His (BFS) ego probably.

[maxxi]

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.

[StraferJack]

I'd say SAF was a good man manager and he obviously didn't want him.

I would blame bfs on this one

Plus he has less choice than SAF

[Otta]

Although it could be that SAF just thought "screw this, I'm too old for this shit and I'm retiring soon".

[titch juicy]

By all accounts he was more than a little disruptive at United. Rumours that he demanded a ?40k per week contract or something

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."

[StraferJack]

Haha. All true max, all true.

My typo on phone btw. Meant to say wouldn't blame but you got that

[Parkdrive]

The board told BFS to stick with Morrison, and yes he was an arsehole at Yanited.

[red devil]

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...

[????]

BFS decided a while ago that he doesn't want Morrison....and, slowly, I am beginning to come round to his POV

[Otta]

"and, slowly, I am beginning to come round to his POV"

Liverpool fans can all understand how quality on the pitch will make it difficult to totally condemn a player ;-)

[Otta]

Didn't see this one coming.

Lampard to City on loan til January!

[Alan Medic]

What's the point I ask myself? When is he going to play?

[Jah Lush]

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.

[Parkdrive]

Sanchez got his visa, Campbell got his visa la la la la, la la la la.

[Alan Medic]

Hugo and Sol?

How did Celtic get on in CL qualifier Alan? That's far more amusing then your stab at humour.

[Otta]

Yeah Alan. You total bastard!

Not a bastard, just a irksome fcukwit

[Mick Mac]

Count the stars on your Arsenal replica shirt for me PD.

[Mick Mac]

Jah, I'm not sure I'd classify Lampard as a holding midfielder.

[Jah Lush]

He is these days.

[Jah Lush]

Scottish football eh Mick? Sorry it's the Daily Heil but I know you love all things Celtic.

Celtic 1 Tottenham Hotspur 6.

[Mick Mac]

None of this Celtic team will play this week against Warsaw. I wouldn't have thought it worth posting.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, this time next week you'll be out of the Champions League. Will you post something about that?
