Shocked he will dropped down a division, can certainly do more than a job at this level.
His wages here would have been inflated after the promotion season, and i would imagine this contract would have seen a significant drop. I imagine he could recoup some of that money by signing as a free agent for someone else, with a good signing on fee.
What a player he has been for us though. One of the best ever?
Matthew Connolly just tweeted a picture of Whits and some sad face emoticons. Emoticons don't lie.

Ah **** it... didn't even have a proper goodbye
A sad way to end his time with City.
For me it should have been announced before the Newcastle game that he was to leave end of the season, same as John Terry at Chelsea.
No problem taking him off on the hour but the least he could have done was not rushed him off in a double substitution!!
I think Whitts deserved much better than that. I know he wouldnt have wanted to take to the microphone after the game like Terry did but at least everyone would have known it was goodbye.
Will miss him , however my head says move on and say a big thanks, lovely loyal lad ,wish more footballers were like him
Thank you Whitts and good luck.City legend and a gentleman.
Gutted. My favourite city player for the last decade..
STATS: Peter Whittingham
457 games
96 goals
93 assists
4 or 5 times where he almost celebrated a goal
Legend.
I didnt go to the Newcastle game, however i thought that the Brentford game was a fitting send off for him. In my mind it was my goodbye to him as kind of knew i wouldnt be attending the 2 non-weekend games, and i knew his time was up at the club.
It was a game where he played a bit further forward, set up and scored a goal got taken off on 90 minutes, and got well applauded off.
In that respect i dont hold the bitterness towards his treatment as some who attended the following games.
End of an era. Truly a class act and a quality footballer.
