How about Jason Taylor? I'd have thought he signed a 2 year contract last summer.
Also Chinua Cole has, I think, a contract till summer 2019.
Plus, what about Mr Eastleigh, Greeny (as named by RM). When does his contract expire? I don't know.
I then come to 3 players out on loan, namely David Pipe, Ryan Bird, & Connor Essam (are there any others I've forgotten?). I would guess at least 2 are signed till summer '18.
How RH, or another Manager is going to sort out that lot, i.e. whether he wants them next season or not & what to do with them, is an unenviable task.

Chinua Cole till summer 19 www.eastleighfc.com/2017/02/02/eastleigh-sign-chinua-cole/I don't believe Jason Taylor, Michael Green, Connor Essam or David Pipe currently have a contract for next season (seems unlikely the last 2 of that last will feature for us IMO-given they had both been out on loan for the last few months). I think Ryan Bird left us permanently (rather than just out on loan) in January for Newport. |

I think Reda was to 2020, but other than that seems right. Taylor, Greener, Essam and Pipe, have no contracts for next season. Anyone know what happened to Ryan Burge? Thought he looked decent when he played.

Not been any news about him, my guess is he's injured. I think he was brought in on a non-contract basis until the end of this season.
Having looked at his CV (Wikipedia) when he signed, he'd only played about 80 first team games in a 10 yr career, so maybe he has been plagued with injuries over that time.

In the context of life itself does it really matter what happens to Constable. Football is a hobby after all so who really cares?

Absolutely, it's not going to save me from work tomorrow -just a question though.

Will James Constable be staying? As it clearly states above, he is out of contract, so unless he signs a new deal, then I would hazard a guess and say no... |

I think constable should be given a 1 year contract! First season got us the goals for the playoffs. Last season very average but worked hard. This season not really been given the chance. 4 managers, out of favour with 2 of them. Started the season well. Then certainly didn't get a look in under Allen. Give him a year! Needs the right man next to him. Goals have been very dry but he puts in a hell of a shift.

I would say he has been given far too much playing time. Nothing against him, but I wouldn't give a contract to someone just because they try hard. He is caught offside far too often and for the last 2 years has delivered very little in the way of goals. If we are relying on him for next season I can see us achieving what MA nearly delivered this season. |

This season we have never played in a way or with the forwards who play to JC strengths. I do not expect him to be starting every game, but with the right people alongside him I think he could do very well as an impact player. And you dismiss trying hard, if the rest of the Eastleigh squad had matched his work rate we would have gained many more points than we have done this season.
