BFS never wanted him - not saying that contributed to him becoming a little swine but it probably didn't help.


Don't know what the answer is. If he's guilty then I suspect a suspended sentence, big fine and lots of community service (hopefully with relevance to the crime and the need for people in his privileged position to set an example to young men) and coupled with some anger-management &/or alcohol abuse treatment.


The question is, what can you do with lary little gits who think they can do whatever they like and, thanks to the money thrown at them and the fawning of clubs and agents etc., usually can?


If we had a good man-manager I'd say keep him and he could turn it around and become something good.


We don't.


We have a big, stubborn, ignorant, narrow-minded, dinosaur, arsehole of a manager.


So he's probably better off gone.

Didn't say he was too blame - just that he is not the kind of man capable of mentoring or otherwise turning the player around. If SAF thought Morrison was worth it or needed him and was in a position where he had to make the best of what he had I think he WOULD have persevered with him - also what Otta said.


> Plus he has less choice than SAF


All the more reason to try and turn a sows ear into a silk purse, Just that BFS's idea of developing Morrison into a man and a player would be to tell him to "Bloody smarten yer ideas up lad, or else! Now let's see if yer can hoof this ball up to the big lad in the middle there."

Fergie thought very highly of Morrison, the best youngster he'd ever worked with, high praise indeed considering the likes of Scholes, Giggs etc. Fergie didn't let him go because he knew he would eventually be retiring. Morrison had major disciplinary issues both inside and outside the club, charged for assault, witness intimidation etc. He was in with a bad lot, and the club thought he would stand a better chance of making a go of his life in football by getting him out of Manchester and away from his gangsta cronies. One weekend back in Manchester and he's in trouble again. When someone has severe behavioural issues like Morrison, clubs and managers can only do so much. Where are his parents/family in all this? One day he might wake up and realise what a fcukwit he's been, but somehow I doubt it...
I think he could play quite a bit. They have only one real recognised holding midfielder at the club; Fernandinho, and if he gets injured Lampard can fit in. They have plenty of games coming up in all competitions so the squad will need a bit of rotation. The big plus for them is that Frank is a proven winner and has bags of experience to pass on to the younger players.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
