I get that but either let him have the security of a longer contract or release him to get one somewhere else

Yeah I can see that, might be one of them where if a replacement comes in he could be sold? Even a year down the line I’m sure he’d get a bottom champ/top league 1 gig
 
Some might have said similar about Whiteman before his preston move.

Not really. Whiteman was 24 and by far the best player in League 1. He’s just got better since playing in the Championship. Dougall is a 30-year-old League 1 journeyman who has struggled in the Championship.

if southampton are smart, they're getting on the phone already for him
 
What's the deal with this one. Did he not want to sign or did we release him? Thought he was meant to be one of our best prospects, if a little lightweight.

He wasn't being played in his best position and he wasn't happy about being loaned out to far away clubs only to find himself not in the squad because the manager favoured local players. There's a lot going on there, but basically he wasn't happy and didn't want to stay.
