Savage a lil too high on heself and ah feel he full of sh*t! He went to Derby fuh less money. And despite Savage's assets I doh blame Keane & Quinn fuh not falling all over deyself to get he to come Sunderland. Keane's attitude with all his signings has been: This is Sunderland and this is what we have to offer. Either you want to come here or not. If you want to come you're welcome. If not, goodbye and good luck.
...and hasn't that worked out swimmingly.
The fact of the matter is that Savage acting like an arrogant ass by saying what he said. For all we know that cud very well be the reason Keane didn't run him down too aggressively. That kinda attitude cud do more harm than good to a squad ad its morale. JMHO
Seems like acting like "an arrogant ass" would be well in keeping with Keane's own personality...or how quickly we forget?
B&S let me tell yuh a little story that mih belated father use to tell me bout a certain football league that use to go back down in the day. You may or may not be able to place names to the scene, if you can let me know.
Player A slide in on player B seconds after nearly breaking player C leg and have man bawling for he mother....
Referee walk up to Player A after checking to see of player B leg still attached and start to fumble in he pocket.
Player A : Aye ref, wha' is that one. I get all ball! Partner just making a meal of it...
Referee: Listen. It ent have room for 2 asses on this field. And I not leaving until the match done. *Red Card*
* * * *
Just the same way it ent have room for 2 arrogant asses in a dressing room. Either you coach is one or you team captain is one, but not both of them
Savage could say whatever he want. Derby ent staying up no way no how unless they get through on some legal technicality...or they buy hardest..
