From a football perspective I'm not sad to see him go as he is past his best but absolutely no way he deserves abuse! He has been a great servant, played whenever and wherever he's been asked to and never disrespected our club.
Football is not just about success and ability, loyalty and integrity should never be ridiculed, they are in short supply in the modern game.
Good luck to him, hope he goes down though. ;D

Maybe we have someone to come in and cover that position.
Maybe he's already here
Olsson?

Shame we can't give him a planned send off. Great servant and legend in my eyes, I'm sure his stats will be looked at in years to come as opposed to the odd poor performance etc and reaffirm his legend status when you consider who we are and the journey he's been on with us.  Thankyou Chris for everything

It hard to comprehend how long he's been at the club. But if i think bout how that when he joined i was 22 and think about where my life was then it's kind of jaw-dropping!

Same here. I was just turning 28. I'm 40 this year. My life has changed immensely in that time.

Sentimentally I’m really sad to see him go if he goes , would have loved for him to have  left in the summer and had a decent send off. Personally I still think he had a part to play , still by a country mile the best crosser of a the ball at the club.

At this moment in time letting Brunty go is wrong. Bad move Bilic, Brunty could still have played an important part this season.

Unpopular view maybe, but I'm starting to have major concerns over Bilic.

Will Brunt leaving affect the dressing room and the players? I hope not!

You have got to be joking. Our delivery into the box is absolutely abysmal.

If you do go - All the best Chris. Thanks for the many years of sterling service with some magic moments. I do believe you are one of the last of the great clubmen. I can't think of any time when you let our club or supporters down. Pity it might be Stoke, one of our rivals we have often struggled to beat, but fully understand the draw of joining up with Mr O'Neil for a last challenge. Once again good luck and many thanks, your presence at The Hawthorns will always be welcomed.

Name me one ? Matty Phillips’s crossing from dead ball is shocking , Perriera’s crossing from a dead ball situation is again shocking . Unless Perriera is shooting from a free kick his crossing is woefull .

Criminally under utilized under the current regime. He should easily be in the side over Livermore.

425 odd games 48 goals 88 assists or something crazy club legend. I hope he gets his testimonial. Would much prefer he leave in the summer on a free with another championship winners medal round his neck
O Albion we love you

Absolute legend but dont agree he should be starting ahead of Livermore. Livermore has been poor last 7 games as has everyone. Before that though I think he had improved greatly under Slav. Brunt should have gone when we got relegated along with Mozza and G Mac. Just my opinion of course.

I really have mixed emotions about this, I cannot imagine seeing CB playing against us , but the guy deserves a great send off from us.
have to say that I'm surprised that Stoke have again come in for one of ours.

Stoke are in a dog fight and could be relegated, I wouldn’t like to see Chris involved in all that. Stay and win promotion a much better option to end your career

If they play him in the centre of the park there's a very good chance that will happen.
