Daniel Johnson

Actually, looks like it depends if we've offered reduced terms.

71.3 An Over 24 Player who has refused an offer of re-engagement which, in the opinion of the Board is not less favourable than the Player’s current contractual terms, shall not be entitled to any severance or other payment in respect of the expiry of his contract or for any period after the expiry of his contract.

Key term there is "opinion of the board". The amount of bullshit from them suggests that they'll think it's not a less favourable contract. Unlikely to become an issue but maybe one to keep an eye on. The club couldn't offer him the same wages as it would take up too much of the budget if he signed but if the offer was too low them it seems Johnson has the right to take the piss and claim his extra months wage. All he has to do is get Alex Neil to agree and I'm sure he'd love to get one over on Ridsdale.
 
Probably offered lower wage but with the carrot of a Testimonial which probably mean total would be close to current pay.
Isn't testimonial income tax free?

What's the chances of Johnson doing preseason with Stoke but not officially signing until 1st August so we have to pay his wage for July. Wouldn't cost Johnson anything but it'd rub Ridsdale and Lowe's face in it and that approx £80,000 would dent quite a big hole in our prem loan fund.

I suspect he will be getting a pay rise if and when he signs for Stoke so why wait. May as well have a few extra grand in your pocket

Or perhaps you are agreeing with the owners by suggesting that we are cutting our budget and we can't afford to pay 50 grand any more ?...

Expensive, inconsistent, sometimes a luxury we cannot afford.
We had "the big 4", lost the better and more valuable 2, and trashed our wage structure in the lesser 2. Have they justified their excessive salaries, I don't think so.

Pretty much. On his day a great player, but how many days does he have per season? I'd say 10, absolute tops.
So, can we afford to pay top rate (for us) to an inconsistent performer? No

Well I would rather have sold him at some point amd got some revenue. But that didn't happen. So now at this juncture, do we push the boat out again and pay top dollar? Is he really worth it? Honestly, I think his best days are behind him, he's inconsistent, and we should move on.
Of course, if we replace him with crap then i won't be happy at all.

We have not offered him top dollar.

Do you actually believe we will bring in better?

This is the question that these folks refuse to answer.

Then they either say wait until September to judge or start praying that woodburn will take a sharp blow to the head and suddenly remember he is supposed to be a professional footballer.

And get ready for phrases like "clean slate", when anyone with a functioning memory of last season will be accused of "scapegoating" rather than simply "remembering".
