He's on 50k pw.
I know the guy personally.
If you know him personally, then do you have any idea why he hasn't been much cop since he's joined?
By his words.
He has been frozen out, sometimes doesn't even get told when to report to training etc.
I don't find that hard to believe, but he's obviously lacking in professionalism. If he cared at all - not necessarily about NUFC but about his career - he wouldn't need to be told when to report for training. I'm sure if he showed an interest he wouldn't be frozen out since he's already an employee of the club.
He joined at a very difficult time, and he was a massive contentious boiling point in amongst the whole Keegan vs Wise debacle, so I can afford him some leeway. Where has he been in the last 3 years though in terms of application and effort?
Hope he can revive whatever is left of his career and be a Sibierski type figure for us this season, even though he's not fit to lace the big bald giant's boots.
