The thing with KDT I think is he knows nobody will sign him so he won’t take a pay off and his agent can still tout him as a current league 2 player
Someone mentioned last week that he’s already played for 2 clubs this season so he might not be able to sign for a third one until next season anyway.
Also, if we just pay up his contract, we don’t save any money and therefore releasing him wouldn’t free up any space for additional wages under the embargo.
