Hmm. Not sure myself. If he's only good enough for Fleetwood do you really think he could do a job in the Prem? Also isn't he a bit old? I thought he'd retired once.

EDIT: Apologies, I was confusing him with Niall Quinn.

Neil Finn is one of my musical heroes. In the same league as Lennon and McCartney as a song writer. Time for Tim and Neil to record another Finn Brother album.

Band membership has always been a bit fluid.Used to be bands in the 60's where it changed every week,like the Paul Butterfield blues band.

Blimey - aren't they all a bit long in the tooth to start firing people?

I think Lindsay Buckingham is a control freak. Him and Stevie are the main reason behind their success as a West Coast band though. If you have seen the Don’t Stop documentary you’ll know what I meanabout Buckingham.

He has ****ed off before on a couple of occasions hasn’t he? Only to come back when he flopped as a solo artist. Being sacked is a new one I think

I agree with the other Peter Green Advocates. If there was ever a massive talent in that band it was him.

Anyone who thinks Fleetwood Mac are bland just google Green Manalishi and Oh well.

Then come back and proclaim a snorefest.

Mike Campbell is probably the most competent guitarist within the limitations of a rock band that I've ever seen.

Yep - I'd love another Finn Brothers album. On a similar note, have you enjoyed the music from Don McGlashan? Certainly worth a listen if you've not: http://www.donmcglashan.com

I've always missed out on Crowded House and Neil Finn's solo career, always watching to see if he would tour the UK and now this happens ! doh !

Worth going back & listening to Albatross & Green Manalishi.

Peter Green is the best guitarist England ever produced but Danny Kirwan's contribution to early Mac alongside him and then mid Fleetwood Mac (before Nicks and Buckingham) is very underestimated. Some of his songs on Kiln House and Bare Trees are beautiful, for example:
