This doesn’t mean he is leaving, just that he has rejected the contract put on front of him. I imagine with Watt’s inconsistency over the years at different clubs, he is not currently being paid as much as he thinks he is worth now. He probably has more bargaining power than he has had since he was the kid who scored against Barcelona and may just think he can get a bit more at this point.
What ever happens now (no pun intended), I hope he continues to realise his enormous talent as he has been doing this season. At is best he is a joy to watch playing the beautiful game.
This x 1000.
Watt will not be leaving Motherwell. All that's happened is that he's rejected their offer of a new contract. Happens all the time. As above he's probably just looking for more money. He's settled back in Scotland & wont be leaving to become a bit part player somewhere else.
Why is it that posters always want us to sign ex players. Happens every transfer window. Does my nut in.
the current reason we want to sign ex players is cos we are playing and positioned in our shittiest position in our history having spent previous years in better positions so basically we have always been better and want to bring the good times back . we were never craving for players to come back in the prem years cos we were at the other end of the scale
Tony would have to go on one of his mazy runs around the Dan Pelchen algorithm, the black box, Roddy's cabal, TS and Jacko if he wanted to sign for Charlton.
I think he'd run out of puff long before Jacko gave him the nod.
He might be worth a January bid now that he seems to have sorted his life out.
But I think that is the problem. He seems settled in Scotland, near friends and family, familiar surroundings. He leaves and goes to say, Reading, he’d probably fall apart again. He’s doing well, playing every week, earning a decent wage, why put that in jeopardy?
This is what i assume is the problem. He would probably earn far more than his current salary by playing south of the border.

Better he stays where he is if he's happy - money isn't everything.
Alexander added: "We can't really compete with a Championship club, or even League One, and some League Two clubs - in fact, a couple of National League clubs, which we've lost players to in the summer.
I know the finances in football are uneven at the moment, but that's ridiculous
The sky tv deal for Scotland is 25m a season over 5 years (so about 2m per club). Motherwell's average crowd this season is just under 6k. 3 teams in the National league have higher averages than that, so it's not hard to see why Scottish sides outside the Old Firm struggle.
If this site is even close to being accurate it's not hard to see why Watt would be considering any offers from English clubs.

True it isn't but it certainly has more weight in a decision when you probably only have 7-8 years of your career left.
If the figure in the link is true, then there will be some posters on this forum who earn more than Watt. And he will likely be retired by 35.

If the salary is way more then fair point - surprised at what he is on.
Great interview with Tony in the latest edition of My Only Desire. He really loved it here it seems, despite some pretty shabby treatment from the club (Katrien).

Was her shabby treatment his excuse for one of the most abject performances ever by a Charlton player away to Northampton?

Mate, that’s a tough contest.
It’s got Carl Jenkinson’s performance at Dag & Red in it !
