WE WROTE: Shay Given heading back to Aston Villa after failing to extend loan deal YOU SAID : Take a pay cut if you want to stay here a while longer and play regular football Shay. It's not as if you can't afford it. Train all week and not be involved on match days, or come here and play the game you love for less money. If you want to stay at the Boro for the rest of the season like you said, then what's the problem. Or isn't it as simple as that? - Ron Pipe If he's contracted to his parent club for 50 grand per week, even sitting on the bench, he may be unable to take a cut without putting his contract in jeopardy. Player contracts are very complex indeed. - Dante Rossetti Unfortunately Ron, it's always about money! Disappointed he's going. - keenap
