Why would anybody be interested in signing TL at the moment.

He has not been one of the outstanding performers for the Alex (unlike Wintle), with even people on this site disagreeing over whether he should even be in the first team.

Also he is under contract and so any move would involve a fee, there are literally hundreds of players out there who are out of contract and so would cost alot less than Tom.

I do not see any way out of this one for him without alot of grovelling, firstly to management and then to the fans. It would be interesting to see/hear his reception if he played again.
