Pity Fenlon has stated he'd be interested in him then.
He said he's always interested when players become available or some other non-committal/bog standard press release type statementQuote:

This I can understand but there's a tendancy amongst certain Cork fans (not yourself) to gloss over his less desirable characteristics at times that seems needless. It is perfectly possible to admire his talent and still think he's an odious jerk.Quote:

My cousin is a prime example, George is his absolute idol and after he met him it only increased. He went to see n Ipswich game last year and George brought them to the players lounge introduced them to everyone and sent them home with his boots and shirt. And thats just the younger fellas.
Then theres the older fellas who actually hang around with him and some of the other players and also hero worship him.
That comes from more than just talent.
Do I like his attitude towards football at times, no. But knowing what I do about the effect he has on people who meet/know him then the only conclusion I can come to is that he's a sound lad
Met him, have you?Quote:

Oh I agree with that, and its partially the reason I can't post on ccfcforums. However, as the saying goes "hes done his time" and supposedly matured from being a "reckless self-absorbed idiot". To call someone a horrible person because of something they did quite a while ago, apologised for, served their time for, and learned from is, to me, unfair.Quote:

I don't think all people I haven't met are horrible people and/or odious jerks if that helps to bandage the wound.Quote:

Somewhat! If it could be a different player of equal ability or if George realises his place in the world, I'd be extremely happy. I do, however, fear George's "Fallout Syndrome".Quote:

Thank you. You could be a mentor to our less insightful supporters.Quote:

His interview on Newstalk last night reminded me why he's a complete tool.
His claims that he was only negotiating with other clubs to drive a hard bargain with Cork and that he would never have gone anywhere else was clearly some kind of attempt to portray himself as a Machiavellian Monty Burns-esque dealmaker when it actually made him look like an arrogant, and desperate tit.
Again.
Apparently the Glorious Leader Mr Fenlon said that we couldn't get him because of wage demands
