Meanwhile, midfielder Gardner is also in line for a pay rise, despite spending the season on loan at rivals Birmingham City.Both are out of contract at the end of next season, but Lansbury and Hogan are under contract until 2021.The potential wage-bill woes arise from commitments made during the reign of former owner Dr Tony Xia, who sanctioned a spending spree shortly after taking control from previous incumbent Randy Lerner.
