Feels like the end of a era - only Lascelles left from the Championship squad? (Think I read they did paid out Hayden't contract)

wouldnt be against him joining the academy in a coaching role, if thats the route he plans to take after finishing playing (whenever that is)

While it is 100% the correct decision, I do think its worth mentioning how much of a servant he has been for the club during his time up here, he was a really important in both the Championship season and the ones that followed post promotion, he has scored some really important goals (The winner against Man United comes to mind), and has always been really committed in everything he has done. He has also seemingly been one of the flag bearers behind the scenes, setting the standards in training and being a vocal voice in the leadership group since Howe arrived. While his legs went several years ago, its not his fault he's been getting contract renewals and that we've had to rely on him more then anyone wanted him to this season. He gets bonus points for calling Bruce a cunt too.

 

Farewell you radge Scottish Bastard :icon_salut:

In all seriousness, don’t have a bad thing to say about the guy. Consummate professional, team leader, and pretty decent player on his day. Hopefully we can get him a job on the coaching staff.

My favourite bit during his time here was the way he’d rough up anyone who scored a goal during a celebration 🙂 some class photos of even Mitro looking well put out.

 

And quite publicly calling Steve Bruce out for the tramp that he is.

Do you think he'll carry on playing or go into coaching? 

Defo end up coaching or managing.

One who did his part but stole a living for the last 2-3 seasons. Thanks for everything, quite happy to see him back in backroom capacity. £50k+ a week saved.

How do you know he was on that? The last few years he may of took a paycut.

Probably did, for the last year at least.
