He was only 21 when he was here. You can't judge a player on performances 5 years ago. Rickie Lambert was playing for Bristol Rovers in League 1 at the same age.
You've just contradicted yourself by saying
Tony Bloom has said he always has a short list ready for the job anyway
and then
He does not draw up new short lists every time he may need a new manager.
Anyway with respect I don't seem to recall Tony Bloom saying anything to either of the above...
This is far more interesting than some of the other bernal threads on this forum at the moment...If it's not about crisps, someones vague music tastes or some Palace nob, then it's full of sycophantic drivel about such and such being the poshest person on the forum or who is the bestest...
Please please please let this be true.
He was my favourite player from the second half of last season and an absolute unsung hero and rock at the back.
