New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Skitzo]

I wondered if that was some of the thinking with the hotel at our new training ground. Give them a luxury hotel to stay at while still letting people live primarily in London/Manchester areas?

I believe Kasper has lived in the Manchester area his whole time with us, we are in the middle of the country so use that to our advantage, if a player wants to live in Manchester or London let them, plenty of people commute in real jobs.

Not sure if he still does but I think players like Kasper, Drinkwater and Matty James used to rent a flat to use the night before games

Decent is the key word

Which is what I meant - they are the length of the M69 await from a decent population

they also don't even play in their own City, typical Coventry, doing it the wrong way around

Yeah I knew that about Kasper. Just thought it might add an extra dimension to help players do that.

spose it saves them renting a flat

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking. Not that money is an issue to them, but it just makes things even easier.

Hull was the Europeen Citie of Culltre you know...

And Coventry next year ffs.

Definitely the main issue when you’re earning 50k a week, is a £800/month city centre flat

You need a new chat up line mate.

Us more err...mature types don't need any of that shallow shite. Best left to young blokes in clubs.

I'm 56, bald, walk with a stick due to liver damage (which has the added advantage of making me overweight for the first time in my life)
Failing eyesight, tend to get tired suddenly for no reason, have to take a cocktail of meds daily. Probably won't live to be 70.

Also recently became the proud recipient of a Covid redundancy.

With all that going for me I really don't need a chat up line.

Good job I have to carry a stick at all times really as I need it for fighting the women off.

Apparently Rod Stewart used to say ‘Alright darling, what’s in your handbag?’

never said it was an issue but its obviously easier to just stay at the hotel that's at your training ground

Yurp, agreed

Yep.

A hotel. Full of footballers.

Clearly nothing bad could ever come of that...

I don't think Rod had to say anything to be honest. He had 80 million quid in his handbag.

His approach to it all was admirably simple though. Basically just replace your wife with an identical one every few years when they get too old. I reckon even some of his kids get confused as to which one their mum is !

I presume those responsible knew how to spell school correctly, though?

Youthful exuberance.A bit Lenny Cohen.

To be fair thats a DREADFUL tackle at that level.

 

[Orifice]

A lot said on Twitter about Drinkwater kicking a 16 year old.
That 16 year old should be banned for that 'tackle'.

They were both sent off it seems.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Whatever you might think, “oo ‘ello” is the beat piece of commentary I’ve heard in years. Actually sounds like a human reacting rather than a recording.

Can’t blame him for that. He’s trying to get his career back on track and some teenage prick tried to make a name for himself by breaking his leg.
