He was one of those about who people would say "you'd hate him against you but you'd love him if he was at your club". Not for me: I didn't like him at our club either. I don't admire him as a person.
But he's a damn good manager, and he did a damn good job while he was here.
This live version is quality, but the studio version from the album 'To Willie' is achingly beautiful. Written by Willie Nelson. Cracking tune, staggering lyrics.
Commentator: "Was that a peno?" LFW co-comms: "Fúck knows anymore, the whole thing's a joke now. I don't know, you don't know, the players don't know, the ref don't know, the three stooges sitting in the VAR box don't know and no-one at home knows either.
The ideal is that we own all of our players, but maybe that's not possible.
The squad is stretched, Nourry said (I know, I know...) that he's against loans but maybe the truth is that the budget was spent and in january our only option was to loan.
But we needed bodies one way or the other. So, ya, waddayado...
We absolutely have to go for it now, and have to believe that we can. This is our best chance in years, and may be our best chance for years to come.
Cifuentes has been here for three transfer windows and he's still working with an unbalanced and wafer-thin squad. There's no guarantee that he hangs around for another window and another season of turning water into wine. He's got his career to think of just as Dunne had last month. If Cifuentes goes, that's a gigantic setback.
We have to go for it now. That's why Friday night was so exciting: that was a team still at full throttle. We're not done yet.
There's a Guide Dog centre in our neighbourhood and I see the handlers out training them every day. They're amazing dogs, and amazing people. I have no idea how they do it. They are patient and loyal and help their buddies across the road and around obstacles and they never get distracted while all the other dogs are gallivanting and careering around the park, having the time of their lives.
It's incredible training, and it takes incredible dogs for it to work.
