Burnley's Caldwell upset contract wasn't extended

Soccer Betting Lines

05/04/2010 - Burnley, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Burnley skipper Steven Caldwell has admitted to being disappointed at not being offered a new contract by the relegated Turf Moor club.

The 29-year-old central defender joined Burnley in January 2007 from Sunderland, but is out of contract this summer, having suffered a number of injury problems as his side have failed to survive in the Premier League.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "I've never been offered a contract, so it's out of my hands. That's life, sometimes things change and you move on to a different challenge.

"I'll just go about my business and work hard. It's never really happened, people speaking to me and obviously I've been injured for a while, which has maybe been taken into consideration.

"I'm always willing to listen, but I'm a little disappointed it hasn't come so far.

"Things change and people move on, if it had come a little earlier, I think I would have been interested to listen and see what is said.

"I've been a prominent feature in the team for three-and-a-half years though and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Burnley. It's a fantastic club and we've achieved unbelievable things.

"Sometimes clubs seek different routes and people move on and I'm open to challenges. If nothing's been said so far, maybe we have to move on."

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore.
