Why try and spin it in to cost cutting?
He's shit, we should never have signed him anyway, he's 33, it's a no brainer and IMO a simple football decision
I would sell Baker or Clark before Lescott. He put a good performance in last game ( 1st time for everything. ) So yeah selling Lescott might be good if we are getting money for him but don't expect it to be put back into a replacement. Expect more fun and games from calamity Clark and Rubbish Richards!
Like i said the club know we are down so selling him now makes more business sense.
