If you watch the podcast with True Geordie that has been quoted on here already, he openly says
A) Some league clubs have offered him the opportunity to train/trial- he has refused as he doesn't feel he has anything to prove that way
B) Any offer he has had has only been 'for pistachios' which I presume he means for peanuts and doesn't meet his financial expectations
Either way, if he has been humbled by his story, he is somebody that has continually proved he cannot change his ways for a susained period of time. Any offer other than a rolling contract would be madness from anyone.
