    it's simple, he chooses to leave or he chooses to stay, there's nowt we can do other than make sure he disappears off the radar completely if he decides to stay, in the off hope he breaks in Jan to try and save his career. If he stays out his contract to the end and we block him out successfully, he'll be lucky to get a 5k a week at his next club.

    I think his injury (feigned) record and attitude have probably ensured he won't get a next club mate, who would want a tosser like that. I read an article on MSN the other day about the biggest EPL Transfer Flops and he was in there.

    3 interested in Janurary. We should be able to leave him clubless in a years time if he's going to be a **** about it

    Find out where he lives then do a mock protest outside his gaff, with “Rodders for England” banners and songs into the night/early hours.

    Followed by the “You’re a ****...” ditty. Humiliate the ****-bag.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the impression that some of you have a slight dislike of Jack Rodwell :emoticon-0100-smile

    I get my satisfaction from knowing that his behaviour at our club has ensured that this leech never sees top flight football again.

    He is the architect of his own downfall, so he has no one but himself to blame for his career ending up in the bin. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    He's not bothered about his career though. If he was, he might feel inclined to try playing a game of football from time to time
    He's only bothered about money, and he's getting plenty of that

    I view this differently to most about this parasite, seemingly.

    Most seem to think that his career is over, or will be when his contract runs out or we pay him off earlier, but I think that when the time comes somebody will take him 'on trial' at a club that's higher up the leagues than we are, and he could well prove himself to be capable at that higher level :emoticon-0112-wonde

    He's only 27 now, and will only be 28 this time next year when we'll be rid of him, and we'd be even more disgusted if that did happen, but I consider that to be a real possibility . . . . the ****ing parasitic twat :undecided:

    Aye. I can see him grabbing as much money as he can now cos he knows that in over 12 months time his most optimistic option would be playing for a mid/lower mid table championship team for peanuts.

    I hope he goes to a league one side so we can properly vent our feelings at him.

    He's probably good enough for a low end championship side but would they take him? Not if they've got any sense.

    He seems to have had a reputation for excessive use of the physio's bench long before we bought him so I don't see him ever commanding a big salary again.

    He'd be just too big a risk.

    He's a yesterday man now, there are far better, younger options around for the PL teams to consider.

    He’ll end up in China, MLS or Qatar - Agent will convince someone it wasn’t his fault he was mainly pony when he managed a game for citeh or us, he was great at Everton. With no transfer fee he’ll get a decent wage somewhere.

    If that is true then a 'random' drugs test and instant dismissal would solve the problem.

    Agreed. There is no way he will be considered to be physically up to competing in a domestic league

    Still find it strange that both we fans and our club are more interested in lamenting our situation and his greed and lack of ethics. SAFC SHOULD have and should still be pro-active in making him to uncomfortable to stay. I am sure other industries would have legally quit themselves of such an employee.

    Not an employee unfortunately - contractual obligations are totally different to employee obligations. If I decided I didn't want to play any part in the main business of my employer but am happy to sit in the background and do as little as possible, I'd be sacked. He will be fulfilling each contractual obligation that he has in order to receive his salary and has stated that he doesn't want to play for us - but he will keep taking money and doing what he needs to. We can't sack him as he hasn't broken any rules (see Adam Johnson) but, if what cColeman said was true (about him not wanting to play) then surely we can fine him?

    Gordon Taylor will no doubt back him to the hilt and say it's the club's fault!

    Save on his fr:gging wages if they had managed to make his workplace intolerable a year ago. Something I’m sure could have been.
