Ex-Leeds United star Alan Smith told he can leave Newcastle United
Former Leeds United star Alan Smith has been told he can leave Newcastle United as he enters the final year of his contract.Smith was signed for £6 million from Manchester United by then manager Sam Allardyce during the summer of 2007, and although he was a key figure as the Magpies fought their way back into the Premier League, his chances last season were severely limited by a nasty ankle injury.In addition, he is among the biggest earners at St James’ and with owner Mike Ashley seeking to control expenditure on wages, his departure has become almost inevitable.The news is once again bound to spark rumour and debate among Leeds fans as to whether he would be welcome back at the club and in fact if Simon Grayson would be interested in bring him home.One problem if Grayson was interested could be the players wage demands.
