Are they not just frustrated ?
Whelan gets slaughtered and won medal after medal even captaining us to trophies.
Barnes was here years and one of our best players in one of our best sides, winning medal after medal.
Aldridge ditto.
But if they criticise Rafa its not on ?
This is what i just dont get.
they can criticise all they want if they actually state facts and speak sense. whelan was criticising rafa when we'd just reached a second champions league final in three seasons ffs let alone the last 12 months when things went downhill. he also kept banging on about rafa having spent £300m which is a load of bull but we won't get into that argument again. in the end i just felt he was saying these things to gain publicity. lawrenson the same. gets paid a fortune as a pundit but you can tell he has no way near the same love for the club as some other ex-players.
it disappoints me even more when the likes of phil neal and alan kennedy come out and support the idea of a groundshare.
so is there any ex players that we are ok with
Ian St John.
