Shame it ended the way it did. Maybe one day he'll do an interview on why he didn't sign a new contract, I can only think it was money related as football wise you'd have thought he would have been keen to stay when the contract was offered as we were flying at the time and he was playing every week.
Bit surprised he's joined Rangers, although it's been rumoured for months. They're a massive club, but he's joining a league that is at best no better than the Championship. I never really get why English players want to leave the Championship and join Rangers, because I'd want to move to the PL not the SPL but maybe I'm being harsh in the SPL. Playing Champions League obviously a huge bonus for him. He did down tools last season after Christmas, that has to be said. His statistics may have said otherwise but we saw with of own eyes how his body language said he didn't want to be with us. He should have been sold in January, but presumably we couldn't get a decent replacement or thought it better to keep him then have him go and then struggle to find an adequate replacement, especially given the recruitment problems between Wilder and the board.
