Bannan has his say

[Toronto Villa]

As much as I hate(d) O'Neill, Bannan is dreaming if he thinks he'll become a regular in The Villa team, or any other Premier team for that matter.

Our kids were being given a chance to come through the ranks. That is one thing you cannot level at MON for not encouraging. Honesty is great, but when you are 20 and just coming through the academy, you need to keep you mouth shut and head down. Not everyone makes it, and being bitter isn't going to improve your stock. The next manager who comes in may see that also and he'll be back in the same boat.

I'm still inclined to believe Martin Laursen ahead of anything an arsehole like Shorey says, he reckoned that some liked him others didn't and I think you'd get the same at any club in the country.

Fleetwood Mac wrote a song about it, the line is "Players only love you when they're playing".

Laursen left a year back. He wouldn't know really

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I agree Chris. Eleven of the squad probably liked him.

Unbelievable, you think you know beter than our ex-captain. This has taken your delusion to a whole new level.

[Brend'Watkins]

I like Chris's Fleetwood Mac link it sums it up perfectly.

In any case, it's not a question of being liked it's about respect and I think all the squad did even if all of them didn't like him.

Riiiiight... So a full year after you've left a job, you're still in touch with exactly whats going on behind the scenes there? Best you'll know is what you've heard from a few people you keep in touch with.

Gnasher, are you saying that Laursen knows very little and is spouting bollocks?

Laursen said he was difficult to work with, even though he liked him.

He also said if a player was out of his plans he wouldn't speak to them.
