And if he didn't sign it then they could have sold him and got a fee.
Either way it seems a bit naive to let by far your best player's contract to run down and allow him to leave on a free.
Thank God we didn't do that with Matty Cash for example.
Anyway this is not an attack on Dane but I was just pointing out the fact that Mowatt was allowed to leave on a free.
Do we know when he was and wasn't offered a new deal? Or if discussions took place around the subject?
Looks to me Mowatt was always going to test free agency, knowing he's at the prime point of his career to pick up what will probably be his best ever contract, and earn way beyond what Barnsley could ever afford, even as their top earner.
