Dempsey Drops Exit Hint
Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey has hinted that he may be forced to leave Craven Cottage in search of regular first-team football after dropping down the pecking order in west London.
The 25-year-old would certainly not be
short of suitors in
"The coach
here now is not the one who brought me in so it's difficult proving that I
deserve to be on the field," the News of the World quoted Dempsey
as saying.
The Cottagers
have, though, lost two league games in a row, and the former New England Revolution midfielder may benefit
from changes that Hodgson opts to make.
However, Hodgson has shown that changes may not come from within. On
Saturday, despite being down a man and two goals from the first half,
the manage made no substitutions, a clear enough sign that he does not
have faith in his bench players.
