As I stated, his absence may be beneficial due to the ‘wavelength’ differences.
It's funny because everything you say here applies for me to Colwill, not to turn this thread into another religious war. Obviously Rambo has earned the benefit of the doubt in his career as he's hit heights that Colwill hasn't and never will, but I do wonder why one gets destroyed for not single handedly changing games while often playing out of position under this manager, and the others inability to change a game get excused away as having crappy teammates.

I do agree with the original premise by the way. He's done, he's not a consistently impactful player even at this level (for whatever reason) and I hope he retires rather than try to play through injury another season. I'd love for him to find a place in the coaching staff under an experienced manager, as unlikely as that might be with the idiots we have running our team.
