Just 55 days since Tyreeq Bakinson was granted a contract extension in the same week he marked his 50th appearance for Bristol City with the winning goal against Stoke City, the midfielder has more than likely played his last game for the club and it’s hard to think of a more acrimonious split between player and club in recent years.
What originally seemed an innocuous loan move soon snowballed into something far larger with Nigel Pearson’s damning words laying bare the sentiment from management, while the club’s position was made clear over the modest 61 words dedicated to confirmation of the switch.
Granted it is only a temporary transfer and he remains a City player, but at least Sam Bell and Ryley Towler were afforded “good luck” messages, Bakinson’s statement concluded with confirmation that there’s an option to make the move permanent. Cheerio, then.
