Lennon confirms that Spearing absence was due to £100k payment to #LFC if he played another game. Request to defer was refused.
Lots more to come out on this Spearing thing. What an absolute shambles.

On Jay Spearing’s omission from the team…
We had to leave him out today because if he had played we were due to pay Liverpool an amount of money. Again, that is frustrating, but the new owners are only just in the door and they have to get their feet under the table and sort out what is best for the club. We don’t want to leave Jay in limbo, so that’s something we’ll have to resolve sooner rather than later.
