I got a text earlier about this, stuck in Dublin so haven't read the story/heard the interview, nevertheless...comments.
Georgie should have kept his mouth shut, this stuff should be sorted behind closed doors. His going public serves only two scenarios...
1. He's letting domestic clubs know he wants out (Nantes don't read the Echo)
2. He's making a definite step to undermine and get rid of Dolan
George's comments (in the other thread) about foreigners coming in and Cork lads being dropped is equally stupid. Talk about splitting the dressing room. We'd all like to see Cork lads playing for CCFC, but with the exception of Hoggy, the ones that are at the required level are currently playing. He says there's a lack of passion because of it? Two Words, Danny Murphy.
Flynny can go to Northampton in the morning with my blessing. He's not worth the wages we're paying him at the moment, he looks like he's just biding his time until he leaves.
George -v- Dolan?
I'm going to tie this into the aside of the biggest mistake in City's history, the first was Bishopstown, the second IMO was allowing a gang of players to push out Derek Mountfield, who was ahead of his time in the EL, something which one of the players accused of being in the 'gang of five' has since admitted.
A note to players:
If there's problems or they're unhappy, fair enough.
You go to the manager first and the Chairman second, you don't whine to the press.
In the end, this will grease the slide to Dolan's sacking, if the camp is split, it's easier to replace a manager than it is to replace half a squad. I'll remain optomistic though, Brian Lennox hasn't let us down yet, and I think he'll handle this to the benefit of the club, one way or the other.
