Chesterfield is gearing up for the pre-season with a squad that remains largely intact. The club currently has 18 players under contract, and discussions are ongoing with experienced centre-half Kyle McFadzean regarding a new deal. Although some players may be attracting interest from other clubs, there have been no firm enquiries as of yet. Assistant manager Danny Webb noted that any discussions about player movements are typically between the owner and the manager, but he is not aware of any concrete approaches at this time. Following their exit from the League Two play-off semi-finals against Notts County, Chesterfield's players and staff came together to reflect on the season. Eleven players were released as part of a strategy to prepare for measured transfer activity during the off-season. Webb expressed disappointment over how the season concluded, particularly the loss to Notts County, but he sensed a determination among the players to return stronger next season. The returning players appear to be unified in their goals as they look ahead to the challenges of the upcoming season.
