It is the nightmare scenario for the club. Austin holds all the cards and can negotiate a nice sign-on / good wages as a free agent next season, why would he want to risk that?
Meh. Retaining a good #2 goalkeeper is very difficult.
I’d be happy with Gunn remaining as number one and will just pray that he doesn’t get injured. Forster showed the horror between the sticks that awaits against West Ham.
We are entitled to a development fee if we offer to renew the contract at the same terms as I understand.
If the player will get signed elsewhere and we wouldn’t mind being stuck with him if he accepted - it’s a pretty sensible thing to do.
