Well ask him: I don't know any more than you do. What I'm saying is that it's not the club but the personnel and the manager he's more concerned with. He's not looking to sign up with a firebrand manager because - the way I read it - he's come to terms with the fact that he has weaknesses in...
However all I would say is that he is seeking non confrontational employment, aware, one imagines, of his own problems and limitations in dealing with conflict and strife. That is a sign of growing up and maturing. But ultimately I'm sure you are right???
On the contrary, I think it does show he's matured. He's thinking about what's best for himself and his family, not just for himself, his bank balance and his ego: I think stuff like this demonstrates he's turned the corner.
I never thought I'd hear that: or anything similar from you. I, for one, will accept your apology and it is clear you've grown up (maybe not physically :laugh:) Good luck. What's next after football?
