"Obviously a lot of our guys have had successful seasons, so they are going to attract some interest. The fear is that we are left without a team. "I would also hope that the management team would still be around because they have played a massive part in maintaining the spirit of the squad. But there is speculation linking them with other clubs as well. "It's of paramount importance that Davie Hay is still here for next season and I think all the players would like to have Davie about. "My fear is that because things have dragged on players will have been worrying about their futures and with the opportunity to sign pre-contracts maybe one or two of them might have followed Marvin." Striker Derek Lilley welcomed yesterday's meeting with Flynn but was also hopeful things could move on quickly. He said: "As long as everything can be sorted out with my situation I'll be quite happy, providing that the coaching staff are going to be here."
