Anyone have a list of who's out of contract at end of season?
Any views on who's likely to be released/retained?
Presume Brandy will be gone for one? |  | | |  |

Kennedy, Dawson, Brandy,McGinty, Muldoon all out of contract. Everyone else signed up (I think). |  |

I think the only one of those likely to be here next season is TK.
Would love to see Dawson stay another year but I think he will move on to a team paying him more money in the summer. The others will all be released as they have nothing to offer the current squad. |  |

Kennedy needs to be a priority signing, he's different class. |  | | |

I disagree, I think Dawson will be here next season. I also think Kennedy will not. |  | | |

Dawson chose us late on as teams were wary with the match fixing allegations, now cleared my guess is his agent will be putting his name about to 'bigger' clubs. I don't expect him to be here next season. Tk is a hard one to predict. [Post edited 17 Apr 2015 7:25]

On the assumption that Dawson is one of the top earners, given how midfield has been dominated in recent weeks by our younger players, I don't see Dawson as a "must sign".
He's a great player and the last thing I'm suggesting is that we get rid of him, but if we are paying out top wages, I reckon we'd be better off using it to strengthen the defence or bringing in a striker than in midfield. |  | | |

And that's been without Lund, too.
For me Dawson is our best midfielder by some distance but if we do have to lose him it won't be the end of the world. It may pave the way for the likes of Camps and Cannon to hold down a first team place. |  |

KH has been a big fan of both in the past - 'pinched' TK from the buckets, later signed him at Barnsley and then again at Dale, and also took Dawson to Barnsley. Both bring experience and quality to the team, and next season might be seen as mentors to Dale's younger players.
I'm not sure just where their agents might find them better contracts. Both are 29 and probably good for a couple of seasons, though unlikely to improve, and neither has achieved much beyond League 1 level. Recently Dawson has had a few injuries and TK's season has been a bit odd with brief loan periods at bury and Blackpool.
It'll be interesting to see what KH has decided - try to keep one or both at the club or free up more money to pay for that goalscorer we all want to be signed. If KH does want to keep them, wouldn't they already have had offers of extentions to their contracts? | | | |

Dawson is quality but because of his style of play he will always pick up injuries. Keeping him on the pitch is a problem. | | | |
