One of my favourites Ed001. I rememper the marriage guidance of SAF to Evans in a press conference. He clearly was one of SAFs favourites so he wanted to evolve (at least in my eyes) and suggest a calm life with and a marriage for Evans. I was suprised the hate about his last transfer to us, he came for free, he came for rotation, still at spells he was our best defender (ok that says more than our defenders i guess but still), i can't complain. Thanks again Ed.
{Ed001's Note - I was surprised he drew hate on his return, it was one of the few recent transfers that made sense. Just like it makes sense for him to go into coaching there too.}

A proper professional footballer. So much more could be said about him but that one phrase covers it.

Letting Evans leave and signing Maguire for 80m has to go down as at best gross negligence, at worst industrial sabotage.
In any other industry the transfer dealings of our club over the past decade would prompt a full blown investigation into potential fraud, corruption and money laundering.
Literally I'm fairly confident that any 13 year old with an interest in football would have done a better job of identifying players and setting sensible valuations on them, not spending above that.
The club valued Antony at 35m, 40m at absolute most, yet then spent nearly 90m on him. Other than criminals who the f**k does that?

Great write-up, Ed001. I know I'm biased, but I love the guy. An NI hero.
Great to see him getting involved on the coaching side.
