thats a real shocker, it must be a kick in the dick when players show there true character and opt for the riches of middle eastlands. we had it last year when lescott went there. thing is , he should show some balls and tell him to train with the kids, i would have him cleaning boots and carying cones, the lot.

still dont think its any reason for o neill to walk out on the rest of the squad, and more importantly, the fans.

i disagree if a club doesnt want to back the manager by keeping his players he has a right to go

how is he supposed to build a team if lerner wants to cash in on his best players


oneil has ambitions and wants and probably thought lerner was going to help him not let him down

[shellbob]

I agree Oneil is a winner and just accepting a big paycheck every week without ambition isnt him.
