After the news that John Sheridan will be remaining as Plymouth Argyle manager, the former Republic of Ireland midfielder has set about ringing changes at Home Park.
Sheridan stated that the club would never again find themselves in a relegation battle if he was allowed to continue as manager following the Pilgrims' final day defeat against Rochdale.
New deals have been offered to seven out-of-contract players, a list which includes Player of the Year Onismor Bhasera, Guy Branston, Jake Cole, Andres Gurrieri, skipper Conor Hourihane, fans' favourite Paul Wotton and Isaac Vassell.
Npower League Two apprentice of the year nominee Tyler Harvey has also been offered his first professional contract.
Amongst the five departures were Anthony Charles, Ollie Chenoweth, Warren Feeney, Jamie Lowry and Jared Sims.
Striker Nick Chadwick and goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin have both been made available for transfer.
There were also changes announced on the coaching front as Romain Larrieu and Kevin Nancekivell will be leaving their posts.
The pair were part of the backroom of Sheridan's predecessor Carl Fletcher and for Larrieu it ends a 13-year association with the Pilgrims, during which time he has experienced the highs of title winning success under Paul Sturrock and the lows of back-to-back relegations and Administration.
