Hardly letting them go if we offered them a contract and they walk. 
yes it is
a) we did not sign said player before contract ran out = didnt do enough to keep player x
b) didnt offer enough money as opposed to another club = = didnt do enough to keep player x
not not offer them a contract in general, or a not good enough contract, if the club thinks they got the good - is pee poor list management.
