Should've sold him after that interview 3 years ago. Still need to become a bit more ruthless as a club.

Not that simple though is it. He wouldn't go to just anyone.
True, but at least should've told him that he was never gonna play for us again. He might have stayed for a while, but would've been long gone by now. Completely unacceptable that he is still at our payroll by Christmas 2020.

You think? He can be a bit of a git when it suits him..

a determined player can easily run his contract down.

He was our best left-back in the 18/19 season. It’s easy in hindsight but nobody knew then how it would turn out now.

He was injured at the time so it may not have been a good idea to cast him aside. Also, we don't know what Poch's position was, he may have been adamant he wanted him to stay.

Sympathy over this (and we don’t know he was flouting lockdown rules, he’s mitt appeared with the under 23s for a while so he may well have moved up the before the hammer came down in the past fortnight). I really don’t like Danny but if he’s not been drinking, then dark fast roads, wet night, probably no street lighting judging by the part of the country this happened and the type of road it was, it may well have just been an error of judgement at a legal speed, as it only takes a split second tiny error to cause a very big accident in those circumstances. I speak from recent experience, having broken my ribs as my hatchback was tboned on a wet a road by a fast driving van just over a year ago in the early hours of the morning on my way to work (office move doubled an already long commute so I was trying to avoid rush hour). That was at 6am and it was pitch black.

All that said, probably shouldn’t drive at that time on a fast road other than in emergency as chances are your reactions will be down not just because of the circumstances but also sleep deprivation, but we don’t know that there wasn’t an emergency.

My gut would usually tell me to assume the worst, but if he’s not been drinking and he’s not been breaking any tiering rules (for which we have zero evidence) then unless cctv has caught him tearing up road like Nigel Mansell, it’s unfair to assume wrongdoing on his part and we probably wouldn’t of it wasn’t a player for whom the general consensus (rightly in my opinion) is that he brings his issues on him said.

Glad he seems to have escaped without serious injury and glad nobody else was involved.

He's tee-total, I think?

He definitely isn't- he was drinking a beer on the pitch after the Ajax game:

Also for the people saying we should just have sold him- despite the fact that he can be a bit of a prick and isn't the player he once was, he is under contract and has every right to see that contract out. He is under no obligation to accept a transfer he doesn't want, no matter what the club or the fans want. Football fans often seem to forget that contracts are there to protect the players as much as the clubs.

I don't think wasting a year of his quickly shortening career at age 30 in the u-23s is very smart but I guess it's his choice :cautious:
