have also released 3 defenders, so this is clearly the area we need to be recruiting in the summer together with a experienced striker and strong central midfielder
I don't think we need to worry about these players having not already signed contracts. I think sometimes it's just a long process between agents and players regarding money

Think you’re right about Harry, I’ve observed SL a few times lose his shit with something he’s done and let him know about it.
Maybe he just felt he couldn’t always count on him to make the right decisions but still sad about what’s happened all the same.
Looking at the under negotiation list I would say only two are regular starters so would not be surprised if others are looking at other offers, so will depend on what we are offering whether they sign or not.
I think its as good as we could have hoped for at this stage, I am still wary that the team may look very different in a couple of months time, I dont see the 1 year options triggered as certainty that both Danilo and Corey will be with us next season, both these players will be worth a substantial amount in transfer fees and the option ensures that CTFC will get the benefit. If the current "in negotiation" players sign I see that as a clear indication that they are not intending to move on and that Scott has given them some sort of assurances that he is not moving on. It must be quite a conflict for all of them balancing the potential to cash in while their stock is high versus the desire to see what they can achieve next season by staying together.
This is my view on the priority for those in negotiations:
1. Will Wright 2. Kellan Gordon 3. Jeremy Kelly 4. Jack Roles 5. Nick Tsaroulla 6. Adam Campbell
I think it has been said that Ben Gladwin is retiring so I guess negotiations are about a coaching role.
Tend to agree with most of this but I think Jeremy Kelly could be the difference in League 1 from what we’ve seen at times, so I’d potentially put him on par with Wright in terms of importance. If we could only have 3 it would be Wright, Kelly and Tsaroulla for me.
