What are they waiting for Xmas?

O'Connor, Bittner and Harvey all been offered contracts for next season yet they still haven't either signed or rejected like Alessandra has already done. Whats the hold up i wonder?

Negotiations.
Other clubs' offers.
To hear the new gaffer's plans.
To get more money out of Argyle's penny pinching opening offer.
To get extra years/contract extension clauses.
Holidays.

Etc.

Maybe they are on holiday.

What? The whole season off wasn't enough?

Mind you the management has changed those offers could be withdrawn soon so i hope they dont take too much longer to decide to stay or not.

Can't believe Bittner hasn't re-signed. With his record (is it one league appearance at the age of 33?) he's not going to get another club offering him a contract as a full-time player. If I was him I'd have signed asap before the new manager changes his mind.

O'Connor will definitely have 'options'. Harvey might have a better chance of 1st team football elsewhere, and is probably wise to find out what Adams thinks of him.

Somewhere I read Harvey and Banton could be off to Yeovil

Depends what the terms are really. If he can earn more on civvy street doing a real job, (which is highly possible given that it's Brent offering the deals) then it's no surprise he isn't desperate to sign.

What if Bittner was offered £300 a week. And could get more money being a plumber or a conservatory salesman?

Bittner could literally be thinking about the next phase in his life, his career in football is over, he's a small time coach now probably scraping a living.

Mickey Evans did exactly the same. The day after he retired he started his new life as a builder with his own gang.

Yeovil could easily be this season's Tranmere. There's no money and they're in freefall.

Back to non-League?

Waiting for the rest of the squad to report back for training to find out if the horror stories online* are true or not?

*horror stories from a players POV that is, as fans we quite like 'em to be beasted.
