I think it's just the ability to differentiate between character and ability. He was fine in one, but lacked in the other.
Reading some of the comments on this thread if I was a vindictive person I'd hope he stays.Unfortunately then I'd have to put up with him as well.
Never said it did. But people can thank Ivanhoe for his effort without commenting on how shit a footballer he was. It is possible.

I'd have been equally if not more appreciative if Baros, Stan 'The Man' or Dalian Atkinson had shown a similar level of dedication.
