The Star understands that some decisions are now starting to be made with regards to the U23s and U18s, and that this week could prove to be a big one for a number of players who will find out whether they have a future at Hillsborough or not.
With the first team, however, it is likely that decisions will only be made later this month once it’s been confirmed which division they’ll be in, with league status set to play a big role in the offers on the table.
