Kerry Mayo - Release, not getting any better/younger/slimmer
Richard Carpenter - Release, age catching up with him
Charlie Oatway - 1 year as have to admit we have missed him since Boxing Day
Guy Butters - 1 year pay as you play
Gary Hart - 1 year as he continues to suprise with versatility
Chris McPhee - release, will sign for a conference sign before ending up in the County League
Jason Dodd - 1 year pay as you play deal. Think he could of been good if fit but unfortunate with injuries.

Agreed except it would be unfair to give Butters a play as you play deal. He's not exactly renowed for missing games is hethedonkeycentrehalf said:

Richard Carpenter - definitely a one-year deal, he is our best central midfielder when fully fit
Charlie Oatway - 2 years because he is getting better with age, is a brilliant skipper and after that will also have a big future at our club
Guy Butters - as good as last season, so definitely another year
Gary Hart - Tough one, not sure. His versatility might swing him a new contract.
Chris McPhee - the emergence of Joe Gatting I think will close the door on him
Jason Dodd - terribly unlucky, but it's an unfathomable injury/back complaint, so no
Kerry Mayo - Another tough one. A few weeks ago I would have said no but maybe he has a chance given his recent performances
Michel Kuipers - needs to be found a new club, not willing to be our No2
Mark McCammon - a shame, but his disagreements with McGhee means it's better he moves on
Albert Jarrett - his learning curve has not been quick enough and the question marks over his team discipline means it's probably better he hits the transfer list too
Flo Chaigneau - the Channel tunnel beckons for real this time

Can't argue with this, apart from the length of Harty's contract!
Dodd knows he is retiring at the end of the season. (today's Argus)
Jason Dodd admitted today his brief Albion career will be over at the end of the season.
But he is determined to bow out with a bang, by helping the Seagulls stay in the Championship.
Ankle and back injuries have restricted defender Dodd to six appearances since Albion signed the former Southampton stalwart on a one-year contract last summer.
Dodd, 35, said: "I'm realistic. I'd be very surprised if they even offered me tea boy, because I've not really been involved.
"I've not offered much this season, so I cannot hold out any high hopes over what is going to happen.
"If I was a fan I'd be thinking 'any chance?' (of playing). I understand that and really I've got no argument with it, because they are right.
"I thought I'd be playing in the vast majority of games. If it was through lack of form fair enough, but it has just been taken out of my hands.
"I had two big chunks of bone come off my ankle, which you don't expect, and they think I was carrying that when I came back which set the back off.
"That's the disappointing thing about it. The manager went out of his way to get me down here and I just feel I haven't produced anything."
Dodd's last 90 minutes was back in August against today's visitors Preston.
His comeback from ankle surgery at Cardiff at the end of November was cut short by lower back trouble, but he resumed full training recently and hopes to play a role in the relegation run-in.
"There are eight games left after Preston," he said. "I want to get involved in as many as I can.
"I think that's what the manager is after. We've just got to really dig in. There's a mini-league of four of us at the bottom and we've got to come top of that."
Manager Mark McGhee has sympathy for the burden placed on other Albion veterans, such as skipper Guy Butters and Richard Carpenter, by the absence of squad strengthening.
"I feel for the older players," McGhee said. "The likes of Guy Butters and Richard Carpenter should have been given more help.
"The help we have given them is by bringing in young players, but they, given their efforts, should have been given more help.
"We weren't able to, because of the situation the club is in. We have to accept that, but we don't enjoy it.
"I'm sick of being beaten, I'm sick of having to accept we have a young squad that we can't really strengthen much.
"Every week we come in saying we've done well, battled hard, played well at times, made chances but lost. It's not what I am used to and if anyone thinks I enjoy that they are stupid.
"It's the opposite of what I am used to and the opposite of what I take pride in. When I look at the table and see us second-bottom I'm embarrassed, but I'm having to accept it."
