He's injured (I think).... I think he's also out of contract .. and with the rumoured signing of Paul McNally he maybe outta there

Yup rumpur Kenny not resigning him as needs to cut down squad from 25 to 18 fulltime players.

Avery didn't feature regularly up to the final, he has been carrying an injury but he doesn't seem to be featuring in Kennys plans for the "new dawn". A lot has been made of the fact that Johns got himself a new agent who seems to filling him with visions of grandeur which Stephen really doesn't appreciate...

I can appreciate stephen or any manager for that matter not negotiating with agents, They should be able to have a pfai representitive at negotiations, but agents are bad news which could lead to players being very difficult to deal with

True, I dont really think that the league is ready for the dawn of the agent yet. However, its going to be a fact of life pretty soon, as clubs can afford to pay pro wages to increasing numbers of players. I suppose its something that clubs and managers will just have to get used to whether they like it or not.
