He had a 'mare at Brum. But, I doubt he's crying into his millions over it.

Stockdale was great for us in our promotion push both in 16 & 17, so why all the finger pointing now? He wanted to play regular football, was offered good money by 'Arry. Which one of us wouldn't have done the same thing?

One can see why.
Jeez some shockers in there.
Agree. As I think I've said before, he knew his days were numbered here too. Maty Ryan said we'd been laying the groundwork with him for 6 months prior to him signing, so the writing was on the wall. As a (then) 31-year-old, why would he not take a lucrative, potentially more secure deal elsewhere when there's also guaranteed football involved too?
There's no doubt in my mind that Ryan is clearly the superior 'keeper but let's not forget Stockdale's huge contribution.
Still pretty sad to see how unreliable he has become, and how he has let himself become so physically out of conditions - quite staggering for a professional sportsman.

His salad-dodging tendencies was likely one of the reasons we didn't try particularly hard to keep hold of him.
Agreed.
A big part of us staying in the Championship when threatened with falling out the bottom of it, and played a massive part in getting us out of it in the right direction.
It's such a shame his last action for us came with that howler at Villa, and the subsequent implications for the title but, for me, he had more than enough credit in the bank. The title should have been in the bag long before that trip to Villa, and a large number of our players hold as much, if not more, responsibility for us missing out.
He wears his heart on his sleeve, sometimes a bit too obviously, but I can't wish him any ill at all. For his contributions both on the pitch, and off it, I'll always remember his time fondly.

Stockdale out of favour according to a posting on another forum and he's not the only one.

Both Stockdale and Kuszczak have had their squad numbers taken away, they're not on the official list provide to the football league. Their numbers (13 and 29 respectively) are still available and if they're not able to sign anyone new before the deadline, and if they can't shift one or the other, then I'm sure they'll both be welcomed back into the squad - that's at least £50k a week in wages just being ignored in favour of an 18 year old who made his professional debut yesterday.
Stockdale is, apparently, currently enormous. He looked entirely out of shape last season, but if he's even bigger now then it's very sad for him. His first season with us was ruined by his poor fitness, but the second season especially he was in peak condition. He was carrying timber in the promotion season but not as drastically as that first season.

I’m embarrassed for him
Thankfully our professional club saw this in advance and got rid .
Or in other words , offered him a deal they knew he would refuse
