Isn’t there a rule, or has it been got rid of, where a club wanting to buy a young player, had to pay a transfer fee?
If not, there’s no point in giving a player a contract, because they can just leave when they want.
Is this cover for right now? In other words, we'd lose him for the play-offs.
Tbh, I can't see the club standing in the way of anyone getting a SL offer. Just the way it is.
Bradford play their final home game tonight, and have no chance of the Play-Offs, so I'd imagine it would be next season.

Not sure where this has come from - any ideas ?
What we have to realise, unless a Club has a rich Board, or Backer, then The Championship is a feeder comp for SL, and has been for a few years.
Examples;
JJ went to Cas 3 seasons ago on loan, as they were struggling at 9
Deon Cross to Salford
Dupree to Salford
If Connell moves to Bradford, then it's nothing new. It's the nature of the beast, sadly

I guess it all depends upon what piece of paper has been signed.
Could it be that given there is no money within the Club or the game, then is a 'Contract' actually considered legal or binding at this level?
Just a thought.
