I think how this pans out will signal the direction of our club under the new owners.
For me, under Pulis, Berahino has very little future and he knows it. Told he could leave, played out of position, given very little support and quite often deflected onto as scapegoat for poor results. Option to walk away at the end of the season with a big signing on fee as a free agent. I can not see any incentive for him to sign.
If he has been given a conversation about the future of our club and it doesn't involve Pulis and he has the possibility of resurrecting his career (no club bigger than us will pick him up now, imo) whilst improving his financial position then he may take it. He also knows scoring goals will win over the majority of any fans who have any issue with him (very fickle bunch!).
Doesn't Pulis' contract run out at the same time as Berahino? Anybody seen any talk of negotiating a new deal with him
