And why would you think that? Do you think he is worth the 50k a week he was apparently wanting?

I think it was intended as gallows humour.

Reading between the lines, GH wanted him, AM preferred heskey. I'd have kept him but it would have been really dumb to sign up a player the new manager didn't want.

A further reflection of what a clown Mcleish is, anyone could see midfield is our weakest position, you don't then let our beat midfielder leave without replacing him.

Our club is a joke from top too bottom.

If I remember correctly, NRC left the club long before McLeish was approached and appointed.

That said, I stand by my assertion that it was more important to replace NRC than Downing and Young.

Well it said in the piece, Mcleish decided not to keep him?

Either way Mcleish is a clown, he is today saying its a myth he plays negative football..... WTF he is a joke.

If the alternative is Heskey in midfield, I prefer the at best average NRC.

Seriously, our best midfielder? Not Young, not Downing bur Nigel Reo Coker? That's why he's now at Bolton and they're at Manu and Liverpool?

It would have been nice to keep him for a bit of continuity but in a period of cost cutting and him looking for an improved contract it was not really an option.

We should have been able to replace a player of NRCs ability fairly cheaply by utilising Houlliers contacts abroad. The real madness would have been giving him a 50k a week contract.

The article in the OP is revisionism of a sort that the USSR regime would have been proud of.
I quite liked Nige but he chose to chase the £££ elsewhere.
