splendidrush 700 Posted February 11, 2019 Clear to see, one a gentleman, successful and respected throughout the game, who deserves the recognition that he received. The other, a sad shadow of a man who had the opportunity to achieve great things and let it slip through his fingers, and has become bitter and twisted as a result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 750 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Still, despite everything - as someone who’s felt relatively bitter towards PL over the years since he left - there are two things I noticed this weekend which have made me pause and consider . First, he refused to say if he still holds a soft spot for us, when asked in the pre-match presser. His reply was quite telling - something like he wouldn’t be saying it in the circumstances. And secondly, what he wore on the day. Plain black and no I*****h allegiance in sight. After all the insults he’s hurled our way, from before he even left if the accounts are true, to losing it on the touch line yesterday, I believe he’s actually been respectful towards Norwich in a coded way.

Beefy is a legend 224 Posted February 11, 2019 Well if that was coded respect it would take Bletchley Park to break it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t. He’s a self-delusional little man who is drowning in his own bitterness. (And I don’t have a short memory, I’ve just decided to move on from the ancient history of his tenure as Norwich manager...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 750 Posted February 11, 2019 Well, I’m allowing I might have got it wrong but just felt it’s food for thought. For sure he’s done everything else to sully his reputation here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 947 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I don't think it's a show of respect, but I do think he maybe regrets his behaviour and just wants to be loved by us, after all we are the only set of fans who have actually adored him. Unfortunately he's a gruff Scotsman who can't show his soft side so lashes out instead... Edited February 11, 2019 by cornish sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
