Fair play to the guy, I wish him luck. Shame how much he gets slated, the guy genuinely had a lot of love for the club, could do with him now tbh.
Who? Sad how it ended that last six months. He was at legendary status for us and let his ego run away (or let an agent turn his head). I’ll respect what he did for us, but the way he came back from the Euros and should have been a hero, but he wrecked it for me. He’s gone and nothing for me now.
I thought it was sad that he couldn't understand our pride in him after he came back from the Euros....seemed to have no idea why everyone was calling his name. He looked puzzled and just raised his hand briefly.
That's because he had already instructed his agent to get him a new club with a bigger deal. Isn't that the reason he changed to the super agent in the first place.
Still a legend for me and think the club also handled it poorly. Saddens me that he didn't play any time in Europe.
Don't really blame him for going all out for a move to Man Utd even if it didn't materialise. Obviously backfired and he had clearly put all his eggs in one basket and burnt his bridges at Saints so had to leave to anyone in the end.
WHU fans must be relieved to get some cash back, though they always worry where it ends up. It's very annoying we can't seem to get above them this season, they are a basket case of a club, only a matter of time until something explodes over there.
Rumours here that amazon are after the rugby rights which would be the death knell for sky sports nz. Something I would be very cool about. Amazon working on an All Blacks Docco at the moment and the rights to super 16 wouldn't even register on their bank sheet.
Bit odd that Jose Fonte has left West Ham for China, having not won any trophies, almost exactly a year after turning down a move to China, to go and win trophies with West Ham.....???......
His position at West Ham was untenable once the big gob owner criticised him in public....said his kids begged him not to buy Jose. Can you imagine Kat or Ralph* singling out a player to criticise. *Omitted Gao because I have no idea what he would or wouldn't do.
