Is this believable? Surely a more probable scenario is that no offers have come in and the players want to save face, as stated above Butterfield’s wage could be a problem. Consider Wilson’s behaviour at the end of last season, is it likely that he turned down offers from “a lot higher” to stay here? Young players don’t normally lack ambition.
