The former Galway United player’s deal was due to expire next year but he reportedly turned down the offer for a new deal that will at least keep him longer in London and the London side decided it will be better to sell him now than lose him for nothing when his current deal expires.
At the same time Manchester United travel away to Sunderland. Both Manchester clubs were level on 86 points. Although City had superior goal difference leaving them at the top of the Premier League table. Only a few weeks before the season finale. City had defeated United 1–0 thanks to captain Vincent Kompany’s header, but prior to that City had also defeated United 1–6 at Old Trafford, setting a record defeat at home for the Red Devils. Thanks to this victory for City, they had the upper hand and were favourites to claim the title, their first in five decades.
This poor run of form had begun to stoke discontent within the club as fans were getting worried about the club getting sucked into the relegation battle. QPR defender Geoff Cameron revealed that the club had to hold a team meeting after their last defeat to Rotherham at home.
Mepham while interacting with the Guardian told them that “That club was my team of boyhood. The club had a personal meeting with me and in the meeting, they said ‘When we go on to sign someone, we only look at 1 thing which we might develop and try. But apparently, we cannot see anything with which we can work on with you as a player.” He added, “That it was very hard to hear those things.”
