New ex-players (and managers) thread

What's the back story on Wayne Brown? I've heard it mentioned several times about his views on race and I've never heard the full explanation.
 
Can someone explain what this has to do with Gary Neville being appointed coach at Valencia?

I imagine it's something to do with the six winner's medals Pegguy accumulated sitting on the Liverpool bench (+ 1 from our League Cup win in 2000), and/or the parallel between Gary Neville leaving his company for Valencia and Pegguy's departure for Cov (where IIRC he did a lot more bench-warming)

From the Daily Mail. But even so, it's probably true:


Leicester City are considering the future of defender Wayne Brown after an allegedly racially abusive outburst in the club's dressing room left his position in doubt.

Contrary to reports last week, it was not merely Brown's boast that he voted for the BNP at the General Election which enraged his team-mates, but the language and terms he used while doing so.

Having returned to the dressing room after training, where a discussion was taking place between a group of players about the election results, Brown first told a stunned, racially mixed group of players that he had voted for the BNP.

He was met with a volley of protest. But rather than defusing the situation, the player, born in Barking where BNP leader Nick Griffin was wiped out in the election by Labour's Margaret Hodge, and the party lost all its council seats, launched into an abuse attack on against ethnic minorities whom he claimed were 'killing this country'.

The reaction was furious and several players pointed out that, not only were Brown's phrases and views unacceptable, but that he had Asian, black and mixed-race colleagues.

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson suspended him for the play-off semi-finals, which the side lost to Cardiff City, and has made clear privately he no longer wishes Brown to be a part of his squad.

A statement from the club said: 'Any alleged incidents will be investigated and dealt with internally.'
 
Nuge (love that man!) has of course scored against Ipswich again.
 
It's either 'Middlesbrough' or 'The Boro'. Your choice.
 
They eat chicken with cheese on everyday though so doesn't count.


When I lived there I didn't know anybody who could afford both chicken and cheese. They're obviously stealing one or the other.
