So the overwhelming opinion on how this is at the moment - courtesy of various newspaper articles and social media quotes from people in and around the club.
- The club want Darije to go.
- The club have in his deal that if they don't make the six he can get the archer
- Darije wants to be paid. If they don't make the six he will be paid the next 6 weeks and chopped (assumption).
- The club have been trying to work out a deal to get him out right away but he went public while they were talking.
- If they make the six Darije would be entitled to a larger severance package as his contract does not end at the end of the season in that circumstance.
- Darije is being stubborn and holding out to be paid more than the next 6 weeks of pay based on the fact a miracle would mean he has a deal for next season.
- The club are betting we won't top six.
- Darije has been told not to turn up at work and can pack as soon as the 6th is mathematically out of reach.
- The players are likely to be celebrating at this last point.
I think that's it. Conjecture but if you troll through all the comment has reasonable standing. Would pass a politifact audit.
