Sounds like he doesn't have a club so he's fishing for a job?
One more point |

Judas Iscariat never got another job after being in the team of 12. and it seems that no other organised religion wanted him either.

Good article - thanks. I know he left under a cloud but for me it’s hard to blame him personally. He was 15 and to be honest, who can really say they would turn down the premier league in that situation? It didn’t work out but he seems to have learned from it and made a career for himself on the game. Good luck to him, I say. To err is human, to forgive, divine.

All he had to do was sign a contract with the club that had looked after him for 10 years. After that, if he wanted to move on Palace would have received a realistic fee for him but I think we got £700k for him at tribunal. Impossible to say if he would have progressed at Palace but hindsight shows that the move to Spurs wasn't the beast for him in the long run. I know someone who knows him and apparently he is a nice fella.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Every so often, these sort of articles crop up about him. He must be well connected in the media world? Fed up with hearing his sob story.

I'm not sure that's what happened after the taxman and all his hangers on had taken their slices. If I recall correctly Warnock said that he was willing to build the Palace team around him so the financial rewards would have come had he stayed
