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 all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
