lanesra 4,007 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I hated the man at times though only football related , my admiration for him is massive (that sounds hypocritical but that's true) loved his down to earth ways , he'd be mixing with the best in football 1 day and the next day drinking Tea in a council house telling the family how he'd look after their boy , old school morals mixed with a will to win driven by his desire to be the best . 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least until the last five years of my career. We’d give them good deals on our fringe players or ageing players, and in return they’d take some of our youngsters on loan give them Premier League experience. Unfortunately they got greedy in asking for Scholesy when he still had a couple of years left in him. I was never going to agree to that, but they didn’t take the hint and came back in every transfer window, mainly because their fans “wanted” him. They’re an odd lot let me tell you; ideas above their station yet supporting a team who are nothing more than a hindrance even when at their best under Peter Reid. In the end I pacified them by offloading Brown and O’Shea – both good servants but past their sell by date in my mind. Both injury prone and liable to make mistakes. Still, they were good enough to do a job in a poor team.’ Get well soon The man knows his football, absolutely no-one can argue with that. An ‘odd lot’ indeed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
