Lennie waiting on Legg's decision
There is no place for Leo FW in Lennie's plans at Cardiff City. The big striker will be on the move after Lennie decided not to offer him a new deal. It's claimed that over 10 enquiries had come in for the former Rotherham striker and there should be no problem in him getting a new club.

Andy Legg has been offered a one year deal but as yet has not spoken in person with Lennie so it's unknown if he will accept the offer.

Gareth Ainsworth and Steve Jenkins have not been offered deals either but Lennie has not frozen them out completely. They are free to look for new clubs but if they struggle and if budgets allow then they are potentials for Lennie to re-sign. Ainsworth in interesting Colin Lee at Walsall where is spent time on loan last season and could well consider a move back to the Midlands.

Gethin Jones has not been offered a new contract and has been told by Lennie that if he has not sorted out by the start of pre season he's welcome back at Ninian Park? Not sure of the exact implications of that, whether it's just to train or what.

Layton Maxwell and Des Hamilton still have a year to sun on their contracts but Lennie has told them to find other clubs. Hamilton still feels he has a job to do at Ninian Park but Lennie has other ideas.

Martyn Giles, Andy Jordan, Mark Walton, Fan Zhiyi, Tony Wallis and Simon Heall are all on their way out with no contract renewalls they are all free to leave.

One last player to have gone is Lee Fowler. His loan period was until the end of the season and now thats over he's returned to Coventry City.

News of Andy Legg's decision when it's available and best of luck and thanks to all the other players who will be moving on.
