Huh?

Well deserved

Agree, much deserved. Congratulations to him.

Well deserved

 

Really?

Looks like they'll give MBE's to any fucker nowadays.

He deserves it for putting that wanker Gary Neville out of football for such a long time.

He deserves a Knighthood for that.

I'd be interested to know why some feel that this award is well deserved. Basically he's got a gong for going about his business for a few years; doing his job for what? ?50k a week? For how long? 20 years? Woop-de-do!

 

 

No doubt some owd lads who've worked for the same employer for 40+ years are wondering why they've been overlooked.

Lets be honest, the bloke managed to play top flight football for 20 years, 640 games i think it was. That's pretty good that :good:

I know blokes that have laid roadways for 40 years. Now THAT'S hard graft! Do they get a gong?

No but they can fill in these damn potholes round Bolton :tongue:

Aye but the real story at Everton was that he was fed up of Kendall being pissed

 

FACT

He refused to play for us, while's he was still getting paid by us......sh?thouse = FACT.

You know there's alot more to it than that

 

Who do you believe - a model pro or a notorious pisshead?

If my boss was a pisshead, would I be ok to refuse to work ??

 

No, I would be saked.

 

Gary Speed is a sh?thouse, regardless of weather one of the most successfull English managers, liked a drink.

Whether Kendall was previously successful or not, being too pissed to turn up to take training and/or taking it whilst drinking on the job is unacceptable.

 

Do you know for a fact that Speed refused to work? There are quarters that tell a different story

 

That's my point, you're believing the version of events as told by an alcoholic

I'm in the don't understand what he's done ro deserve it party, I can think of a handful of people I know off the top of my head who've done more then he'll ever do to get one..

Ive heard it from other players who played for us at that time.

 

We were playing West Ham away, and needed the points.

 

All the players turned up for the Coach, but no Kendal as like you say he was a pisspot. So Speed was asked to sort the team out with Harvey, Speed didnt like this, stormed off, and left the team, who were a sat on the Coach waiting to set off to London.

 

Kendal was a disgrace at this point, BUT Speed was also wrong to run off. He was our captain, paid very well, and played for his boyhood team, he is a sh?thouse.

I've heard different versions of the story including a version that Speed was told not to turn up, but I believe it's widely accepted that Speed was made to sign a clause not to publicly discuss this matter at all.

 

Says it all really.

 

But it's easy for the mob to blame the player who left his boyhood heroes than look at the deep-rooted problems...then the other sheep follow..baaaaaa

It doesnt say it all. He was made to sign that gag, because of Kendall being a pisspot, and that "Secret" getting out would have been embarrasing for the Club.

 

Speed let his team down, that is from other players mouths.

Aye but if he's such a shithouse that would let folk down why has he played the 2nd most Premiership games and is the most capped Welsh outfield player (hello Ryan Giggs)??

 

Bitter Everton fans were simply upset as they didn't want to be a selling club - similar reaction when Rooney was sold and towards Lescott too
