He comes across a lot better than in the first one. If what he says is true then Mackay doesn't exactly come across well, does he? :hehe:Quote:

I don't think he'd need to lie and why would Mackay make it awful for a bloke that already wanted to leave?Quote:

My memory may be playing tricks on me but wasn't Hudson captain and largely considered the best cb at the club anyway.Quote:

Looking at how he has reacted to certain situations though, the storming out of the meeting room and punching stuff in the hotel reception. Even with the upset and anger he would have had from being on the bench for the final that comes across as unprofessional and you wonder what else there was he would have done along the way.
If malky was sat there I'm sure he would have had plenty to say also.
As usual the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Interesting piece in WOL...and Despite THAT penalty miss my memory of Anthony Gerrard is different.
I had converted an old barn in Wick and Anthony Gerrard rented it for about a year. He and his wife were lovely, and he had big photos of his boys in Cardiff City shirts on the wall. For me a great guy.
I don't know anything about him personally, although having just finished the podcast he comes across well and a very decent family man.Quote:

Never quite understood why he got so much stick for the penalty, some at the time seemed genuine in their belief he missed on purpose or didn't care too much because he supported Liverpool. Just ridiculous to think on so many levels.
Heard on there that he is going into coaching or management, or looking to, should be interesting to see how he gets on.
Good luck to him.
Gerrard used to try & hit an official or player on the back of the head during warm up. He failed 99% of the time. Just the once (at Reading I think), he launched one from inside the 18yard box & hit the ref who was just going down the tunnel in the back of the head, ref turns ahead, like what the feck .... biggest cheer of the day.
It's ridiculous. Even if he's a Liverpool fan, a League Cup win means very little by their standards. But to get a League Cup winner's medal himself would be a dream. He's a career Championship/League One player and very few of them have won a major trophy.Quote:

In saying that Malky has always come across as a bully to me and from things I've read so nothing surprises me.
He had just won Hull's player of the season. Nobody builds a team around a centre back but him and Hudson were very good Championship centre backs and would have been a good platform.Quote:
