How much can you get wrong in one post.
He did want to stay, but you me no one on here knows what went on. I wouldnt give him a 3 year deal. Someone else did. I'd take it if i was him. He'll have been telling his agent to see what deals are out there for months, again a wise move and what i would have done in his shoes. He wanted one last deal. Again you me anyone else off here doesnt know how fit he is, he was injured a lot. We dont know if Lenihan can step up but he never will with Rosey here on a 3 yr deal. You bang on about youth never coming through, for it to do you have to release older players.
Did AB get 3 years? I doubt it. Do you think rosey or Mcshane would say i love it here that much that I'm prepared to to be paid a grand a week for 3 years I'm that desperate to stay? No would they ****. Bruce is our manager, he's made his mind up and what else is there to do but back him?
This was Steve Bruce, not the Allams. He's in charge of all playing activity, who goes who stays is his domain.
At the end of the day he's just a player. I really dont give a **** who goes or stays. I dont have favourites, apart from Jelavic obviously. And he's going, most likely. Which is **** but a fact of life.
