The interesting thing about this view is that if you are Bridcutt you've failed in the Prem but excelled in the Top Half of the Championship. He'll want to join a proper contender so, realistically, there's only one of c. 10 clubs he can join - one of which is us.
Developing the point I made...
I think it's a bit sad that because the guy handled his departure poorly some people rewrite history and taint him permanently.
As a player for us he was a class act in this division - there's no point pretending otherwise. He received two Player of the Season awards in consecutive seasons...
