He's worthless that's why. Might as well get his wages off the books.
Not if the new manager wants him
His value is zero. You asked why Ashley doesn't sell him, the answer is he's worth nothing. Out of contract in the summer, clubs abroad can talk to him now, hasn't played regularly for almost a year and has serious question marks over his mental state.
Giving him away is about the best when can hope for, we may even have to pay part of his wages to get the move away.
Isn't like.
