ploppy Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 ...and now for something completely different. Did it ever come out in the end why he left us within a month? I remember Cotterill saying at the time something along the lines of "the truth will come out in time". Maybe I missed it but I still have no idea why he left? I assumed it was a family issue meaning he had to go back to London but if anyone could shed some light and resolve one of life's unresolved mysteries that would be wonderful.

I think it was pretty obviously LJ's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Wasn't the explanation at the time that he had a close family member very ill and he wanted to return to London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're correct there But we all know that was bollocks. ML defo gave him a slap for being a Bertie Big Bollocks.

Mad Cyril Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I heard he walked when Scott Murray couldn't source him short enough shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefcok Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Saw him play at the weekend and he was absolutely terrific, as was the lad on the other side who is just 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Fredericks gave it the big 'un and Mark Little rightly slapped it out of him. RF realised he would never fit into the close-knit group we had and went back to London with our blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAGa Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Good on Litts. The team-spirit shared by SC and that squad is something we badly miss. Edit - reminds me of when the Thompson twins reportedly ran from JET in the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 All the Little stuff is BS. People seem to think that football is like a soap opera or something. Much like the 'Pemberton grabbed Tomlin by the throat' thing after Burton. He joined, wasn't a Cotts signing, Cotts didnt rate him, told him straight, and Fredericks said if that were the case he wanted to move back to London. He was offered to all London based clubs and Fulham took him. Underlines the farce that was our summer transfer window in that period and how badly we were scraping the barrel due to the board not backing SC!

BRISTOL86 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 So what exactly did Fredericks do to trigger that reaction from Little (other than presumably being a considerably better right back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears in rain Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 He joined played a few games and was awful in all of them. Then he was home sick and wanted to go home so off went to London again. That stretch of M4 is deadly another world apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by past records and what SC said before that summer window, I'd side with SC. I was being very facetious. You're right to trust SC. Cotts did hammer Fredericks in the dressing room after the Sheffield Wednesday game though, which was a bit harsh considering he played most of it out of position.

Well, ummm, you do make a very good point and you may also remember that when it all turned for Cotts, we learnt on here that any Manager could have done what SC did given the same budget in L1. Meanwhile, we also learn that anyone with an obscene stash of cash could and would do better than Lansdown. And so it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
