My take is that wilder has bluffed and essentially had his bluff called.

Argos management has said basically said “alright, sit out if you want but you’re still under contract” while JWJ had expected his request to just be granted and over with.

Now he finds himself in a bit of a bind having obviously great incentive NOT to sit out the year as most here have mentioned and I too, wouldn’t be shocked to see him back in the fold next year. However if not, I wish him well – he’s just trying to do what’s best for him and his family and just may not have gone about it in the best way.Such is life.I have no dog in the fight as far as wilder is considered, would love to have him back but if not, good luck young man.

Like someone else already mentioned, butler on the other hand…. “see ya”
