the club themselves werent out of order, it was the rules regarding health and previous illness that the insurers require that was the issue, i dont know how it was concluded, what i will say is that i fully understand stubbs position but i disagree with the manner in which he aired this dirty laundry in the press.
it could be said that his then parting ways with the club he loved made him emotional and hurt, that said, why then harm the reputation of the club like he did.
dont know what he said about sunderland, never heard any comments about bolton and celtic, so its not like theres 'form'.
He's been a good signing for us, that's all i care about.
I remember him telling me how gutted he was that the club never came for him when he went to Celtic, he'd have walked on broken glass to have become a blue player then but we were still penny pinching at the time. If I remember right we'd have got him for an additional £250,000. His wife never settled in Scotland so he spent most of his time comuting weekly to Glasgow. Alan is a truly smashing bloke, another Labby in the making imo yet someone posts crap like that about him makes me.........I'm going for a lie down.
Calm down a forum is to voice your opinions, Like i've said dont get me wrong hes a smashing bloke, Im sure his problems with the club could have been dealt with in a better way but personally as a fan i didnt like what he did, nor did i when like it when it came to the Rooney transfer, i saw him as a player who was getting guided in the wrong way (stretford) to get involved in the transfer.
And I have aired mine about yours

so i cant express my own opinions regarding to club i love without being shot sown because hes your 'bud' ?![]()
