Nick will NOT give him a job in the matchday or players areas - he will be as ive said Tour Man, concourse seller or a programme seller
Yeah, but that's a classic chicken and egg scenario. If he's got no home, no money, not income, no family or friend support it's going to be very difficult to sort himself out. Somebody needs to come forward from the Club and help him. Not necessarily with a job at the moment, but with guidance as to how he can piece back together his life, maybe with the carrot of a certain role at the end of sorting himself out. Plus, if he has clinical depression, he is literally incapable of continuing without outside help. We should WANT to do this because of who he is and what he is in our culture and our history. But if that's not enough for the powers that be should think of how they would look if, God forbid, he tries to take his life again and succeeds. How would the club respond if the press asked them "What did you do to try and help this HERO of Hull City Football Club?"
Guess some on here havent read his autobiography? His mental health issues were very well documented. Was very obvious that similar to Gazza, he would struggle to come to terms with his playing career finishing. Deano also put his cheating into the public domain, unlike Giggs who actually did all he could to prevent it....applying for superinjunctions, etc
And there you've hit upon EXACTLY what I was getting at - so its the super injunction that is the difference. Bingo.
Christ NO, it would change the whole dynamic of Radio Humberside if they took on a bloke who was well liked and knew what he was talking about! But if the club can help, they should, and I have no doubt will. In fact, I'd put money on it that the Allam family will step in. They are decent, caring, and intuitive. Deano is the sort who would help others, so others will help him. He has more friends then he realises.
I think Dean should have gone to the clinic and sorted himself out if possible privately. There was no need to do this. Only my opinion but it smacks of a desperate needy celeb selling their story. As i said earlier his suicide attempt were over a week ago. you would imagine first point of call was the GP at the very least. So a course of antidepressants, no drinking allowed. To be seen last week downing them at the club sets my alarm bells ringing. If he is getting divorced he will need every penny. On a side note i thought all pro footballers contributed heavily to a pension scheme and could draw on it almost immediatley, with a near 20 year career thats a tidy sum.
I feel for the bloke and all that but where has all his money gone? I've seen interviews that he's done at what I believe was his house and it was massive. I've also seen him on Prinny Ave getting into a spanking new Audi A8 and that was recent as well. If it's come down to him relying on £800 a month from Scarborough to get by I'd be amazed.
He does know he just cant articulate it can he. To get finished off Sky for being crap takes some doing with the likes of Dowie, Merson still there. A few of Gazza's old clubs tried desperately to help him, ambassadorial, coaching, but unfortunately he is useless except with a ball at his feet. Nick would be wise to resist the overtures of Dean and is doing.
So Giggs was depressed, which forced him into this SUPERINJUNCTION ****. Bollocks. Giggs KNEW what he was doing, and he thought he KNEW how to get out of it smelling of roses. He didn't and was revealed as a cock spreader.
Anyhow, anybody who scores a winning goal at Wembley for my team gets my full support when they need it. Without Deano following City wouldn't have been the same. And thats all that matters, he's one of us so ****ing support him when he needs it.
I also think we have some responsibility to Deano as we helped put him on the pedestal he's hurt himself falling from.
I really hope he gets all the help that he needs, to speak so open about this shows that it is a cry for help! I dont think he did want to kill himself, but that he did think about it. More inportant i hope that what has happend with Garry Speed and now deano coming out with this people reasise that if this can happen to sports stars it could happen to anyone! I know a few people that i served with have killed themselfs after leaving the Army, How many people on here have had to give up the job they love? How many people have seen there friends die or be killed? How many have lost there Marriage because you have not been able to adjust from thease changes? How many have lost parents at an early age? Untill you have experanced thease kinds of things you will never understand what depression is, when you have you still dont understand it! But you will go through dark days and will think about ending it. I just hope this article saves a few lives
People keep saying this 'You don't understand until you've had it' thing. Does anyone actually understand depression? Deano said something about 'feeling like such a failure' WHY?! How can someone who has achieved what he has feel like a 'failure'. What does he mean by that?! I think people might be more aware and understanding if it was explained more clearly. I certainly don't get it.
