Just watched this and was well impressed, he comes across as another player with genuine confidence and positivity. And, like Sinclair, relatively open and honest which makes for a much more interesting interview.
Also was great to hear that he has had a partnership with "Bodinhio" before, I didn't know that. Now all we need is for Lines to rebirth himself as a box-to-box left winger and we've got a championship winning team.

Comes across well. He's a player with promise, I haven't seen a bad write up from him yet!

I think he should do all the interviews from now on. Quite nicely-spoken, erudite, seems well-educated, only scratches himself a little bit (unlike DC and Linesy), what's not to like?

No "you know what I mean" - I recall JJ the Tool was terrible in interviews. Martin Allen and Harry chancer Reeknapp are also particularly bad

What a brilliant interview! Certainly the best out of the squad to speak on camera so far, with the exception of Mansell perhaps.
The boys got some decent knashers on him n all! Great to see, now for him to bring on a no nonsense dude beard like his pal Sincs!

Yes I agree that he did give some terrible interviews, but thank goodness that it's all behind us now. Plus of course he also did have a bad attitude, and some other very unfortunate traits . . . which thankfully is all behind us now. At a cost to our club, by the way. Is he still looking for another employer, or has he managed to get himself fixed up? Does anyone know, or care for that matter? I've drawn a line and moved on. But it does still irk though.  |

And as for moving on, I doubt if the club have yet financially recovered from paying Colchester United a transfer fee (undisclosed at the time it's true, but likely to be pretty hefty nevertheless), and then watch J-J O'Toole waltz off into the sunset at the end of the season, without the club being in a position to recoup any of its outlay. I realise totally that all of this is in the past now, but it still doesn't sit too well with me. But in fairness to the player, we cannot blame him for negotiating the best possible deal that he could achieve. It is undoubtedly the fault of the club at that time for sanctioning such a contract. Thankfully we do seem to have learnt from our previous mistakes. |

He voluntarily walked away from a lucrative two years remaining on his deal. He might not have covered himself in glory towards the end but he is far from the villain that he is portrayed as on here.
As for Wilder, if seems to me he regularly says one thing and does another.

That just leaves his transfer and signing-on fee's to be accounted for in the financial report doesn't it, or have I missed that as well?  |

I don't remember us paying a transfer fee (we may have done, I don't care either way), but in return for paying him a signing-in fee, we got him signed on. That's how it works, you don't get it back if it doesn't work out. He's no different to any other player in that respect, is he? |

Yes, according to the local and national press we paid an undisclosed fee for him, and according to some reports the fee was ''substantial.'' If you recall it was considered by many that we spent the whole of our transfer budget on him, although of course we cannot possibly know that. You say that you ''don't care either way,'' but please bear with me if I have a different opinion. After all the financial well-being of the club should be of paramount importance to the supporters. As for the circumstances of him leaving the club after serving 12 months of a 3-year contract, you appear to know more than I do on the matter. |

I am not sure where information comes from but I do know that a few years ago I was aware of a sponsorship deal that Rovers did with my employer and the amount involved was £10k. The journo's were looking for information and quoted an amount of £100k on the BBC and local press . It was absolute twaddle and taught me that they dont let the truth get in the way of a story . |

Forget the Tool, I'm very glad we have Leadbitter on board. Aside from his obvious level-headed nature which translates into nice mental play, he also has that pace that can be a nightmare for any defence if he plays RWB instead of RB. Just fix his defensive game a bit and we have ourselves a right-back for seasons to come... or for a hefty fee.

Thankfully we do seem to have learnt from our previous mistakes. I was a member of the now closed official forum when we went through that Summer of will he, won't he sign. I don't think I have ever witnessed so many people go close to mental in pushing our club to pursue him. It got embarrassing with the amount of tweets sent to the player, directly. If you remember he also put up a profile photo of him, wearing the quarters. Although many now deny it, there was huge pressure on Ward and Higgs, to get him into the club. Ward himself said that he could have got 3 players, for what was spent on JJOT. Hindsight eh, it's a wonderful thing. Shameful human being who has no allegiance to anyone but himself. The pity is that I think he may have had the talent to make maybe a good championship player but I think that his record will now be a permanent blot against that happening were he to genuinely shift up a gear and sort himself out. He has his Demons does that lad. I feel there is more to it and that he may even be suffering from mental illness. He certainly shows the self destruct element that is prevalent in bipolar sufferers. |
