    I did say my opinion is probably irrelevant as it will largely be a new starting 11. Just not my style is all

    Sorry mate. I said my reasoning for not being keen on Xhaka as skipper was not down to Neil. Your post read like reasons why Neil should not be captain, which were all fair enough.

    Fair enough mate. I am probably going to sound like I am dying in a ditch over Neil. I probably am. I doubt it was a sweetner myself. It just doesnt seem to be how KLD, Speakman and now Regis work. Everything seems to a very clear plan. We will probably never know.

    Tbh I hope Neil leaves. I have been to much in love with him and his ability. I would like to keep my memory of him leading us out at Wembley as our local captain and as big a fan as any of us. I am not daft, I know Xhaka is much better. I dont really want to see him coming on here and there, or plugging afcon gaps. Just hope he goes abroad really, Everton or West Ham would mean him lining up against us and I would rather that not happen.

    The minority have spoken and he would be better of leaving.

    He was soley blamed for slowing the whole team down on Saturday, he has that much influence he can make 10 other players slow down, yet doesnt influence the team to start or come off then bench.

    We all know where this ends up, so best he goes off and develops into a solid midfielder

    He’s an absolute arsehole but an excellent goalkeeper.

    I’m glad that

    1) The mags don’t get him
    2) It further weakens Burnley

    Neil will be off if he doesn't sign a contract, that's what it comes down to for me

    I wish the lad nothing but the best, I hope he stays but I agree with @FellTop id hate him to become a bit part players which I think he would become

    I'm a huge fan of Neil but once Xhaka signs I think he will struggle for game time

    If he does go he will go with nothing byt my best wishes

    It wont matter anyway if he doesnt sign a new contract which seems very likely that he wont

    To be fair it has absolutely nothing to do with the wishes of the supporters mate.

    He's a pro-player who's either not wanted or refusing to sign a new contract.

    Only he and the club know why, I just don't think he's doing himself any favours.

    He had the chance to sign a contract in the Championship but, in my opinion, thought he'd be given a much better one this season in the PL ...

    ... unfortunately he's now way down the pecking order and the club has overtaken him.

    If the new guys have a decent season and afcon then possibly sell one or two of those

    Age has little to do with it
