Re: Birmingham City face difficult John Ruddy call after missing out on ideal transfer
newblueThe influence that decides this is I reckon the one on his bank balance. Suppose he might be offered some prospect of some coaching or similar. I don’t think it’s any different to 99% of footballers certainly at the stage of his career. No point in being disappointed.
Particularly since we don't know what conversations he has had with Blues - they might have been clear they were very happy for him to go if offered enough, to allow them to land a long term alternative now, while he might have been happy to stay if the club offered him the same length of deal as Luton.
This time next week we might be ecstatic he went because of who we replaced him with, and all footballers know that is how loyalty works in football.
