Danny Andrew

[dickos1]

I’m not sure making all this sort of stuff public is the right thing to do.
It’s kike we’re trying to justify what’s happened by criticising the player and bringing up things that happened behind closed doors.

But isn't that just what a lot of posters want?

People were going crazy last year that nothing was coming out of the club so we didn't know where we stood so i suppose now at least everyone knows. Hasn't stopped minor hysteria. Personally i preferred it when a signing came out the blue, it meant we didn't get excited for no reason like with Newell

I’m more talking about McCann saying he wanted a new left back to replace Andrew a few weeks after taking over and how he couldn’t play how McCann wanted him to.

Just looks a tad like sour grapes

I agree Dickos.
There is no need for him to say stuff like that.

[mushRTID]

He also says Andrew ended up one of best left backs in the league.

I think he said it more to emphasise how much DRFC have helped DA rather than slagging him off

[Danmckay456]

8 pages for a bang average left back who’s had a good back end to the season, we’ve lost miles better players in previous seasons and fans haven’t battered an eyelid.

Glad he’s gone we can move on and get someone else in who knows they might do a better job

So what’s GM supposed to do or say. Nothing?
Then you will be claiming no information is being transmitted to supporters.
Do you think GM is lying about Andrews. Well for me reading between the lines Andrews has got a greedy Agent. GM was quite right to tell us why Andrews has gone imo.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Free press reporting the new left back could be done today, that would be nice.

[DRNaith]

Lots of nudge nudge wink wink stuff on here. We're in the know and we're going to treat you with a little morsel of information and then get arsey if you ask for anymore.

Well, to eradicate any uncertainty, I can categorically state that I don't know anyone at the club, no players, no staff or their families and friends. I don't get to hear any rumours of off the record chats. In fact, the last Rovers player I spoke to was Mark Rankine in Oscars bar in 1989. I know nothing. Zilch.

I think it's safe to say I know even less than you. Although I did speak to Jamie Price in Morrison's in Beverley when he was a Rovers player. I definitely need to get out more!

Are you sure that wasn't Jason Price, as he used to live round the corner from there?  :D

The two players he felt he’d signed in Andrew and Newell and I appreciate he wanted, he’s come out publicly about the players negatively. He’s a professional, first he should not put it out in the public domain that we were close to both. It’s about time until players are signed he does not let it  get into the public domain via local press.

I do agree with that. Maybe Gavin or someone should suggest it'd help get deals over the line if we kept quite

To be fair, I have seen and heard loads of times, when a key person leaves a business for a competitor, the Company that he left have started slagging him off and telling everyone that he was rubbish etc.
This situation with McCann and Andrew (why do people call him Andrews by the way) reminds me so much of it.

[Spilsby Red]

Who is Danny Andrew ? Doesn’t even play for us, so why are people wasting their time on him. He was with us, now he is not. Let’s move on for god sake

Yeah coz we never talk about Paul Green, Michael McIndoe, Laurie Sheffield, Brian Stock, Richie Wellens etc etc etc.

[Alan Southstand]

One of the very first things they advise people not to do, in an interview, is slag off the Company you last worked for.

What GM has done with one or two this last few weeks is similar and I thought he was above such things. Anyway, he's said what he has and that's that, so we move on. He will learn from this summer.

[drfchound]

He (McCann) does seem to be behaving and speaking differently this summer than he has done in the past.

I’ve no qualms about him saying what happened with the contract offer.
But in my opinion now he’s left he shouldn’t be coming to the press and revealing all this stuff about him not being very good when he came and he went to the board asking for him to be replaced.
There’s no reason at all why fans should know that, and it looks like he’s doing what fans do when a player leaves and start saying he wasn’t very good.
It’s a bit embarrassing that the manager is doing it

[Spilsby Red]

Yes we talk about old players but 8 pages worth, no.

[drfchound]

That is probably because DA divided opinion with the fans.
Some liked him and some didn’t.

Also some of us don’t like what McCann has been saying.

[Spilsby Red]

I like DA. I like GM. However no one knows what actually got said or happened and what was said in the press, is all true I suppose

An old Chinese proverb is “ don’t believe all you read in the paper”.

I made up the bit about a Chinese proverb.

Just catching up with this thread..

What really makes my piss boil is posters claiming to be in the know, give snippets of information with no detail nor substance, and don’t back up their arguments..

Put up, or shut up..

10 pages on the Sunderland forum about Reece James. Very mixed reviews of him!

[Spilsby Red]

Mixed reviews from our fans on DA. But he is no longer with us.

Agreed. It's like we have to have an inquest about every player that leaves. It's football for gods sake. Who really cares what was said or not. Every manager has his own assessment of players and their worth. We have no reason to believe McCann isn't an honourable man and if he felt he was let down in anyway by the actions of player or agent, then he is within his rights to respond to questions when asked by the press. What he said wasn't scathing criticism but is a reflection of what alot of us assessed about Andrew's performances throughout the season.

Yesterday's chip paper. Move on.

In fairness ten pages on a Sunderland board is probably the equivalent of 3 pages on our board with the volume of posters and views they probably have.

Not that it matters anyway, it’s what the forums for I guess. I don’t mind and do enjoy the constructive debates and varying opinions, it’s the bitching and arguing that spoils forums like this.

Good luck to Danny though, he wasn’t spectacular by any means but I wouldn’t say he was poor either. It’s a short career at the end of the day and he’s got to do what’s right for him and his family, money will always play a big part in any persons career regardless of the profession.

[Nudga]

I'm glad we didn't have the internet when Rankine, Brevett and Noteman were flogged along with Bruno colliding with a baseball bat.

[roversdude]

Could you imagine the same with Snods too Nudga
Did the baseball bat ever recover
Did remembered our player who got shot too there would have been pages on that speculating
