What I meant was West Ham have been poor under Potter who is going a worse job than the previous manager. Palace would be a good option as they have good reputation for developing players .
If a player wants to run down is contract he can. Don't see how it can be " criminal". OH was bought in in on a free. Look at the right back at Liverpool going to Real Madrid. It happens and will continue to happen.
Bristol City were lucky Blackburn didn't score a winner. Just watching the Bradford and Walsall games. Walsall were top at Xmas with 12 point lead and now currently 4 th .
Wasn't that also the season when Boro basically decided without permission to b) say they were not turning up for game because they had too many injuries and were deducted points ?
