Because the current manager is a cunt?Why let the next manager decide, why not the current manager? Seems a strange way to do things.
Perhaps a non-cuntish manager will take a different approach with a 24 yr old who has been twice voted the PFA Young Player of the Year, was a first choice for his country at 22 and achieved goals/assists numbers that match any top young player in recent memory.
Maybe, just maybe, Levy sees the bigger picture here.
