What would be the point of saying something?
The player threads on here are a mix of this:
'He's said nothing, he's a disgrace, doesn't care about the fans!'
and
'I wish he'd just shut up with these empty promises and let his football do the talking!'
He should have stepped forward as Club Captain, not only off the pitch but on it as well, he couldn't motivate himself or his team mates, he went missing and as Club Captain that's a disgrace.
And he would've been slagged of by most for doing so IMO, it's no win for players in a losing team.
Our club captain still hasn't had anything to say about our relegation, which is a f***ing joke.
He would have been damned if he did, damned if he didn't really.
If he'd came out and apologised or whatever, people would have slagged him off for his lack of form and said that what would he care he'd be gone anyway, and with him not saying owt, he's a disgrace for not talking about it. I haven't read any quotes from the Boro captain saying sorry, etc.
If he was any type of club captain he would have gained the respect of the fans. He was only ever made club captain by Keegan to stroke his ego. He was, and is, a useless motivator on and off the pitch and couldn't motivate jelly to set.
Shearer was a s*** captain as well.
Shearer was a great captain.
