TWF - you compare Utaka and Bullard, each of them on huge contracts, Bullard disliked by many, Utaka not so.
It goes without saying that anyone placed in their position would have signed the contracts put before them. The contracts are not their fault whether the clubs are being bled dry by them or not.
Utaka is a moderate player, Bullard is probably when on his game, one of if not, the best in the Championship. However that is only so when he has space and time to flourish. Any team worth their salt will place a man on Bullard and nullify him, a la Carsley for Coventry last season when Bullard hid all game.
The reason why Bullard is disliked by so many is due not to Adam Pearson, or anyone else other than Bullard himself.
1) getting pissed regularly in and around the town in which he carries out his trade.
2) his apparent couldn't give a f*ck attitude in games (penaly miss against Sunderland)
3) his apparent couldn't give a f*ck attitude to the supporters (actions in the lap of (dis) honour after last game at home in the Prem)
4) having flown him half way around the world (twice) to get his knees sorted and paid him to do so, and having paid him royally for the best part of three years, perhaps morally he owes us something - before you start it's fair to say as an employee one may expect his employer to look after him this way, and I would agree therefore that 4 is not the poor little darlings fault.
He bad mouths City at every opportunity. We're best shut of him.
You however may want to continue to swallow the guff about how bad we are treating him, especially that trotted out regularly by his mates at Sky.
