Bullard Situation Still Unresolved - Ipswich Town News
Former Blues loanee Jimmy Bullard’s situation at Hull City remains unresolved with the midfielder told to continue to stay away from Tigers training. The 32-year-old’s two-week suspension relating to an unspecified incident which took place during a training camp in Slovenia was due to end today.
An investigation into the alleged transgression is ongoing with manager Nigel Pearson anticipating further news in the next few days: "The club will make a statement when it's appropriate on how that will move forward but apart from that I've got nothing more to say. I would expect that this week."
Bullard appears certain to be on his way out of the KC Stadium as a result of the current dispute with the Tigers keen to rid themselves of the remaining two years of the former Wigan and Fulham man’s £45,000-a-week contract.
Earlier in the summer, Blues boss Paul Jewell played down the chances of last season’s Player of the Year returning to the club due to the financial side of doing a deal, although with QPR understood to have cooled in their interest there currently appears no obvious destination for the one-time England call-up.
