the issue was not whether he was good enough. it was whether he has the attitude to succeed, and whether he fits in with the formation and tactics.

slade thought he was more trouble than he's worth, the same as managers like allardyce and ferguson before him. he's not alone in holding that view, in other words.

But we signed him while on trial,yet gave him back once found not guilty?

he's shown he is trouble throughout his career, and that stands whether he was found guilty or not of this particular offence, thats why his career hasn't progressed like a player possessing that talent should.

on your second point, no i'm am not saying that, otherwise i would have said it in my post. i suspect cost cutting and players not fitting into tactics would be the reasons slade would cite behind their departures.

Couldn't afford his wages anyway, so it's a non story really

The truth is,that Slade cant handle quality players. Plus of course on some players,Tan tells him who he can keep or get rid of,like a puppet on a string.

Good luck to him :thumbright:

Slade never gave him a chance, just like with Mats Daehli.

Exactly why I don't believe the Matt Jarvis rumour. He'd be a great player for us, but for some reason Slade always gets rid of the player with creativity?

Ravel Morrison is a liability. No doubting his talent but i'm glad we're shot of him & the circus he brings.

Formation and tactics???? :lol: have we got either :roll:

can't blame Slade for this one...No manager he has ever worked under has been able to control him.

He will be bombed out of this new club within 6 months...waste of talent and a waste of space

Couldn't agree more. He's also a massively overrated footballer who you can never trust to consistently perform. Not good enough for us and I don't know what Lazio are thinking. They will soon be realising their mistake and try offloading him next summer. Ravel Morrison will achieve absolutely nothing in football. He lacks so many things necessary to make it as a decent footballer. Attitude, professionalism, character, determination and work ethic being some of them.

So managers at ncastle, liverpool, swansea, sunderland , west brom , man city have all been puppets? Because everyone of these clubs owners have say in player policy to some degree!! I remember certain someone being called a puppet of our previous owner? :thumbright:
