Didn't we release him from his contract on the basis that he didn't sign for another Championship club?
That went well then ...
Seems wrong. We clearly had no protection on this, or Sam has broken a Gentleman's agreement. |  | | |  |

You are speculating about an agreement. I doubt it exists. |  | | |

As monumental as he was for us, it’s probably time to let it go now without bitter recrimination or wild speculation.
I don’t see Bristol City troubling us unduly. |  |

I just seems to remember at the time reading that he could leave for no fee on that condition more then once including on here. Okay, hands up, I may be wrong ... I haven't the time to look for it. | | | |

I got it a little wrong. It seems the club would have demanded a fee from another championship Club whereas he would be allowed to go for free overseas.

There's a few things that don't add up about the whole situation.
The fact that he apparently wanted a deal longer than June 2026 and would seek a fee to sell him domestically but said we would allow him to go abroad for free seemed to be a gentleman's agreement based on the service that he had given to us.
The fact he barely lasted five minutes in Kuwait before his contract was tore up and then he signed for a divisional rival on a free, which we otherwise would have got a fee for if he went directly there, does seem very co-incidental timing, that is for sure. I'm not saying that this was Sam's intention, just that it is what has happened.
Also strange is him agreeing a deal there until the end of the season, considering the fact that it was widely reported that he left us because he wanted a longer deal. As we know when Sam was leaving it was not he cleanest of exits and he was training alone and it did drag out a bit and it makes you wonder if things didn't end as well as they could have.
The club and McKenna have been in touch with him a lot though and I can't see that being the case if things were so bad between him and the club. I don't think this is a situation like with Woolfenden and the 'politics' comments that McKenna implied there was something we don't know about. [Post edited 2 Jan 23:37]

I don't think there is any big conspiracy. Kuwait didn't work out and he was left without a club for half a season. That wasn't to avoid another club having to pay a fee. |  |

From what KM's been saying Sam has been in regular contact, maybe with Ashton too either directly or indirectly. Knowing the situation I wouldn't be surprised if he got their blessing, regardless of any agreement originally. |  |

I'm not saying that there is any either to be honest, just that the whole series of events are just probably nothing more than a co-incidence but you can see why some people might think it looks a little odd. | |

Town didn't offer him another deal, his existing contract ran to the summer of 2026. |  | | |
