Plus they benefit from a wage saving on a player that doesn't fit in Warnocks plan.

Do me a favour Wayne!
Its another in a long list of signings where we have just thrown good money down the drain.

So would you rather we kept him on our books for the rest of his contract ? Also, niot many would have argued against signing him based on last year's form, it just hasn't happened for his this season.
As previously said, good decision for club and player.

How is it a good decision for the Club, if he wasn't wanted he should have been transfer listed and a fee sort, its terrible business and an awful decision.

He wasn't blowing Holland away in performances he did well here then didn't turn up - I'd guess that the £2m "paid" was made up of all sorts of clauses and disguised as £2m in an attempt to hoodwink us into thinking we'd actually spent money during the summer transfer window.
We probably haven't forked out a lot for him in order for us to let him leave for nothing 6 months down the line.
I agree the biggest saving is wages - if he's on £7-10k a week plus a potential £12k saved whittling down the u23s then there is the smart move - if we can then reinvest £20k a week in 4 decent signings we've done good business

But the transfer fee, if any, isn't the only thing to worry about.
I'd guess he was on about £12K per week, he has another 18+ months on his contract. If we couldn't get anyone to pay a fee for him (and why would they seeing as he's hardly played for 4 months ?) that contract would cost £864K, are you serioulosy saying that he would command even half that in a transfer fee ?
Sometimes clubs have to take the business option, this frees up a pretty good wage and will enable us to get another player in whilst working within FFP rules.
If we had turned down any offers, or there had been any interest in the player, then it would be a poor decision but Warnock has to free up money now to enable him to bring other players in, he can't gamble on waiting until the end of the window to get rid of players as it would be too late to get replacements in. It's perfectly sensible and pragmatic.

20k a week on 4 decent signings? at 5k a week?
