IMO he would have been better off retiring at the end of last season, but should take the oppurtunity to retire now or move on to new pastures in a bid to go out on a high, clean up his image with the fans and help out the club with their financial troubles.

If I was him I would stay til the end of the contract, getting paid for doing nothing.

I think batty was a great player in his day but I think the time has come for him to retire.he just doesnt have the legs anymore to do the job that he used to do for us so maybe he should call it a day.a great servant though and never mind the recent about the wage deferrals.

as a blackburn fan i think he is a class act - every team needs someone to break up play and get physical in tough games. Id really feel for him if this was his farewell.
