However, since Phifer and his agent felt there were no negotiations he was reluctant to sign a further deal.

In July 2012 he signed a further two-year deal with the club, having turned down two earlier contract offers.

It led to further deals with the network, all on a freelance basis, for slightly more money.

He signed a further one-year deal for 2011-12, and would turn 48 years old before the start of the new season.

Mr. Jordan said yesterday that he had no further major deals in mind.

Malcolm then signed a further one-year deal with the club on 10 July 2008.

In June 2008, it was announced that a further four-year deal would start for the 2010-11 season, with the deal worth £125 million.

He was offered a further deal by the club in May 2012.
