They may want to stay but why would you if you know before the start of the season that you are on the outer and even below youth players in the pecking order.
Going on his form last year, Miller appears to be the type of coach who once he makes his mind up about you in regards to what you can contribute to the squad....he doesn't backtrack on his decision. I'm not saying if this is right or wrong, just calling it how I see it.
money.

Given they cant break into a squad that hasn't made the finals for ages and got 8th spot last season who is going to pay them more than they are currently on?

Realistically few a-league teams would be chomping at the bit to sign them, (it's safe to assume) no NPL team would have the cash to match their current contracts, so its either find a payday in south east asia (and tunt he risk of ending up at club who doesn't actually pay you), or wait for ledman to sell you to a Chinese 3rd division side or wait out your contract earning cash riding the pine.
