Was that all the time he was with us Phill or just after he'd had Covid?
I only say that as if it's the latter I hope it's not a sign that he won't get back to what he was fitness wise.

He did it all the time, it was the last thing he did right before kick off.

Agree, whilst he has had a poor Season due to injuries and COVID he was up until then an extremely important member of the squad and usually the Team and overall has made a much greater contribution than some others over a number of Seasons.
So presuming that he wanted to stay - and there are some indications that he didn't and wanted a new challenge - then I too am disappointed.

They didnt offer him anything at all🤷

Yes - this is my understanding of the situation too. He has had 12 grand on the table for some time now and neither he nor the club would budge- though I was led to understand he was on the point of signing a few weeks back. I think the fact that RL has not seen him play due to injury , and the fact that Tom prefers to play wide in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 , means both parties are happy to look elsewhere.

I would say 12 grand is a fair wage for a club like us. But it is also fair for Tom to point out that he has consistently performed better than the likes of Maguire and Harrop and he should be on way more than them . With the benefit of hindsight, the biggest mistake we have made in my view, was giving Sinclair 17grand plus a week , which upped the wage structure and was then the negotiating reference point for all the contracts that came up subsequently.

I could see him ending up at somewhere like Wigan or Sunderland with a 3 year deal. The plastics would be a strange one given they have no manager.

Not true. There was no deal ever on the table.
 
Thought there may have been a post on social media from him as well. If not thanking the club then certainly the supporters. I suppose there is time yet or maybe he will just go the way of the Darnell and not bother.

I'm not saying that's "right" but Barky really didn't help his cause among the hierarchy with his interviews earlier in the season.

Yes I do agree. I know he said a few things but I’m sure they lied about being in talks of a new offer so when he was asked about it it would be hard not to get a bit wound up. Hes not good at playing the media game

If that's true that no talks were had then it's shocking. Tom would have been well within his rights to set the record straight in an interview or even on his own social media.
