This is a very sad and strange situation. Whatever has happened, thoughts must also go out to NML. However stupid he may have been I am sure he now regrets it tenfold....there is always the human aspect, especially when his partner gave birth last June/July. I am sure that most of us have done something(s) in our life and then then said 'what the ****' did I do that for.

I know he blew hot and cold as a player, but he was generally whole hearted and I am saddened by this. Maybe that NW at Boro will put an arm around him and give him another chance....maybe a third after the Peterborough situation.

Cannot think of any other situation at City when this ha happened....even in the days of 'fingers' Farrell...whom I was a great fan of.
