Sean doesn’t usually leak information but if true I don’t blame him for wanting to talk as that can only improve his negotiating with Burnley to stay, but I suspect the personal benefit of being able to live with his family an hour away is a very significant factor in his thinking.
He will have to weigh that up with the prospect of maybe only being there for 4 months and of leaving a job half finished here and whatever we finally offer him to stay. Should we match the £2M for starters?
