05/04/2010 - Burnley, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Burnley skipper Steven Caldwell has admitted to being disappointed at not being offered a new contract by the relegated Turf Moor club.
The 29-year-old central defender joined Burnley in January 2007 from Sunderland, but is out of contract this summer, having suffered a number of injury problems as his side have failed to survive in the Premier League.
He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "I've never been offered a contract, so it's out of my hands. That's life, sometimes things change and you move on to a different challenge.
"I'll just go about my business and work hard. It's never really happened, people speaking to me and obviously I've been injured for a while, which has maybe been taken into consideration.
"I'm always willing to listen, but I'm a little disappointed it hasn't come so far.
"Things change and people move on, if it had come a little earlier, I think I would have been interested to listen and see what is said.
"I've been a prominent feature in the team for three-and-a-half years though and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Burnley. It's a fantastic club and we've achieved unbelievable things.
"Sometimes clubs seek different routes and people move on and I'm open to challenges. If nothing's been said so far, maybe we have to move on."

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
