I just can't get my head round this one. I am totally amazed. OC has committed character suicide. Burnley for Bolton. It is exactly like Paterson to Aberdeen, Robertson to Hearts and Rooster to the Tangerine Dream. Sometimes it is better to stick with the devil you know rather than the devil you don't. That's probably a bit unfair on our guys. Steve, Robbo and the Rooster (first time round) had great teams. So good in fact that Stevies goalkeeper actually built my folks new fireplace whilst concurrently beating Celtic. All in a days work for the average Grantownian..... I digress. I also once punched his son in the face... 200 lines. I will not punch the B team goalkeeper and the son of the only footballing genius this town has ever produced in the face for pinging my ears and then push him down a set of stone stairs... I?d probably be up in front of the Children?s panel nowadays.
Just been reading the Clarets fan page. These guys are really upset. This is a guy who has brought the whole community together, built a reputation on clean living and integrity, taken a very average side, turned them into a great team, gained promotion to the Premiership, won some really big games (lost mostly on the road...sound familiar) and then...and then just walked away. OC has left a trail of complete devastation behind him. If I was a junior Claret this week would be the week the dream fully died. I now have no faith in the integrity of football players/managers.... but then there is St. Maurice of Malpas. 8,000,000 games for the Tangerine Dream. Total commitment, totally brilliant. Reminds me also of a certain Rossco Tokely.
By the way has anyone seen Terry since OC left Burnley. He isn?t working in his garden is he?
