If you go public and it's known he's knocked us back it's not good for the reputation of the club. Makes sense to go after players you think you've a chance if getting IMO.

But if fit would he come to us for pennies compared to his previous deals? If the answer to both of these is yes, he would be a massive improvement at LB !

It depends what’s more important to him. One last big pay check, or one last shot at getting some game time before retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends if his wife is up for moving to Scotland or wherever he can get a game too. He may also go into coaching or some other role instead . . . all depends on how he thinks he is fitness and mentality wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, considering he thought Middlesbrough was too far, I’d say answer 2 is the right one. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-hutton-reveals-reason-behind-16985183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS it further than Oran travelled ? Yes we should believe everything we read in a Website or Newspaper ... Let's see IF he signs for anyone or no-one?

Comparing a PE teacher to someone who’s earned thousands per week for a number of years is quite a leap. not sure why you are staunchly defending the idea of him coming 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us believe that it is highly unlikely. Nevertheless, stranger things have happened (e.g. Guys like Victor). Personally I see a need for a LB. IF Hutton was fit and willing to come to us on our wage scale, he would most likely be a clear improvement in that position. I don't think it matters whether Hutton was on £40k a week and Oran was on £80k a year - the former is in his twilight playing wise and not going to manage to get a deal with anything near his previous player's annual wages, while Oran could have a longer career in management ahead (when his kids are more grown up etc.) What matters is that one is bringing in a wage for his family and the other is not at present - surely something he will want to rectify? By the way I only compared them on distance to travel for their work if Hutton took a job at Middlesbrough - but nice deflection! It seems to me here the issue for many of our fans is his past link to Sevco - I hate them, but Hodson was a good player for us, so that is what matters to me. I hate the other ugly sister too, but if Morgan came back, I would not be miffed about that either. (I think this is also highly unlikely in the near future at least) So what's your beef?
