My friend's a Tranmere fan. He's club captain and their second highest scorer in 2008/09. Player of the season, apparently.
Wasn't the problem that he was always out with his mates? Maybe moving away from Barnsley has made him more professional.
That s not true.</p> He was sacked for constantly breaking the Clubs rules on drinking before games. </p>
That may be the reason that was given but it wasn't the real reason and if you're as well informed as you pretend to be, you will know that.
I was once down at Oakwell to watch training. Two players turned up late and the worse for drink, they were sent home.
Davey was very nasty in training to quite a few of Richies old squad. In fact it bordered on schoolboy type bullying.
That is very true and if JC went down as often as he did to slag off the previous manager , he would have seen what went on and not just releid on heresay. Hardest working manager in this division apparently
The other player involve also left the Club. Ritchie allowed the players free rein and they didn't like professional approach of Davey. They had it too easy under AR.
Davey treated the players already there differently to those he signed. Thats a fact, I saw it and so did a few others too. But I am not arguing about the past.
Bobby Hassell can't see it missen. Probably upset the apple cart with wanting a work ethic or summat.
One of the poster in this thread said at the time of Kays departure that he had been warned several times about the pop.
I live on the same street as where Kay used to live and Howard and Heckingbottom still live and I can say that Kay was out a lot on the lash. The amount of times we got woken by pissed up idiots making noise only to look outside and it was Kay and Howard. I couldnt believe that professional sportsmen at this level would want to get pissed so much. When Davey came in Howard seemed to adjust better and wasn't out as much.
who was the other? only one statement about a player drinking was ever issued and that was about one player not two. why was the other player protected while kay was hung out to dry?
