Fryatt is the best striker outside the premiership bar none...da fuq says so, so it must be true
Oh do shut up you twonk
Put your light sabre away big boy...just reciting some of your pearls of wisdom....
You give me enough in relation to BD-surely a man of your stature can handle some back?
We hardly ever got to see him play due to his injuries, however on the odd occasion he did play he made the team play better and Britt also
He was never the best striker outside of the premiership however he was a proven player at our level and was getting good reviews in the Prem I did say he would be the best of the signings we made at the time
His injuries robbed us and SP of a decent player
The weight of evidence is on my side Toms the amount of people who could see he was a good signing is on my side
The same as most people who do not want your first love back at our club
Nah he was pretty average-never scored a lot of goals.
Ive never been one to follow the crowd Da Fuq-Im sure you gain a lot of comfort from being on the "right side of the fence", a side that has seen us in a consistently worse position than when BD left 4 years after-a laughing stock of a club with injury prone players. Still you console yourself with being on that "right side". Its all good
The fact remains that BD has been the only manager in recent memory that has got us challenging. Another 4 years has gone by-we've done nowt. Reckon one more year managed by BD, with Antonio and Britt would have seen us up. I think we were that close
"I normally base my opinions on facts not allegations, conspiracies or hearsay"
Apart from where a certain, vertically challenged, obnoxious, caledonian **** is concerned.
The only facts I have to go on are overall results-show me different facts and I'll reassess my opinion. You wont be able to. Please provide documentary evidence of actual wrongdoing. Where are all you ITK's getting your info from? Unless ofcourse you believed without question our illustrious owner as to the course of events which unfolded in January 2013"
Even our great hero Mr Brian Clough beat a few fans along the way and was accused of multiple wrongdoings but I don't see anyone on here laying into him-if you are going to take a principled view, take it widely. Don't base it on whether someone won European cups along the way
Surely a manager should be judged on whether (a) he produces a team capable of challenging at the top of the table (b) he acts lawfully (c) he has the widespread support of this players and staff. Isnt this more important than being a "vertically challenged, obnoxious, caledonian ****"
You cannot seriously be comparing the poison dwarf with BC on any level.
I will tell you the course of events I believe:
Sacked from Motherwell for not doing too well.
Got to two pay offs with Preston and failed twice; on the second occasion he memorably proclaimed that it was "job done" after the first leg only to go and lose at Elland Road in the second leg.
Managed to win a play off final with Derby; the only thing he has won in his entire career.
He currently holds the record for managing the worst performing team in the PL history, despite spending shed loads of their money; the 3m spent on Claude Davis (remind me again who was his agent) must go down as one of his best ever signings.
Got us to two play offs in his first spell; failed twice.
Described avoiding relegation in his first season as his best ever achievement; it probably still is, and will remain so, because I cant see him getting a job anytime soon.
Abject failure in his second spell; went on a marvellous 8 game winless run to take us out of the play off zone into mid table obscurity, recording the biggest loss to our dear neighbours since 1898 on the way.
You see Toms his record is a myth; bigged up out of all proportion by people who do not like facts.
Just because the people who have followed him have fared worse does not make him any better; a failure is a failure.
Now this might come as a bit of a shock but you don't really have to be ITK to be aware of all that; its all in the public domain, including the unflattering remarks Derek Shaw made about Billy when he left Preston that do not make very good reading.
I suppose none of that would be of interest to you though; you would rather demand documented proof that Billy is a crook.
Documented proof that does not exist or he would be behind bars; you must have noticed how difficult it was to get a conviction against Redknapp, (or was it his dog), because these people do not leave paper trails or receipts, do they?
There are plenty of people in the game who know exactly what he is like and that, more than anything, is the reason he cannot find gainful employment; but if you don't want to believe what he is like, its only yourself that you are deceiving .
