Explanation...

There was no pressure to sell (this month anyway, summer’s another matter).

Bid comes in from Huddersfield.

Pritchard becomes aware of this. Wants to go, quite understandably – Premier League team who look set to be there again next year, higher wages, NCFC further away from the top flight then when he joined.

Club now has to make best of bad situation and takes the certainty of the cash now.
