West Brom signing Andrews in new tirade at Blackburn

West Bromwich Albion signing Keith Andrews has launched a new tirade at Blackburn Rovers.

He insisted his treatment was just 'disgraceful'.

Andrews, 31, said: "I spoke to people last season and said if they wanted me to move on that was fine.

"They guaranteed I'd be involved. But during the summer my advisers were hearing I was being touted around all over the place. They were telling people I was available on loan — and agreed a season's loan without me knowing. I didn't want to go to that club.

"The way I was treated was a disgrace — my phone number was bandied around, my contract details were made public in a paper. It was underhand the way they went about it. No lines of communication at all. I came back last month from my loan spell at Ipswich and they thought I was coming back into the fold.

"I had a meeting with the manager to see what they were thinking — they were of the mind to play me against Fulham on the Saturday. I said I had no inclination to play for the club again after the way I'd been treated."
