This story today says Ifill's off the books so does anyone know what his next move will be playing or coaching wise?

You're reading too much into it. He is out of contract but as far as I am aware is still rehabbing with the club. If he does get back to fitness and gains residency he might be offered a new contract. It may be at a reduced wage in which case it would still free up money. Or he not be back at all. We just have to wait and see.
