"Ahh, Charlie, how has it come to this?
We signed you as a boy, fought a legal battle to ensure we gave you the best start we could in football.
We played you as a teenager - you had regular high praise and an offer of guidance from our legend Big Al.
We gave you not 1, not 2, but 3 new contracts with pay hikes to match those of young talents in the Premier League.
We tolerated your barren spells, and you dip in form a couple of seasons ago.
We released you to play U21 friendlies when we were short on numbers, and should have protected you from injury.
We, the fans, cheered your every appearance and took you as one of our own.
And now when we are stuggling, when we desperately need loyalty and passion, commitment and repayment of our support…you elect to go on strike! I don’t blame you for being annoyed Kinnear got your name wrong, or spoke to you with rude words. I would too. But if I was genuinely with the fans - as you say you are - I would speak my mind and then STILL pull on my shirt against the Mackems….not for me, not for Kinnear, not for my wages, not for my career, but for my club and its fans.
If you can’t do that then, our one-time friend, goodbye."
Kloke ord rett etter at N'Zogbia drog frå oss. Anbefales å lese for dei som plutselig vil ha han tilbake.
