A few questions spring to mind.
To take up the option do the club have to continue to pay him the same wages as he received in the Championship? I would have thought his contract could have easily included an option for a further year together with the proviso that his wages decreased in the event of relegation, but perhaps that's not possible?
The 'tiser says the club have made him a new offer but he's not yet accepted it. Presumably then that is outside the terms of the "option"
If he's not contracted to us for another year (either by club's option or him accepting different terms) that would mean that he would be a free agent and we would get nothing for him.
As the club's record signing (thought to be £500k) you would expect him to have been a top earner at the club. Assuming we get nowt for him has he been a good signing (by he who shall not be named) or a bad one?
