NOTTS County boss Chris Kiwomya's top priority is sorting out the future of key players at Meadow Lane now his own has been decided.
Kiwomya has just been given a three-year deal by the club and plans to speak to the likes of Alan Judge, Jeff Hughes, Alan Sheehan and Julian Kelly about new deals.
The club has let their contracts, and those of other players, run down to the last few months and Kiwomya wants to quickly find out who is going to stay and who is going to leave so he can start making plans for next season.
"I can start looking at players who I'd like to try to bring in now and speaking to players who are out of contract to see what they want," he said.
Midfielder Judge looks certain to leave Notts at the end of the season, with Kiwomya unsure if the club can keep hold of him.
"I don't know, it's down to Alan at the end of the day," he said.
"He's a very good player and he's contributed a lot to the club since he's been here, but he can play higher so we'll just have to see.
"I'm not resigned to losing him, but it's got to the stage where his contract is running out so the ball is more in his court."
Kiwomya could find himself having to rebuild a big chunk of the first team if Judge is followed out of the exit door.
"It is what it is," he added.
"It's something I've inherited so you can't worry about it, you have just got to get on with it."
The club are also set to have contract talks with their promising young players like Fabian Spiess, Haydn Hollis and Greg Tempest, who have all tasted action for Notts this season.
"I think the chief exec will be looking at that situation and trying to tie down the youngsters we have got who are out of contract, definitely," said Kiwomya.
