pongo88 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 He was a bit inconsistent, to say the least, as a goalkeeper but I think he sounds very very sensible when on TV. Whether being sensible will make him a good manager remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Isn't he penniless? This job might be what he needs to get back on an even keel....as long as he's not sacked after six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He declared himself bankrupt last year which he blamed on an expensive divorce and unpaid tax bills. As he was reputed to have earned over £20m in his career, he must have had an expensive wife and a poor accountant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Best of luck to him. I met him briefly a couple of times and he seemed a like thoroughly good bloke. Like all of us I have mixed memories of him - excitement and pride at his signing, some fantastic performances and and a few bloopers, including that 'punch' in front of the Atyeo. How that punch rates alongside the Bas Savage sniper incident or Lee Miller's miss I'm not sure, but it's up there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs4Red Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I believe he has managerial experience after managing Kerela Blasters in the Indian league. Hope he does well, one of the good guys of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Michael Jackson earned about $1 Billion, but when he died, was in debt by about $6 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I read a book recently, can`t remember the author and it was a crap story, but the main plot centred around a Scottish castle estate which was run by the British Government as a `haven` for people with money who had disappeared presumed dead from public life under a cloud but who`s bodies had never been found. Lord Lucan was there as was Robert Maxwell, various assorted Nazis, Idi Amin and all sorts of others. Shame it was such a rubbish story as that as a plot basis is brilliant. Wouldn`t surprise me if it was true as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to both parties though. On 12/24/2015 at 16:59, BRISTOL86 said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
