    Regardless of the politics behind it that was a big missed opportunity to bring in some serious cash for a player who is no more than average at best .
    Yes you can say they did the right thing by the player which is highly commendable but sometimes in life and particularly in business you have to have that ruthless streak, that streak or lack of it also has a lot to do with the fact we have won one league cup in 25 years .
    If we get a similar offer from down south in the next window then fair enough but I don’t think we’ll see an offer like that again .

    Anyway if Newcastle come in for him let’s just get rid this time and make a bit of cash in the process.

    He shouldn’t have had the chance to turn it down,I think that’s the point some people are trying to make.

    If he was told it was too good an offer to turn down and the club needed the money he wouldn’t be here.

    Its funny to see him getting slated on here once again. I'm not one for saying I told you all so, but I did
    He was rank fkn rotten when we signed him, still fkn is and always fkn will be.

    But hey ho what do i know.

    We might even make a profit, our 20k back and a six pack of pickled onion flavor monster munch and we're on to a winner.
    Surely Steve Bruce is not that stupid, is he. I live in hope.

    Bang on the money ......pleading impending financial doom one minute but letting that chance go by us doesn’t make any sense

    So the club just breaks Employment Law, tears up an agreed contract, ignores the protection that hard-won freedom of contract allowed players after a century of exploitation, and gives a not-very-good fitba player grounds for indefensible legal action? Farage or Trump would commission statues of you boys.

    Thatcher would be so proud of her grandchildren, but she's deid, and although giving death the odd roon-the-corner sideways glance at my age, I'm nae. Yet. Me 1 That **** 0.

    Our Team is more in common with Labourites .

    Incompetent chancers , impossible to shift out & spending most of their time on sick leave.

    Yet, all the while, respecting workers’ rights, and legally-underwritten freedom of contract. ****ing commie *******s, eh? COYR.

    What’s a “Labourite”, and why is this being brought in to a series of fallacious statements about the legal obligations of clubs to respect human and employment rights, significant indicators of semi-civilisation in an increasingly reactionary world?

    The 6 pack of monster munch would be enough to convince me to let him go at the moment.
