Fowler's book

[Kahnee]

After some of the negative comments on here about Fowler's autobiography, I approached it with caution - but have found myself really enjoying it.

Then I got to the Houllier era.

Now, I know he feels he was treated harshly and GH and Thompson wanted rid at any opportunity, and that has coloured his memories, but there's no excuse for some of the selective memories. That just reads as personal propoganda.

 

He claims Sander (form), Babbel (health), Heggem (injury), Gary Mac (end of deal/age) and Redknapp (injury) were "bombed" out of the club.

He claims it was him GH approached about a organising a morale-boosting night-out (pretty sure Redknapp and GH have said separately it was something they had discussed)

He claims to have played well against Tranmere in the FA Cup - I seem to recall a suicidal back-pass that played them in for a goal

 

On the upside, his insight into the Leeds deal (Ridsdale managing to push up the price to £12m after bringing in agents) made me chuckle

Selling him for that money remains the best piece of outgoing business this club has ever done.

Are you already forgetting Sissoko?

Rubbish. Getting fees for both Titi and Song beats that

 

And Momo. And Bellamy of course. And Carson. And Kirkland...

He still played well, scored the goal that wrapped it up too.

Harry Redknapp bought them while Jamie was still at the club, so presumably he asked his son about them.

 

That knowledge alone should disqualify young Redknapp from being taken seriously when talking about football.

Bulls***.

And Bellamy of course.

 

That really wasn't good business.

I think 'bombed out' is just a phrase Robbie uses. I wouldn't look too much into it

Oh and Titi was alright for us. Sh*te for West Ham mind

£4.5m for McAteer, and a good fee (at the time) for Matteo as well.

Actually I think you'll find selling Mike Hooper to Newcastle for 550k was the best piece of business ever.

Keegan got death threats after playing him. I'm not surprised.

[Guy_Incognito]

I really hope people aren't slagging Titi!

 

I always thought he should have played whilst smoking a pipe.

I remember seeing Hooper playing for us at Highbury where we got hammered 4-0. Anders Limpar lobbed him from just inside our half if I remember correctly.... I think Wright got 2 that day but can't remember the other goal scorer.

getting £7m for collymore before people realized that he was bonkers was a good deal too

I'll never forget Dean Saunders fluffing a shot at the kop end and the ball trickling through his legs.
