West Brom’s striker sent a series of tweets over a five-hour period 
criticising their decision to bench him. 
Odemwingie tweeted: “Keeping me on the bench now is worst than what they did 
on the 31st.”
And The Nigeria star later added: “If they like they shouldn’t even give me 10 
mins to play. Threatening to ruin my career? Career I closed already last 
summer? No harm to me. 
“Want to treat me like an average player. The abuse and praise I get is it 
average? So get some extra from me too.”
Despite reporting to training the day after his trip to London the striker was 
told to report the following week. 
A fine of two weeks’ wages followed but boss Steve Clarke said in February 
that he still had a part to play at the club. 
Odemwingie — used as a second-half sub on four occasions since the 
incident — has one year remaining on his contract.
