The truth about Dan Harding

great servant to the club :

56 league games. Triffic.

Basically he was prepared to commit to the club by signing a new contract promised by Dick Knight, however Dick Knight withdrew this contract when he became alerted of Leeds's interest and showed Harding the door ... great servant to the club and shouldn't be booed tommorrow night

Are you saying DK forced him out, knowing that he would get compensation for him? Sounds feasible but unlikely IMO, given how little tribunals generally pay out.

 

[blue and white army]

Yeah thats right might be the same scenario as Hammond etc and others never mind i'll contradict myself and boo him tommorrow night

'The truth about Dan Harding' seems to have been removed. Is that Pravda at work? (Or Prada, as I once heard it described by one thick sloane).

Or some embarrassed self-censorship?

 

[ih8palarse]

the truth is he is a c**t

the truth is he is a c**t

You seem to be a rather hate-filled individual!

Reading BWA's now-deleted post in Sten's quotes, I'm not sure what the big revelation is...

 

[blue and white army]

Apologies it just disappear, he wanted to stay and sign a deal, Knight withdrew the promised deal and flogged him to Leeds etc sten knows the score

 

[Braders]

see for me the leaving wasn't a big deal , I don't begrudge any player wanting to make a big move (or in this instance Harding moving to Leeds )

my major annoyance with the guy is the way he just seemed to let his game slide when he realised that he was getting out of here , his defending was halfarsed and lazy as soon as he thought a big club would come knocking

honestly the worst thing that could happen to him did with that blasted England under-21s call up

 

[The Large One]

I remember at the time, the laziness that is FourFourTwo ran an article on the 50 best players outside the Premiership. Brighton had two players on that list. Leon Knight and Dan Harding - the latter being 26th on that list.

It was suggested by some that he wasn't even the 26th best player for Brighton.

Never liked him, he may have had talent but he cost us points by wondering out of position and getting caught out. Shit.

that wasn't a 'fee' that was given to us in a tribunal

in reality knight had no idea how much we would get- just look at what happened to palace with bostock

I remember many occasions when he had to be rescued by Mayo.

 

[Seagullible]

finally the truth is out and I didn't have to break a promise that I wouldn't be the one that revealed it. Dan doesn't deserve the bad feelings he gets.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

He took some stick a couple of seasons ago at Elland Road. The Albion faithful singing "You should have stayed at a big club" definately affected him as he put in a poor performance that afternoon.

Basically he lacked guts.
