Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has warned his players that they are fighting for their own futures at the club as well as Premier League survival.
The QPR boss argues that players near the end of their contracts should be trying their hardest to engineer talks for a contract renewal or a move away from the club.
First-team players like Karl Henry, Joey Barton and Bobby Zamora are all in the final stages of their contracts but are not guaranteed to have their deals renewed in the summer, according to the manager.
"From an individual point of view anyone out of contract would be working their guts off to get a new contract or put themselves in the shop window for someone else to give them a contract," Ramsey told Sky Sports News.
"Anyone in that situation would try their best to maintain their career wherever it might be.
"If it's here, they have to make sure that Les Ferdinand, the owners and myself or whoever is here see them as providing value for the club next season. If others see a bad attitude it'd limit their options to where they can go in the future."
A win against West Ham United this weekend could move QPR out of the relegation zone, as the West London club are two points adrift of safety.
