somehow what he done for us then paled into insignificance once he chose to defect to the enemy
You have to do whats best for your career when your a player, it's not as though players actualy love who they play for, they see it as a job nothing more nothing less...
This is the thing I find most baffling. Michael has generally managed his career really well from a financial point of view. The move to Madrid is probably fair play in my eyes. The move to Newcastle was also his only choice, contrary to the belief LFC were interested(we had no funds)- as mentioned by Parry some years ago.
However the general issue of why he was not loved comes down to his constant reference to England. When he was injured it was 'be back playing for England soon' and this bugged many fans hence we never really idolised him like Fowler or Dalglish. This brings me to my point, why sign for Manu when you are told playing time would be limited? Therefore reducing his chances of playing for England?? I remember Villa and Spurs were interested at the time.
For a player now 31 he has ruined the last 4yrs of his career. Good werds cp, good werds, and true too.
No worries for him now though, living in his mansion up Ewloe Hill, helicopter pad, stables full of his bloody nags.
Don't suppose he's ever going to have to worry about his mortgage payments, leccy and gas bills, wheather he can afford to take his kids away to Pontins for a weekend treat, is he ey?
