Agreed. I eagerly await Warnock's explanation of why Clayton isn't good enough to stay but Brown is not only good enough to be kept on but deserves an improved contract (!). I wonder whether Bates told Warnock he had to put one or two sellable assets in the "to go" list to help fund all the incoming players, and Clayton drew the short straw.
I also wonder about Bromby. Do you think we're just keeping him because we have to now as he's crocked? I feel sorry for Nunez. He never really got a chance. He'll score goals for someone. Cheers!
