“We’ve made our offers and made it clear that we want them to stay but there’s nothing more we can do now – the ball’s in their court.
“It’s down to them to make their decisions and it will be fantastic if they decide to stay, but I won’t let the club go into the pre-season without replacements.
"This is a big club and we’re going places; if some people don’t want to come with us on that ride, no problem – we’ll look for others who do.
“I’ve got my list just in case people don’t re-sign and I won’t be led down the garden path.
"If that starts to happen, I’ll make the decision because we need to move on.”
Does the transfer embargo definitely affect the renewal of players already with the club?
It definitely affects bringing in new players.
But it wouldn't prevent our players signing new contracts right? I've never been sure of the specifics.

Heros when they play for us, Wasters if they don't, the absolute definition of "FICKLE" Do you sit/ stand, in block 15 by any chance.
I Agree that if they dont want to sign, "Jog em on" but do we really have to slag them off, after the service they have done for the club and the fans, and probably unsure about where next weeks wages were coming from too, These players owe us nothing, if they choose to go,.....so be it, and good luck to them.
Tankie...
Probably the most predictable headline of the season - we offer contracts to three players (although there is some debate as to whether a new offer was ever made to Westy) and everyone is overjoyed - now when it turns out those offers were not good enough and were never going to be good enough and its the players who are greedy and holding the club to ransom. Simply we cannot compete with other comparable sized clubs when it comes to wages - whether this is due to mismanagement or misguided owners is another debate but these contracts were never going to be signed and the news of ofers was as ever with these clowns another example of smoke and mirrors.

I agree totally Tankie but please don't lump all of the block 15'ers as one. Unusually disrespectful from you Tankie, we'll call it a minor aberrationYes there are some 'naughty boys' over there and it will of course always attract the chavs but not all are and some wil just like the atmosphere and being part of the 'loud' section. It's not for me but respect to those who do.
La la La,
To give him his full title, "Leamington Boot Boy" this is something of a misleading user name, his posts on the now defunct ic Telegraph
"Sky Blue Forum" were nothing short of intelligent, witty and,sometimes wlckedly confrontational, he upset many users with his unforgiving replies, but the mods never really got on his back, and they were indulgent of him, He was certainly a major player on the Forum, you either liked him, feared him or hated him, he was a top poster in my opinion,....And i miss his wit..
La La la......Is this enough to ban him??????:thinking about:
<br />Not wild speculation but educated guesswork based on long experience of how this club operates. Did anyone actually expect these contracts to be signed? The fact is we are skint and there was no way the contracts were going to be attractive enough to keep the players - what I dislike is the fact that because the players haven't fallen over themselves to sign these last minute contracts and are exercising there right to seek other offers they are being accused of holding the club to ransom. Like I said smoke and mirrors. I don't want the club to be offering contracts we cannot afford as that is what nearly killed the club in the first place but lets not treat the fans as idiots by blaming the players for holding the club to ransom for refusing to sign contracts when they can earn more elsewhere.
