Daniel Johnson

I don’t think he’ll go as it stands.

He’s stuck between doing too well to get sacked but not well enough to get a significantly better offer, and his efforts to talk his way into one are falling a bit flat. He won’t just walk without something to go to.

I think the delay with the retained list is worrying.

Maybe they are too embarrassed to release as nobody has wanted to sign new deals...

DJ is worth at least 12 another 12 months, and we should've offered that months ago. We never learn...year after year contracts run out and we only offer in May.

Whiteman has 1 year left. I'd be amazed if we offer him a contract during the season.

Like everything else.

Apathy

No one seems bothered in the slightest.

I would imagine the DJ situation is the only one that would lead to them holding back on the retained list.

They can easily state "such and such offered a contract."

I will be very surprised given what has been said on here but would make sense.

They have until friday to submit the list to the EFL.

Just to be clear, I was responding to a post about what Lowe might do.

No idea about Johnson really although obviously the hold up is likely to be about money. Presumably they think there’s a chance of him signing hence they are holding off as long as possible.
 
Club tactic - as seen in previous seasons with Pearson, etc…
Get fans fixated with a single player will he/won’t he sign while the club lurch from one psychodrama to another.
Rinse and repeat.

In fairness to DJ if he’s got a significantly better £££ offer from Stoke and he’s not gone yet, then I would suggest for whatever reason it’s not the best move for him and potentially he’s hoping for alternative offers ?

Not sure but I think only 3 Championship clubs have released retaining list yet .
Seems they are all holding them back.
 
How does a retained list work as contracts generally run until 30th June.

We could include DJ on there but it would only mean we’ve offered a contract to him. I’m not too worried about that list as it only shows the players we don’t want to keep and i can’t see any surprise on there.

They usually specify:

- Contracted players
- Players with options triggered
- Players with contracts offered/remain in discussion
- Players who have been released/elected not to renew
