Akinbiyi has made his feelings clear to the Stoke chairman

Akinbiyi, 30, has yet to be offered a new deal and has been frustrated at seeing City's promotion push fall away.

"I sat myself down in John Rudge's (director of football) office and refused to move," said Akinbiyi.

"After about an hour, John finally gave in and agreed to call the chairman. I spoke to him and told him how I felt."

"I made it clear to him how we all felt, myself and the other players and the general atmosphere at the club."

Akinbiyi has been the subject of transfer bids from Sheffield United and Wigan but says he is keen to sign a new contract and spend the rest of his career at the Britannia Stadium.

However, Akinbiyi claims Stoke are not as willing to grant him the improved terms he demands.
