Met AL recently ...impression was totally different to the AL of a few years ago...sad that I wrongly had him down as someone who'd survive the hype and fame .. Too much time spent with MP and NC massaging his ego perhaps ?
It was my understanding that Canadians speak English (well in most parts of the country).
Not sue RK and the Board have fully grasped the use of the language yet.
Great player with huge potential
Was lucky enough to meet him at the PFA awards a few weeks ago....couldn't meet a nicer bloke...very articulate and intelligent, happy to chat for ages ....definitely a big star for the future
Agree with all that
I am gutted that Rickie is going...but it had to happen. Now I've got over the initial shock I wish they'd just get on with it so that the BBC can clear some of their depressing "End of Saints" headlines from the sports page... It's starting to fcu*k me off ! RK can then unleash that new signing from Apple to get us some glowing headlines
My main problem with Moyes is not that he isn't a safe and highly competent manager ..it's just that he simply doesn't play the attacking football we've come to both expect and enjoy from Saints over the last few years. The first half at SMS against Manure is a typical example ...free flowing attacking football which was a joy to watch ...so yea....Moyes is safe and highly competent .. but is his style of football what we really want to see??
Hopefully both will stay. Was able to speak to both of them a few weeks ago and neither wanted to go then ..mind you that was pre MP jumping ship ...though I got the impression they knew he was off anyway
