Hi guys, For all those who don't know, I have now left Leicester and the madness of League 1 to take over at Cagliari in Seria B. Will be more than happy to receive any emails from you regarding my players.
you are that active in the media - id be suprised if anyone didnt know lol
to all the managers that keep emailing me re feeder clubs - most of my players are rejoining Steve in spain - and if i have any spare i will be going through old emails to see how asked first after Steve

Steve
You submit a fair share of media mate yeah lol - but always gives me something to read on my commute home from work - so im hardly critical!

I do have a list of other teams to loan out to do to many enquiries. There may be an option this season as there is a limit to how many Steve can take as he has his own plans for team building and we are mates so we try to sort the best way out for both of us
The managers concerned I have emailed today actually to discuss
What seriously dented your chances, past agreements or not, is that i didnt take kindly to you posting private emails from the Chelsea manager on another message board some of us are part of. Whatever the subject matter, that goes against the grain for me, im sorry to say, and I find it disrespectful. Thankfully Drew is a good guy and I actually thought the email in question was both polite and fair so his integrity is not in question - as it rightly shouldnt be. It doesnt reflect that well on yourself however
For the record - our deal was only that I would try and help you out with players. I have offered you squad players over the last 2 seasons and you didnt take them which is your prerogative
Name me a player you have offered then mate ? I think not ! 1 player you offered and that was for a hefty transfer fee. If you cant stick to your word Just dont make a deal in the first place. Not forgetting this deal was 2 seasons ago now. And yes I did show an email on the Message board and I have been crapped in my eyes just for applying for different jobs !
According to my saved PM's - i offered you Ian westlake on loan on two seperate occasions so i seem to have no issue sticking to my word
I also only offered to try and help you with a loan player (which i did) so i wont lose any sleep over your comments.
Reading between the lines actually - I dont think it was just you applying for lots of Jobs elsewhere. You also kept dropping players for games. I wont go into it any more as it sounds like im fighting Drew's battles for him, he is quite capable himself. There is also no battle other than which you are making. It would have all stayed private if you had any sense of privacy
I dont want to enter into a silly message board to and fro with you GG. You know my thoughts and thats that. Other people might view your actions differently so what are you worried about?
Back to the original topic - good luck at Cagliari Stevie - Boy!!
You have obviously mis-read between the lines mate.I asked Drew if I could drop a certain striker who wasnt doing the business for me. He said no so i didnt, and stuck to our agreement 100 percent. And im sure he will back me up in saying that. Ian Westlake was a player I released wasnt he so why would i have wanted him back ? I have been 100 percent truthfull in everything i have said and allways make an effort with all managers i deal with. Good luck at Cagliari anyway Steve !

I sent you an email at 10.32pm last night according to my sent items mate! Let me know if you didnt get it and ill resend
Gareth
Like I said, I have no want to have a silly back and forth exchange with you. I may have some facts wrong, you may be very honest, but the bottom line is that you pasted private emails on a public message board - and I think that always undermines all of your points. It puts question marks over how much other managers can trust you doesnt it? Perhaps other managers will be less bothered, perhaps its not the issue i see it as
It's always the weekend I'm most busy people decide to argue!!
Maybe a little less time arguing points neither can actually prove and more time writing media or contributing to MOTFA would be a better use of this 'down time'?
Thought I might have my two pence worth while this discussion is still topical....
Gareth the fact you posted my entire email was not exactly great and you now have a private message that you will probably ignore - or post aswel - it showed a total lack of confidentiality and totally disrespect for me which is why I will never deal with you as a manager again.
I am seething that you feel you have been **** on and even calling me a bar steward !!!! not big enough to put these points to me instead you use a private message board where other FA managers interact making me look the bad guy well all I can say is if you had stuck to everything we agreed there would have been none of this so I suggest you take a long look in the mirror and you will see the real **** - **** looking back
