Nice bloke and all but why did Starnes give him a new contract in the first place?

Sounds like Rodders signed a duff deal & can’t get fit in order to improve it. 22 games in 2 seasons is criminal, fortunately he’s on said naff contract otherwise he’d still be a drain on the budget like last season. Almost echoes the Kyle Bennett situation.
As said above, get fit or get the fu.. out. This ain’t no charity case

Surely any contract at present is a good one given that he's not fit and it sounds like he may never return to fitness? It's always been a bit of a mystery why he got a contract extension. Given he seems to have business links outside of football why doesn't he just call it a day? |

Bad deal for both really then, although better for Rodman as he still gets a wage but we aren't getting any benefit on the pitch

A bit surprised he hasn't been offered a coaching role as he seems like an intelligent guy.
Maybe it's not something he's interested in or JB doesn't think he'd add anything to his existing staff.
I very much doubt he'll be part of the squad we have to submit by the end of August.

Think rodders will have big decision to make soon. From what joey says he is now on peanuts, so if he can't get fit and force his way in has to weigh up if the low salary is worth it.
As much as he is being paid to not play and could sit on that contract, he is a smart guy and has to weigh up whether spending x number of hours training and building fitness for little pay is going to earn him more than using those same hours to spend extra time on his other business ventures. Working full time on these could yield more returns.
Much probably depends on how much love he has for the game still and if the pain and frustration of getting fit and maybe months of non playing time is worth it. He is in a different position to most players his age who would have the panic of having no career once stop playing....

I like Rodders as a player and met him a few times to know he is a decent bloke, but I do think its a bit 'off' when he isnt happy with his current contract despite hardly ever contributing on the pitch

Get the impression Joey likes him but trying to get the message that he wants him to move on as best for all parties.

While I agree with Joey Barton, this should be done behind closed doors.
It shows a lack of class on his part.

The guy has been with us for years and I've rarely seen him play due to his constant injury problems. If you were a owner of a company would you want to pay someone's wages for a member of staff who never actually worked for you? |
