‘ But I signed a contract, and I expect the clubs to honor that contract. And I know circumstances have changed and, I repeat: I’m talking about the clubs that have money available to them.

‘I’ve had discussions when I was at Nottingham Forest; I was literally on the same money for two years, I got a pay rise and I was told I was greedy.

‘I went to Man United. Man United discussed with me they couldn’t match Blackburn Rovers. Man United couldn’t match Blackburn Rovers? Can you believe that?
