My main issue with the ALF sale was the paltry sum we got for him. Guys gone and broke scoring records there hasn’t he? There was fck all point him staying here when parkysaurus doesn’t know how to use him.

I can't remember us getting a fee for him, OD. I thought we released him as a favour.

Mutual cancellation of his contract.

A mate of mine has just bought Mark Little's house off him in Worsley - "Litts" has gotten himself a nice little move to Swansea in the summer, he says

Good on him. Can't blame him at all.

Yep, odd how he has been ostracised - Parky even came out and said olkowski form dipped (understatement!)...we even had Lowe in at right back around Christmas. Good luck to him.

Kind of get the impression that he may be disappointed that he got paid....

For all the plaudits Parky has got for handling himself the right way he has fallen out with a few players and cut his nose off to spite his face with them on a few occasions. I suppose there’s not many a manager who hasn’t...certainly none of our last few...

All managers from the humble to the mighty would struggle to top a 60% success rate with signings. For instance, I'm not surprised at all that Grounds wasn't in the conversation for the left-back role last night. Other ostracisations are more confusing. Little is unfortunate in that Olkowski is probably the better player – although the utter absence of Little is odd - but Oztumer has surely been worth a last-20-minute cameo.

Oztumer is fecking bizzare. He might not be up to it physically for 90 minutes but he has a record scoring goals and clearly is more forward thinking than any of our centre mids at a time when we couldn’t create a chance for shit - AND he was Parkys marquee signing this summer AND we’ve had a net loss of attacking options in January. To not get a look in. Mental.

I’d also forgotten Grounds existed to be honest.
