Re: Speculation: Hayles released by city: mad dog interested?

Devastating.

 

[LS6_Fox]

Indeed. Almost as sad the recent Jordan/Peter split.

 

[swede fox shepshed]

It's almost too much to bear Alex, it really is.

BARRY....Don't leave, you are pure comedy !!

 

[Graz]

Thank **** for that

During the relegation season, if other players had shown his level of committment, we wouldn't have got relegated to division 3!

Imo, some people need to cut him some slack.

He was Holloway's first signing as City's Manager

Barry Hayles may be rubbish but he is better than most of the players Martin Allen signed for us. He was a fiery player, brave and committed. However, he was just past it. Ian Holloway signed him because he was desperate to change our lack of goals. Like most desperate gambles it did not pay off.
Youngsters aside if a player has not been good enough to get in a team getting promotion from League One he will not be good enough to get promotion from the Championship.

Spot on! Thank you and goodbye Barry

Two highs for the guy that I can remember...

The last minute goal of his bum (or something, it wasn't meant.) to give us three points against Neil Warnocks Palace at home. It was a dire game, but I jumped off my sofa and celebrated rather too loud for my mothers liking!

The other one - possibly a turning point in this season - his subsitute appearnce against Bristol Rovers at home. We were 1-0 down, things weren't looking good and he came on and hussled, bussled and just generally helped to change the game.

That game was the starting point for our really good run, so far play Barry for that.

He hasn't done bad for himself mind - not only do Cheltenham want him but Walsall too and neither are managed by Ian Holloway!

Yes quite agree, it was against his wishes that he retire somewhere other than Plymouth.

wasn't awful just wasn't what we were looking for, I'm sure he'd be the first to agree.

All the best Barrington. Absolute hero.

i.e. someone who is good at football/can score goals? Couldn't agree more
