That’s a shame if true.
Started off a bit of a liability, then became a 50 game a season rock didn’t he?
Highlights the precarios nature of their lives, Dunne included. |

Great post.
We might whine about Nourry, Madsen, Ashby, or whoever but it really wasn't that long ago that we 'lost our soul'. Even the badge was shite.
Thanks for the perspective. |

Well, I explained myself further down the thread but I really don’t think MC holds the chequebook or drafts the contract. |

Ability aside, what a name.
Love a good sturdy 1950s name. |

If you like looking at younger men you should try Grindr. |

Well, if he did sign some time ago but it’s been embargoed, we are certainly falling into the trap of getting het up about it to the point we’ll revere anyone who got it over the line.
Genius PR really, if true. |

So to be clear, I don't really disagree with most of that. Players come and go, transfers happen, the earth goes round etc.
The reason I don't like Nourry or people like Nourry isn't really related to transfers. I just don't like the culture changes that come with those kind of appointments. The spin, the manipulations, the marketing, the commodification of things that are supposed to bring us joy.
All the reasons people don't like modern football really.
My original point was more about those that will defend him to the point of obnoxiousness. If they want to claim credit for Varance, Kolli, Morgan or Lloyd (which some of them have) then you got to take the losses too. Losing Dunne on a free or a panicked pittance would be error on Nourry's part as much as getting Kolli a new deal was a success, if that was what happened.
Who'd be a CEO? Hubristic and extremely wealthy men mostly. [Post edited 23 Jan 16:05]

Not sure how you’d know anyone’s age unless you were looking it up, which raises a few questions and probably answers some too! |

Couldn’t it be that the club didn’t offer a very good deal because we spunked the housekeeping on Madsen and Celar?
Who’s fault would that be? [Post edited 23 Jan 15:00]

Will be some interesting gymnastics from the Nourry stans if he hasn’t signed and goes on a free. |

Might be waiting for a defeat so the good news will soften it. |
