He knew his time was up at Bournemouth, so had to turn it on with us, either to show us or others what he could do. Played games all summer, and personally once that went on and on, we should have pulled the plug. Became toxic whilst under contract, unfit and lazy, and had to go. The circle of Tomlin just continues, and will do so until he retires. Personally couldn't care less what happens to him, but I think the best move for Cardiff is to get rid. I spoke to a cardiff supporter I know when the rumours of him going to you started, and said "depending on which version you get, he'll either be the best signing you'll make, or will look like the worst player ever". I think you've probably seen both sides haven't you? We sure have. He didn’t feature in our promotion year team at all, yet doubled his wages to a reported 32k on promotion. shame he wasn’t fit and leaner last year like he is now, as we could have really done with him in the PL. I think he shed 2 stone and is clearly much fitter than he ever has been with us. I know he had issues before with a drunken assault charge was it? With all that behind him maybe he’s seen the light....who knows. You can have flint back though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an interview with him in the summer (might have been in your local rag) where he said he`s realised he`s pissing his career away and had decided to do something about it hence the weight loss and improved attitude. He also seemed to have accepted he`d been an arsehole in the past and had sought professional advice to sort his head out. It looks like it might have worked and fair play to him but it`ll be a long time before I forgive him for the disruption he caused at City I`m afraid.

robin_unreliant Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Do me a favour. He doesn't give a toss until he can feel his ass slipping off the seat on the gravy train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the only thing he cared about was himself - there's no way he would miss on purpose he would want the goal stat. And yes, properly managed I would have him back (not with LJ though).

Montpelierblue Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I’m pretty sure I read he did have to undergo serious therapy and had considered taking his own life maybe? That’s a long dark rd if correct, so good on him for bouncing back as he has. Wouldn’t wish that kind of mental anguish on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why he's decided to perform the way we know he can, he's looking to secure another contract !

That player we signed looking like Tomlin, his clone, forget it. Still think he missed a pen on purpose trying to get LJ sacked. It was that bad. best of luck to Cardiff. I agree he missed it on purpose. Don't think he was supposed to take it either. How anyone can want someone like that back at our club is beyond me.

Spoons Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 All I'm going to say is since I turned up at my first city game I've always wanted to be entertained for my money's worth. Jacki, Taylor, tinnion, Hartley, jet , Cole, Caulker.....And Tomlin. These type of players who entertain aren't always well liked in the dressing room etc or end up staying around for long but it's more exciting to watch as a fan.

Warnock has the most promotions in football league history but he’s only been promoted from the championship to the premier league on three occasions as a manager - Steve Bruce has done it four times ...
