Should have listed himself on EBAY, cheaper than paying them idiots in ‘new’ media!

This guy used to be one of my favs to watch. Sort of sad.

haha one of his “brand values” on the picture is “cool”. maybe to appeal to all the 8 year old football managers?

Newcastle do not come across well in this brochure. Making him “complete” the beep test after recovering from a virus… wow…

In my opinion, we’re doing exactly what the brochure wants us NOT to do – and that is to believe the media speculation regarding his fitness, drive to succeed etc. Just because no footballer has done this kinda thing in the past, doesn’t mean we should mock it.

After all, people do secretly believe that he has been unlucky with injuries and was in a ridiculous club, so all this brochure has done is make it black and white (no pun intended) for potential buyers that might be naive enough to believe media crap.

If I was a club manager interested in buying him I’d pull out right away just so I won’t be included in this embarrassment.

P.S. Daryl, your comparisons to timeshares and Dr. Nick made me giggle out loud.

Maybe he should move to the MLS like Beckham did… he would be incredible

Oh, Ken, if only that were true. MLS would break him in two in about thirty seconds.

Will this lead to lesser players trying to flog themselves to the highest bidder! maybe taking ads out in the local papers or handing out flyers to visiting management.

That’s kind of sad isn’t it? It’s got a touch of Rocky Balboa/The Wrestler about it hasn’t it? A former great reduced to whoring himself around to the highest bidder, shit, at this rate we might even see him in a Wolves shirt.
