DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 Did someone say Peter Taylor? No need for swearing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 As said, the fee wasn't his fault and at least he acknowledges it didn't quite work for him on the pitch. For some warped reason Taylor still seems to think he did a fine enough job in the managerial seat here, ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 Before that season he reckoned we could qualify for Europe having lost 12 away games in a row and lost 10 out of 11 at the end of the previous season. The man is a clown who wasted millions. For a couple of million Akinbiyi wouldn't have had the pressure on his shoulders, but at £5 million the pressure was enormous. Having said that, he missed some glorious chances that you'd expect most strikers to score. He doesn't come across as bitter which is credit to him because he suffered serious grief from the crowd. Yeah different pressure from 2 million to 5 million..... but it doesnt alter the fact he was crap for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 Yeah different pressure from 2 million to 5 million..... but it doesnt alter the fact he was crap for us... It doesn't, but he wouldn't have the national press and other fans on his back all the time as he suffered from. He'd have been another striker, but as a club record signing, in a struggling team it was a field day for ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 I know we made a loss on him but we did well to get £2.2m for him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackburnClaret Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 Had the pleasure of meeting Ade a couple of times. He's an absolute gentleman, a really lovely fella. His first spell with us he was amazing, scoring some incredible goals, including a terrific hat trick at Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacnah Posted 29 September 2014 Share Posted 29 September 2014 You can't blame the player, if any player is being overpriced and a manager or club are willing to pay, and pay the sign on fee and increased wages, any player will take up the option!!! Peter Taylor is to blame, no-one else. Ade, on the pitch gave 100% week in, week out, even though he knew he did not have the talent, the guy to his credit, never stopped trying!! my thoughts exactly. One of the reasons (well the one in addition to the fact he wasn't good enough) he missed so many, was because he never hid...always tried. Unfortunately for us and him, Its going to be an issue if you are not quite good enough and your confidence just keeps ebbing away. This one is down to Peter Taylor..... Never to be forgiven....ever!! A complete pudding of a manager who's meteoric rise was only matched by his meteoric fall....with Junior Lewis in tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
