Nothing will convince me that the best way to move on players you don't want any more is to ostracise them and make them train with the under 12s.

The article in the Mail is typical mumbo jumbo. Why does Lambert have to speak in riddles? 'Nothing to do with football', then why not play him? There have been numerous occasions that he could have played, despite Hutton being scapegoat no.1, even to people who have probably never seen him play.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a poor player, I really do.However, given that our only other non-out-of-position option there until just lately, Lowton, was also pretty poor for much of the time, and given we've spent the last 18 months or however long we've been pretending Hutton doesn't exist, paying him 40k a week anyway, perhaps it might have made sense to include him in the squad?
re the wage bill, I genuinely do think a few people are being over optimistic if they think once Hutton is gone we're going to go on a wages spree again.It's clearly an issue still.
I think all this proves that we wont be going after players who command large weekly salaries for the considerable future
Yet another reason for detesting the modern game - someone getting paid £40k per week for doing sweet FA . I would hazard a guess that the amount is more than most, posting on here, earn in a year. Its madness and makes no sense whatsoever. Doesn`t paint much of a picture of Lerner being an astute businessman.Still, Hutton is just another dud in a whole catalogue of poor signings over the years - I suppose all clubs suffer the same fate - it just seems like we make more gaffes than most .... Curcic, Balaban for example,

As others have said, Hutton is a liability, most of his tackles look more like common assault, horrible one dimensional footballer.
Maybe Hutton only gets his £40k a week when he is playing for the 1st teamI remember listening to a football agent who said that players only got there full salaries if they are in 1st team etc....
