David Whittle?

[Neil]

I heard a rumour (from a Waterford fella) that City are looking to sign center-half Whittle (I think that's his name) from Waterford Utd.

He played in the World Championship U-20 Irish team a couple of years ago.

Not much about him but have a looksee here

Is he not the guy who was fined 2 weeks wages recently by the new Waterford manager becuase he was a disruptive influence in the dressing room? Rumoured to be the root of dressing room unrest at the blow-ins recnetly (many from city?).

Talk about ironic eh?

interview with WUFC manager from eircomleague.net:
"In my mind that philosophy needs to be continued to ensure we get a balanced and talented squad capable of winning games. Unfortunately, when I arrived here there was a certain resistance within the squad to the arrival of Kevin Flanagan, Colin O'Brien, Andy Myler and Pauric Drew, just because they were not from the area."

"That in my mind was not right and goes against every principle of equality we hold in this country." In his reluctance to discuss internal club issues in detail, this is probably the closest reference to the disciplinary matter with David Whittle, who aws thrown out of the club because of apparent attitude problems.

McGeough claimed that Whittle was a negative influence on the club and that other players had stated their unhappiness at his presence. A League tribunal was held last week on the matter.

In confirming the ruling from the tribunal, McGeough suspects that the terms were meant to be confidential and he plans to keep it that way, despite the speculation in the national media.



Don't we have enough people like this?!
