Poor Enda Stevens. I work with somebody who knew him growing up and by all accounts he is 110% in everything.

I think he'll make a career for himself out of football, just that's unlikely to be at PL level.  A shame, but it's not really the end of the road for him in England.

I don't believe anyone would put Stevens down for effort.

Iactually thought he was the most promising of the three-including Bennett. I realise that would put me in a minority of one, but think he will blossom.

From Tom Ince's wikipedia page  (disclaimer - don't shoot the messenger !)

Aston Villa

On 29 June 2013, Ince signed a three-year contract with Aston Villa, with an option for a fourth, after a direct swap deal was agreed between Aston Villa and Blackpool, with Ince joining Villa and Barry Bannan, Nathan Delfouneso and Alan Hutton travelling the opposite direction.

Edna was terrifyingly bad at Swindon when we nearly went out having been two goals up. Didn't get much of a look in after that if my event-recall is resolute.

Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of the editor. And Blackpool couldn't afford to pay their wages with the exception of The Fonz.

I would agree - but would be a great solution for us

That's probably enough to make Paul Ince offer his resignation.

Someone is definitely taking the piss with that Wiki edit. You'd have to a total idiot on a level with Paul Ince to go for that. Oh, hold on...

I still think Stevens could become an EPL level player. But it looks like he'll have to drop a division first. Hopefully he can find a decent Championship club like Lichaj did.

Had his longest (only) run in the team after that, didn't he? Performed quite well at home to ManUre. Got shafted for Saints' ghost-penalty at VP. Had a few other games around our horror period.
