Getting rid of Burke will cost us

Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:34 pm

The decision by DJ not to renew Burkes contract (or the decision by the board not to get rid of DJ earlier) will bite us on the arse. He is one of Brum's top players this season and had he been in our squad we'd be in a much stronger position. Scored 1 tonight and set others up as he has done all season.

Wanted a reported 30k a week - worth about 12k

If that is true then we were right to say no. I thought he was on 9/10k with us.

I agree hes well missed and could have done a job for MM for the people slagging him off this is how it is.Chris had already signed for brum in a pre-contract agreements before we tryed to offer him a new deal so he was never staying with us anyway but because we waited and waited and then stalled some more things like this happen who wouldnt when u got 3months left on a contract and wondering whats going on with your future,you can not blame him because who wants to warm the bench even when DJ used him from the start he would get MOM some games,then DJ would take him off with 15mins to go. :lol:

I think he was but he wanted a large pay rise. I would bet Conway and Cowie cost less a week than what Burke reportedly asked for.
