Lee Butler was a good shot stopper but was a proper vampire
We’ve had a few of them over the years.[/quote]
Vlad being the fittingly-named prize exhibit
I know it’s making the best of a bad job, but would you prefer to be being charged (and hence not going – and I mean me!) huge amounts to see us being tonked at Emirates, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Etihad et al?
Wonder if they’ll have a “Bottom Four Wane” thread if he goes ;)
4 Riera
3 Delort
2 Taylor
1 Cowie
Would have added Forshaw as a fifth. Please Sharpey get this recruitement thing right and when you do…play them!!!!Because the Chairman selects the team ……
High among the worst signings, when you add in the hype to his arrival, has to be Pasquale Bruno.
Wikipedia describes him as “one of the toughest players in the history of Italian football.”
Lasted 45 minutes against Grimsby!
:lol:Not many defenders making the list but the worst one i have seen is the current managerYou think his brother was better? :cheer:
I agree with Aghahowa and Scotland :)
And yes, I think Zaki’s off the field antics made him much more of a liability than was made up for by his goals, so overall he was a waste of time, money and effort.
Not sure about Fortune, Phil. Not been good certainly, but worst 3? I’m not so sure.
I’d throw in a controversial suggestion – Zaki.
Great when he decided to turn up, but a nightmare otherwise.
“it’s had it’s day in the sun” – that sounds to me like a judgement on the thread, not your contribution.
Oh, and by the way – it’s “its day in the sun”
Egg wake up, that’s my point. We don’t know so stop guessing.
Right stop talking to me on this thread, it’s had it’s day in the sun. We move on.
Not sure you should get to deciede anything, let alone whether we have finished with this thread or not.[/quote]
I was about to write similar myself.
If we can still be going on Bottom-4 Bob a few years on, then I think others will decide if and when this thread slips away.
I honestly cannot see why all the soul-searching about Boycie.
Over the last whatever number of years it is he has earned hugely more than any of us can dream of. In the Premier League starting salaries are around £1 million a year – and he was team captain. That’s at least £20,000 a week. How many of us earn much more than that in a year? And yet we, ultimately ones who pay the wages, are now supposed to be outraged that, having happily taken that money when times were good, he doesn’t want to take less when times aren’t so good? Even though he’s unlikely to take part to any significant measure.
And as for the difference between Caldwell and Boyce? Caldwell has always had an eye to coaching at the end of his playing career. He has been working his way through the badges – including not spitting his dummy when having to coach under-8s as part of the coaching requirements. The club have seen him as a potential asset for the future in coaching (maybe they never expected him to be manager so quickly, but that to me says a lot about how his positive attitude has come across) and so kept him on. At what pay, I don’t know, and nor do you.
Boyce has shown no interest in coaching. It may well not be for him. So he has no value going forward for the club, only a charge on stretched resources.
As I said above – there is no entry in club accounts for “sentimental value”.
It’s called leaving your options open. The agent is making the running, and Holt leaves his options open.
If someone came in with a really good personal offer for him then he’d be daft not to consider it. But that’s a world away from him wanting away initiated by himself.
