it couldn’t of ended any better!
Is this how you want people to remember you Alan? Tsk!

He is Scottish.  For that to be the only mistake is quite the achievement!

Good servant to the club through some incredibly turbulent times. Best of luck to him.

A good servant who was very well rewarded for being very poor, in the main.

Oh, sod off. He wasn't very poor in the main. I'll miss Hutton. He came here as just another player and he left as One Of Us.

Bullshit. He was a liability for most of his time with us. I'm sure he's a great guy and was here for years, but it doesn't alter the fact that he is a very limited player.

In the top division he was caught out of position all the time. He lunged in, missed or got booked. In the Championship he was better and I think had his best season when playing alongside Terry, who could lead and guide him. He was alps great in the play-off semi last season and played Traore out of the match.

He tried really hard, was professional throughout, became one of us and for that we should be thankful and respectful.

I hope that he comes back one day as an ambassador or similar.

Oh and he scored, THAT goal.

He was very average but if we'd had more players who were average in the years before we went down we might not have been relegated.

His work ethic was clearly his strongest trait and you generally knew what you were getting from him - he rarely had a shocker in the same way he was never close to being man of the match.  He was also treated dreadfully by Lambert and not once did he slag the club off in public.

He's not good enough for the Prem so it's right we move him on but to say he was a liability is completely off the mark.

He wasn't very poor in the main and to say that is just churlish.  We all know his limtations and he was no world beater.  But he was consistently a decent reliable performer for us, particularly in the Championship years.  Saying he was 'very poor' is uncecessarily unkind to a very decent servant to the club.
