Dean Windass

Ricardo, you really are a knob, aren't you! What you have written is not clear, then. You talk about his loss of earnings as if it is a fault of the system; that, to me infers you think he should be able to earm similar in the future or his life will implode. My point is that he has two decades to come to terms with the 'end of the tunnel', he had a wife with a full-time career and a father trying to talk sense to him. Did he invest, re-train, listen to others - no did he ****, he got pissed, he blamed others (remember his Dad publicly trying to get him to stop talking to the papers about not getting selected by Brown?) - he needs to go away, sober up and start listening to those who can help him and stop talking to the media. His loss of earnings and his career change are no worse than what many 'normal folk' (to use your words) have to cope with - the only difference is that his previous high earnings should have afforded him more of a comfort zone. Stop looking for excuses for him - he is perfectly capable of doing that for himself.

When I read his book and then look back over the period since he returned to the KC, it is sometimes difficult to believe that this is not a man who is prepared to piss others off simply because he is a needy twat.

The only HDM reference I have seen, says 'they believe' she may be assisting and that it is he that is trying to rebuild the relationship - hardly a statement that he has gone back.

I have never said he should not have asked for help. or that doing so makes him a failure; what IO have said, consistantly, is that his error was in using a red-top or the media in general to move forward. I, and others, do feel the timing of all of this has a certain bandwagon cringe-worthiness!

 

This is taken from the HDM.
In 1966, Mr Feasey retired from league football and became player-manager of Goole Town, later reverting to his old trade as a bricklayer.
Might be an idea if Windass took a leaf out of Paul Feasey's book and got off his arse and reverted to doing a proper job, as a bricky, like he did before.
I think people would think more of him doing that than bleating to some red top paper.
I do feel, like Fez, it has a certain bandwagon cringe-worthiness!

 

I don't disagree but Paul Feasey never earned a lot of money. In that time they earned a good wage and nothing more.

I think Dean only gave the interview in exchange for time at the clinic.

Dean said he wasted money. If he had been careful he wouldn't have had to work again. Having said that, it's easy for me to say at my age.

 

or hes got a good agent........
gots to keep the profile up
