NUFC fans not happy as Jack Colback uses unbelievable excuse to 'turn down' Championship club

According to the Guardian today, Jack Colback has rejected a deadline day move to Championship side Hully City as it's 'too far down south' for the Geordie midfielder.

Colback hasn't made a single matchday squad all season, with Rafa Benitez banishing the 28-year-old to the reserves - also denying him a place in the club's squad photo last year.

With this and his £40,000 wages in mind, the club are clearly looking to move him on today, however the Guardian have revealed that he's not willing to sign for Hull for 'geographical reasons' - with him alleged to have said it's 'too far down south' (despite it being in the top half of Yorkshire..).

Now, one thing I will say is this. While it's a little cheeky of him to sit on £40,000 a week and do sod all behind the scenes, it was the club that offered him this length of contract and these fairly heft wages. We might not appreciate it, but he technically has the right to turn down moves if he prefers to see out his contract and get paid to do very little up here.

That being said, he's doing very little for his career in sitting on the sidelines and taking his pay packet, opposed to playing week in week out for a Championship side like he should be.

Lee Ryder has since confirmed that NUFC are keen to get him off the wage bill, with Nottingham Forest the latest club to be offered him. Don't hold your breath though, he'll think that's in France if he reckons Hull is 'down south':
