Is he not out of contract again? I thought he only signed a 1 year deal.
Aye, he's out of contract this summer.
Great, he's probably being lined up for a triumphant return. A CM pairing of Barton and Colback, shoot me now.
Fair enough if they don't want promotion and to continue on their downward spiral.
Even they must realise it is not working and there needs to be radical changes.
I think they genuinely believe it'll be just as easy to come back up this time as it was in 2009-10. And they're sorely fucking mistaken if that's the case.

@woodhousecurtis Newcastle fans demanded Pardew sacked and money spent. Ashley did exactly what they wanted and now it's his fault?
BoredTom won't be so bored when I strangle the life from his body.
Last time we were relegated, Burton had just won promotion to League Two. And they're just a season removed from that division. Fucking good on them, hope they dick everyone on their way to the Premier League next year.
Championship. Howay man
If I had a CV like this, I'd be down for a challenge like us. A chance to pull a storied club back to its feet while reigniting the passion of an entire city. Hell of a fucking story that would be.
That's just me though.
I'm not! I should've probably said one "good" player. Or one player from the PL. Or one exceptionally well known player. Not just "1 player"
was ready to bring the walls down with names like Zat Knight and Nigel Reo-Coker
I never said he would! Just that there are other reasons he might consider a move for less money than he'd get elsewhere. How much a hit he'd be willing to take is a different question. Though I'm sure there are plenty of ways for MLS clubs to work their way through the swirling morass that is the MLS salary cap system to pay him enough without giving up a DP slot. Nigel de Jong is somehow not a DP despite making a fair bit of coon. Cole neither.
Anyway, my original point was just that I don't think clubs should be throwing DP money at him. I don't think he's worth it. If he doesn't come to MLS because of it, whatever.
