Ted Strickland

" I have read every thread that has appeared on this forum in recent weeks concerning the ifs and whereabouts of Francis.Cutting through all the dross and dregs, however, I get the impression that the player himself has destroyed a move to Portsmouth and not primarily his agent or NW. Why? Because of his very own attitude. " It would be good if players who acted like selfish prats found themselves out of work, but it''s never going to happen. Look at Savage, Anelka, Bellamy...even way down the leagues small men with over-inflated ego''s like Shane Tudor (ex Cambridge United winger) find themselves a new club. Or look at Rio Ferdinand and his contract situation at United.
