Jacked the game in at 26 due to being a piss head apparently. So more a Steve Bruce type of player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 But the lad clearly had a serious problem. I guess we should all try and be a bit more understanding about that sort of thing. Just because someone looks like they’ve got it made doesn’t mean that’s the reality 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14055 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Whether it's players drinking or getting depressed or just going off the rails generally, it's amazing how football is only just starting to wake up to the whole thing he says about throwing kids into this environment with tons of money and no support. Though I suppose it's the other side of the coin from all the ex-pros who've said how empty their lives felt once they retired. At either end you'd think there must be more that can be done. Even if you think purely in cold financial terms, where the kids are concerned in particular, surely it's in the clubs' interest to spend a bit of time and money to protect what could be high-value assets that end up going to waste. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great send off mate thanks for asking. some of you will know I played for a couple of professional clubs as a youngster (sheff wed and Sunderland) up until the offering pro terms or letting you go. There is a lot of tales told about young footballers that are nonsense, and as I said there could be a book written about it but safe to say a lot of peoples opinions of young footballers are wrong (or were, 20 years ago) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3659 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Thanks lads, honestly it was a nice day. Heard lots of stories of the shit he used to get up to with his mates/at work when he was younger. A lot of people held him in high regard, and I didn’t pay for a drink all night 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 3659 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Being honest I was a little underwhelmed when we appointed him. He’s proven me wrong big time, to take the team that Bruce left with regards to lack of training, effort and confidence and do what he has done has been outstanding. I thought he was a bit a smug cunt at Bournemouth, liked the smell of his own farts a bit too much but he’s shown he is actually a grafter and I’m all about him now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4220 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It seems like he used his time after Bournemouth to become a better manager and we're reaping the rewards of that now. Have a lot of burnley supporting friends who have no good memories of him for obvious reasons but even they admit he seems very different for us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are livid that he left the Lancashire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
