Contract expires July 1st.


We lost the opportunity to use our option on him... and we're currently still in negotiations with him.

Cant see him staying.

He is extremely upset with the club after Hughton informed him he would be required to play football occasionally next season. Mcfadden said " I'ts simply outrageous. The club know full well, that apart from the odd game for Scotland: I am not prepared to get involved with football for a piddling £1m per year. I'm off "

A friend of a friends neighbours dogs previous owners cousin of mine bumped into him recently, he was very polite but when asked if he was going to stay at the blues his reply was "no way, you are joking!".

His reply is genuine, the source of the information may be exagerated though!

He said the same thing to someone who called up Tom Ross. ;)

It's called sick pay. You get injured at work and if you have a good contract you get sick pay. If you,ve got a rubbish contract or are self employed you get zilch.

We are trying to negotiate a lower wage, but he has rejected all offers so far. I doubt he will stay but he does not seem to have any suitors so he might end up with no club at all unless he lowers his wage demands.

Before you all moan about young James, remember the last time McJudas took us down, he stayed with us and was very important in getting us back up......not like Gardner, (who everybody here seemed to love)(not me)...............
No I thought he was a poor player,very average, but would do ok in the Championship................If Jordan much aint any better than Gardner, he might as well give up. Don't tell me Bruce knows a good player, remember some of the sh17e the signed for us.
I hope McFadden does stay, but doubt we could afford him. If only he hadn't got injured we would be in the Prem now.

He's available for a free transfer should anyone want him until his contract finishes (July 1st?). Then he'll be off.

Taking up an option on James M would have been relevant to his wages.

I doubt that we could enforce an option on 'half wages' for the Championship. The option would have (imo) have been based on current or improved wages. Which would have been outrageous.

His home went on the market 3 months ago apparently (there's a thread or picture of it, somewhere on this forum :D )
So I would imagine both himself and his manager recognised his future intentions.
Many of us didn't, but then, we're bluenoses. We trust everybody.

It's called sick pay. You get injured at work and if you have a good contract you get sick pay. If you,ve got a rubbish contract or are self employed you get zilch.

Oguchi Onyewu, the American defender, whilst at Inter Milan - and having been injured for a whole season whilst being paid - took the decision to refuse a wage from Milan for the following season due to feeling that he'd let the club down by taking a wage he hadn't earnt.

Now THAT is how football, with it's inflated wages, should work.

I thought James McFadden had been released. But in the updated squad page on the blues site he is still on there.

Technically he's out of contract with Blues, but we're negotiating to try and get him to stay according to Tatts.

Yeah, if he could stay off the treatment table, he'd be a big player for us.

However, I fear that a combination of his injury record, comparatively high wages and the emergence of Beausejour/Redmond as options down the left wing will see him out the door.
