Part of warbs statement about capt Mannering not quoted in a previous post i.e. “I wish Ryan all the best but I only want players to be here who want to contribute to the team performance.”........can't contribute if you don't play him! No player is obliged to sign a contract extension....petty and pretty dumb not to play a player who would have held a place in the team based on non committal to 'future' committal so early in season. Not as if they are playing out the season. The paltry fee received probably would have been higher if he played up to the transfer window and the club could still have sold him.
