“Badly treated” often means not offered a over the odds contract out of ‘loyalty’ and time served.

I’ve seen people slate the club for not offering sol a contract even though he’s expressed interest to play (I don’t see him getting game time here)

It’s my assumption that it went along the lines of;

Bennett offered heavily reduced contract
Bennett declined
Ready to sign one last contract elsewhere
Gets injured
Interested party pulls out
Now has to prove fitness to get something
