"The situation is very simple," said Unsworth, who has played all but one season of his career at Everton. "The club offered me a one-year deal and having just turning 30 I turned that down. The issue has never been about the pay cut. I thought that maybe there could be a chance of another couple of years hopefully if I get back in the team and play well, and that's how it stands at the moment."
Reading between the lines here, the club were more than happy to have everyone believe that cash wa sthe problem (see related articles below) when they must have known that not to be the case. Therefore it seems reasonable to assume that they are at best not that concerned if Unsworth leaves the club.
