You never love them until you let them go
David Nugent
Lloyd Dyer
Chris Wood
Paul Konchesky
Max Gradel
Sol Bamba
Gelson Fernandes
Matt Oakley
Paul Gallagher
Steve Howard
Richie Wellens

The point of my list is that these are all players who received different amounts of undue criticism on this site but when you look back to realise what good players they were for us at the time

What did Gelson Fernandes do for us?

Former England manager Peter Taylor has been sacked by Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The 62-year-old was in charge of Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters, co-owned by Tendulka

Another candidate for the Forest job

What did Gelson Fernandes do for us?

He was good away at forest, when we drew 2-2.

Funnily enough, from infostrada sports tonight

.@staderennais' Gelson Fernandes is the first player this century to score a goal in the Bundesliga, Serie A, Premier League and Ligue 1.

Steve Howey playing the sausage sandwich game this morning. Seems to be having trouble with the concept.

I used to but since Jon Richardson went on talk shite I listen to that now, much to my embarrassment

 

[Blue Maniac]

Heh. That was my reaction too.

Filth.

 

[Lako42]

Macky, are you on Talksport right now by any chance?


*I highly doubt this

I'll listen to anything else on a Saturday other than his show.

Saw Steve Earle (70 last week) yesterday, over from America.

In much better shape than me (but he is 3 months younger!)

NP interview behind the Murdoch paywall with sympathetic Sunday Times journalist David Walsh.

Fairly anodyne, stressing he'd moved on and was looking for an opportunity to move into management, accepting "... with the jobs that are going to become available, there will be quite a bit of work to be done. It is very unusual to be able to take over a situation which has a lot of positives to it".

Annoyed at the charges of being a bully, particularly from players (someone called Trevor Sinclair mentioned .. who he?) he's never worked with. Interesting to hear his account of the tracking of Jamie Vardy over a number of years, nearly swooped to bring him to Hull, but felt he benefitted from his time at Fleetwood. Confident Jamie would make the transition to international football.
