He fell out of love with the game and picked a few fights on the way and can be very provocative at times, but underneath it all he’s a decent bloke who hopefully will can revive his career when he finds another club.
I think he has faced some mental demons over the past few years which clouded some of his judgement. I think it's admirable the way he got involved in the youth team this year when he could easily have sulked and act like a prick.
Have had an issue with Rose since that poxy interview. Have real sympathy and a huge amount of admiration for his fight to highlight racism and mental health issues but to have given the Sun (who mocked Frank Bruno when he was hospitalised with mental health problems, regularly print racist **** and treated football fans like scum in their reporting throughout the 80s and 90s) that exclusive interview was ****. But we all **** up and if he has changed for the better then fair enough. It's a real shame cos he kind of killed his chance to be remembered will real fondness...although a lot of us seem to be seeing him in a better light recently so maybe time will make the scab heal over. I like that he spent the last year support those who haven't yet made it. I hope he has found peace and starts to enjoy life again.
You well know that you’re not alone with your dislike for the guy after his gobbing off. I guess we were all pissed off with him then, but he has got rid of the massive chip on his shoulder and as I said earlier, hope he can get a kick start back into the game with another club.
Hats off to Rose for calling out ENIC`s lack of ambition, though he maybe could of done it in a better way. He came across as having a huge chip on his shoulder at times, and was clearly envious of Walker when he was tapped up by City and subsequently doubled his wages, Rose seemed to think he deserved the same. Overall, Rose was a good servant for Spurs and had 2 or 3 seasons when he was really top class, even though he was a bell end at times. I wish him well and hope he finds another club, but I doubt it will be Milan.
Making himself a punchline for several years worth of transfer rumours isn't exactly a legacy that any player should want
Somewhere on Twitter, somebody is blaming Daniel Levy for this... Actually, wasn;t it Al-Ain who were linked with a move for Lucas a day or two ago?
I had the displeasure of catching an in depth interview with Judas Campbell on Talksport yesterday. My goodness, what a self centred oaf the guy is. Constant whining about only getting 1 interview from 19 job applications, saying he’s a serial winner so should be given interviews. He is so remote from the real world because he is so up himself. I turned off when he started banging the race card as another’s reason why he doesn’t get jobs. The guy confirmed that he is a top grade prat.
Having watched that, I hope you gave twelve Hail Blanchflowers and had a tumbler of something strong on hand and/or liver
He'll never understand that his own actions have consequences. His contemporaries, like Gerrard and Lampard, got their badges and went back to their main club to work with the youth, then moved onto other jobs. He couldn't do that because he burned his bridges everywhere and sued half of his old teams. As Alan Curbishley found out, chairmen don't like to hire the litigiously inclined. The man's an idiot. He's done nothing to make anyone consider him for a decent job and has consistently showed a lack of loyalty for decades.
They're clearly hiring by the Official Spurcat Style Guide and focusing extensively on the haircut section.
I don't know if it was same interview as Spurcat heard, but I heard a bit of him with Jim White and Simon Jordan, with White appearing to be working as his agent constantly stating that 'he (Judas) just wanted a chance' and I found myself asking the radio what did Macclesfield and Southend give him then? I know that they were both basket case clubs before he arrived but the job did at both was hardly inspiring.
Campbell can not understand why no body trusts him and refuses to accept he has behaved appallingly. 1. He lied about never joining Arsenal. 2. Left on a free contract to join them and claimed spurs fans had no right to turn on him. 3. Told Arsenal he wanted to play abroad so they gave him a free transfer...only for him to sign for Portsmouth. 4. Left Portsmouth when they went into financial meltdown but demanded his contract be fully paid up even though they were on the brink of collapse. 5. Joined Notts County and then left when they hit financial meltdown, demanding a full pay off. 6. Had a record as manager of Macclesfield was P 30 Won 8 D 12 L 10. Left when they hit financial meltdown and backed them to be wound down cos he was owed wages. 7. His record at Southend was P 23 W4 D5 L14. 8. His total managerial record is P53 W12 D17 L24 And he wonders why no one wants to hire him! Oh and on top of that, he claims to be a fighter for racial equality yet wanted to join the Tory party ... that well known anti racist party. Oh and the multi multi multi millionaire complained of a tax proposed by Labour on mansions sold for more than £2m. Takes self absorbed to a monumental level.
