This is why we never get anywhere as a club: "let's hand another contract to a 35 year old. He's a 'good lad'."

FFS, are we serious about every getting back to the top? Would any CL spot chasing club be seriously contemplating making do and mend in a postion or would they be looking to have class in strength in every position?

I'd rather go out and get that LB kid from Hearts - 17 years old and head and shoulders above Baines even now.
It's true there's no time for sentimentality in top flight football. But you must understand the critical role Baines played in exposing Martinez' fraudulent regime to the fanbase - so it is understandable that Blues want the best for Leighton Baines. We could so easily be kicking off next Saturday against Lincoln City if Baines hadn't stood up for the integrity of the club and forced Roberto Wormtongue out.

The man was a great footballer and shone the sunlight of disinfectant onto a rotten manager. I can't be critical of Blues being a bit soft over giving him an extra year at this stage. Don't forget, that sort of Leadership never goes amiss in the dressing room.
