Putting aside the issue of him being sacked for now, I think it's a great opportunity to bring in someone more consistent.

At his best NML looked a world beater.. sadly he was rarely at his best, suffered injuries and illnesses that kept him out for some time and if the team was playing poorly he also played poorly.

Being completely clinical about it... NML has 3 or 4 exceptional games a season, 6 or 7 decent games and the rest he's either injured or poor.

I think fans are forgetting how ineffective he can be and just remembering the exceptional moments he's brought.

It's all a bit sad really but does free up a space for someone else.
