When is Wayne Routledge Coming? on 20:26 - Nov 5 by danehoop
Money
No. The fact we didn't offer the money to buy him from his parent club was the reason.
Warnock had him, Danny Graham and Ashley Williams all lined up to sign with us in that close season and Briatore wouldn't stump up the transfer fees. Ended up with SWP, Gabbidon and Bothroyd. The bargain basement, ie. On frees, equivalents.
Wasn't down to Routledge.
Would have him back in a flash, if it was possible.

Spoke to him at the POTY awards at the end of the promotion season and he was certain he was joining back from Newcastle and was looking forward to playing for us in the Prem. But Ecclestone wouldn't put any cash in. Hence he went to Swansea instead. Always think that he was unlucky not to be called up by England, very good footballer with an end product. Would love to see him back at LR. Would link up well with either Austin or JET.
