I can't work out what my favourite bit of this story is (obviously its not the assaulting his girlfriend part) - whether its the fact Michael Rickets still thinks he can make at least another £60k out of football or the fact the court questioned his ability to pay the court costs, stated in the next paragraph as £85.

Ruud Gullit is back in management with Terek Grozny of the Russian Premier League. Bit random.

 

???

 

Aye, weird one. Wonder if they got cash injection or something.

 

Heard Chechnya is nice this time of year.

:lol: I avoided the NFL, Shola, and derby match threads with purpose man. All three give me the urge to be violent and angry. I am busy enough right now without broken laptops and criminal charges.

 

I hate this Shola situation. He had the nerve to reject my country nearly a decade ago. He was too good for us I suppose. Now that he is an old, feeble, and irrelevant man he wants to follow his "roots". He wasted my time for eleven years at this club and now he gets to wear the green shirt? To me it is not funny at all. It is an indication of the abject failure and waste that Nigerian football has become. It's only a friendly, but still, there are young, hungry, patriotic players out there.

What you have to remember is that Shola sees himself as English so he was probably waiting on an England call up which I suppose I can understand as he did play for fairly well for England U21s.  That's probably a bad move on his part because the lad could never have made it in the full squad with the strike competition and now he's too old for Capello to really go for him now he has his sights on the youngsters.

 

I understand your frustration with him, though.  I'm sure I'd feel the same way if the roles were reversed.
