It's as meaningless as any league game ever will be. We're 9th now, win 5-0 we finish 9th, lose 5-0 and it still requires results elsewhere to go against us to cause us to plummet down the table to 10th.
As a club we are constantly asking players to show loyalty to the club and stay an extra season, or continue to perform when the subject of transfer speculation, or to accept we can't pay the wages of other teams. It is very rare that the club have an opportunity to show loyalty to the player and put the players' interests above the club. It's helpful to demonstrate to players that the club will do that when deserved.
Kenny's played 3700+ minutes for us this season and missed just 6 mins of league football in 2026. It's arguably much more valuable to give Wright the minutes in the middle anyway. There's no reason to risk his world cup spot in our final game.
