Sheridan secret deal

[upthemaggies]

The phrase that kept on coming up in the first few months after Hardy took over was "The club is being run much more professionally now". Players were saying that, backroom staff and supporters, so by implication it wasn't being run professionally beforehand. The collapse in form was staggering, 6th down 19th from the end of October to the end of November, coinciding with players being paid late and WUPs. To be fair to Sheridan, anybody would have struggled in those circumstances, but he obviously wasn't the right man to drag us out of the mess once things got sorted behind the scenes.

I suppose a lot of people still have that terrible run in the back of their mind when looking at the table this week, also the season in which Derry's side dropped from the play-ofs into the relegation zone and even the Thordarsson campaign, we've been here before, but we shouldn't expect a repeat this season. Just average form between now and mid-November should see us in touch with the play-offs at the very least as we go into the FA Cup weekends. If we're still thereabouts as Xmas becomes new year we could be in for a very exciting 2nd half to the campaign.
We can finally put Sheridan behind us now. Here's to the future!

Oldham might be putting him behind them as well.....another home loss today keeps them rock-bottom

I can hear the axe getting a good sharpening from here......he'll be living off AH's compo for a while

I'm surprised he did not try to sign Fabian Brandy if all the players were that bad. Maybe could have persuaded Oliver Beer-off out of retirement as well.

When I think of Sheridan now, it reminds me of trudging home from a mid-week game (which we'd lost), and listening to Radio Nottingham - John comes on and says something like "I just don't know how to fix this"

Yes,that was a Famous Grouse of his.

If Oldham do sack him I reckon he'll find himself a Canadian Club next.

The Havana Club linked has a 7 years deal on offer. Groan.

That one's definitely on the rocks.

Sounds like an out of court settlement was made, should keep him in whiskey for a few months.

Likes a drink ( according to rumour, allegedly ) does John

Not a rumour that. I can confirm this as fact 100%. I was at a wedding last year chatting to a very famous footballer (who of course I can't name) about Sheridan. Apparently he loved a drink even on match days just before he would play as well. It's very sad actually. He was a very talented footballer. The ex footballer who I spoke to has also managed him and said he dropped him on numerous occasions for being pissed before a game.

And I recall the Dutch police being summoned to some hotel fracas of his before a big European night in the Haig.
