[Albion] If you were Glen Murray....
- Thread starter Cadiz Seagull
- Start date
You overlook two things. Telly is fully singed up to diversity now (and rightly so).
And....he is the authentic and unique voice of Cumbria.
The way he talks when interviewed by the likes of Wrighty, Brighty, Smashy and Nicey sounds good to me (albeit I think he's been advised to rusticate more, so he's sounding much more Cumbrian than a year ago
) 
Personally, knowing that once retired I'd never play professional football again, I'd maybe want one more season, at a lower level where I could still shine. Probably not wanting to move the family, or live out in hotels, I'd look for somewhere relatively easily commutable. Could do a pretty good job for Crawley or Portsmouth, I would guess.
That would be my choice - I realise that he may well have other - or even better - ideas!

I can 99% say that Glenn will want to stay on his PL salary and then go into tv punditry. I doubt whether any championship club would pay him significantly more than he’s earning ( £48,000 approx ) per week on a long term contract to join them at his age and with all respect his pace. His kids are schooled in Sussex ( private ) and I doubt whether he would want to disrupt that.

In his shoes I would stay with BHA but having said that if the offer of a loan to a club within easy commuting distance of Brighton like Portsmouth or a London club came up I would consider it but would never consider a move that meant either moving or staying away in a hotel 5 nights of the week.

Actually you’re right, it’s all about Workington man these days isn’t it!
...I'd learn how to spell my name.
BG, why would this elegant but aging striker grub around in the lower leagues at his age, getting his arse kicked by overweight thugs, when it has been made abundantly clear his future is in the media? He seems quite happy right now to make the occasional on-pitch cameo. He's probably also boning up for his coaching badges, too. A striker coach and part time media representative, interpreting the yob's game for sheep-shagging mountain-dweller and subsistence-fishing mudflat dweller football fans, while living a comfy life in Hove? What would be not to like?

Agreed 100%. Can’t think of anyone better to come off the bench if we need him!

He lives just down the road from me, lovely bloke with some cracking footballing stories.
He devotes most of his energy these days to his charity which is well worth supporting.

I am not saying that he will or even should but as players get older they are reluctant to admit any shortcomings and often feel they are able to still produce the goods, he may think the same.

Bob the cat Wilson punchline was that he was called that because he gave his defense kittens.

Not sure - but according to wikipedia his middle name is Primrose
His nickname during his playing years was Willow, hence the name of his charity.
Legend - time to retire or move down the leagues. As we’ve seen today, he’s not able to contribute anything, it’s a waste having him in the matchday squad.

Glenn you are a legend but should never have been kept in the squad this season. Striking coach would have been a better option. Has not even looked like scoring. I'd rather have one of the young strikers from the U23's on the bench now.
God the shite I got all summer.
