ANDREW Cole has been released by Sunderland.
Manager Roy Keane's decision not to offer the striker a new contract could pave the way for the 36-year-old to make a permanent switch to Burnley, where he spent the last three months of the season on loan.
The former Manchester United and England marksman is wanted by Clarets boss Owen Coyle after scoring six goals in eight starts.
Stanislav Varga, who also arrived at Turf Moor on loan from the Black Cats in January, makes up a quartet of experienced players who have not been offered new deals.

I remember Cole playing for Rovers. Scored the winning goal at Cardiff in the Worthington Cup Final Can you imagine a Telegraph article overlooking that a player once played for Burnley?

Plus your average Burnley fan can\'t afford the internet. And it\'s hard to work a keyboard with webbed fingers.
By the way Editor, that piece in the Burnley section about the Top 20 Burnley moments is a fascinating read - a really accurate description of the dingle\'s achievements.
I recommend that everyone have a look at it!

Burnley fans can manage with webbed fingers no problem. I understood it was the rovers fans that struggled focussing with their three heads. And last but not least, isn't ewood they have renamed Deadwood because of the lack of home support. I have heard that NASA intend to send new astronauts there to train, as it is the only place on earth with no atmosphere.The Editor wrote: 4 posts on this Burnley article, 3 of them from Rovers fans.
