The REAL reason Stubbs left Everton

The *beneathus* blupooe kicked out *stubbs* because of cancer scare.

Everton the so called peoples club showing their true colours....

Alan Stubbs claims he chose to leave Everton this summer after the club insisted on a get-out clause in his contract relating to the testicular cancer he overcame earlier in his career.

Stubbs left Goodison Park to join Sunderland last month after failing to agree terms on a new deal with the Merseysiders.

And the 33-year-old revealed the stumbling block was about Everton's insistence on including a clause allowing them to cancel the deal should he suffer a relapse. The same clause had been included in his previous four-year contract.

Stubbs, who beat the disease four years ago, said: "It was very disappointing not to stay at Everton.

"I haven't said anything before now, but the reason I didn't sign again with Everton is because they wanted a clause in my contract about my cancer.

"It wasn't about money. I am not going to stand here slating everyone, criticising people. But that was the be all and end all of the reason, and I wasn't happy.

"I was there four years and I feel as though I did as well as anyone for four years. Suddenly, the club turn round and say: 'We will offer you a one-year deal but we want a clause in it about your cancer'.

"I don't see that as showing loyalty."
