2 years ago today ( my Facebook timeline kindly reminded me this morning) we were at Wycombe watching Richards being confronted by our own fans. And he's still drawing a wage from us? Wycombe, what a farce that was - a town with the slowest serving Chip Shop I've ever been to. It was a good job I was pissed and starving or I'd have walked out
We offered him a 4 year deal and he signed it. If we want to break the contract, we must pay the necessary damages.
An old friend of mine is/was a WBA shareholder (not sure about now, since the Chinese have taken over) and was telling me a few months ago they (Albion) have one of the best medical facilities in football and they are extremely thorough with their checks on players. He said it's why they were quite happy to sell Fletcher to Stoke as they believed he was on his last legs, and more pertinently they knew Lescott was a goner and were more than happy to offload him to us. Richards and Lescott indicate that our medical checks and facilities are somewhat lacking by comparison, to say the least. I sometimes wonder if they even check for a pulse.
Most players are fine, but you should be able to spot the duds. And Dave, he's not like that, and anyway you cant really deny he's right about Lescott.
