He was never ostracised from the club by Bruce or Smith, so he can't have been the complete ****** he's made out be, and I've always felt that the fact we signed a player that was clearly fucked said more about the idiots in charge at the time than the player himself.

He always comes across well to me, and I find the vitriol towards him slightly unhinged.

I really don’t get why he’s a ‘sad prick.’ We bought an injury prone player and surprise surprise he was injured - a lot. As far as I can tell, he was a promising young player who couldn’t live up to his potential due to injury. Seems like a nice chap.
I hold no major grudge against Richards the main fault lies with those who purchased him (Sherwood, Fox, etc etc) but and the key point here for me is he was part of disruptive element at the club whether he likes it or not under Garde. I’d be more inclined to be supportive of his time at the club if he showed any element of remorse for his part in the relegation but all he continually does it bleat about how misunderstood he is and shows no contrition for his actions. And as for saying it was a mistake To get rid of Sherwood, is he fucking serious?!
