I know Aberdoon well and he’ll do ok in the domestic league then someone will offer him a secure retirement locally.

Interesting quote.Quote:
I got in at Cardiff, but the chairman blocked it (a longer-term deal) and Aberdeen were still interested, luckily. I can’t wait to get going – it’s a great club

I did wonder at the time whether it was a sign that the absolute say of the manager was somewhat diminished since the Warnock days, as I got the impression that he was Mick's guy and Mick wanted him in. purely guesswork though.Quote:

We should thank Dalman. Watkins was shown the door by a piss-poor Bristol City for a reason.
Well done Mehmet.Quote:

Indeed. We don't want any of this 'scoring goals with your feet' nonsense here.Quote:

Having said that he has been a Bluebird and the few of us who attended the Sutton game can always say 'I was there'!!
A latter day Billy Woof!Quote:

Typical City, paying off the last five days of his contract.
I actually was at that game, my first with my father.1982 I believe. Beat Wigan 3-2 after falling behind. Woof scored at the Canton end, a header, I believe it was the winner as well. I joined in the celebrations with some teenage skinheads by attempting to scale the green chain link fence. I was only 10 and I ripped my duffle coat. The old man called me an idiot!Quote:

Does this call for an “I saw Marley play for Cardiff City” t-shirt?
I couldn’t help but think of this reference to ghost of Christmas pastQuote:

Probably some truth in it.Quote:

A discussion on a 30 year old released by Bristol City with no long term future at the club with no sell on fee then a good decision by all involved.
NoQuote:

Don’t know whether it’s true but no need to say it anyway because I think he was treated more than well.
