SallyCinnamon Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Club was toxic back then. Think players like Beevers and Spurr really suffered as a result in that environment playing with players who couldn't give a throw. Wood was a good servant considering he came through the ranks, don't know what sort of contract he was offered but if he wanted to jump ship at what he thought was a better career move fair play to him. Hilarious how stuff like this upset us looking back now, he was a woeful defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 4 minutes ago, folger said: We had a good young setup at the back with spurr wood beevers then whoever we could get in on loan Eddie Nolan, Mcmahon, Buxton ect. Signing Purse and appointing him captain before he even arrived was absolute suicide. Purse was a lovely man and great ambassador for the club, he was also the worst football player I have even seen in the flesh. Every game he cost us atleast one 1 goal. ill never forget Barnsely at home he handed them 2 goals. I have always blamed our relegation on the handling of Wood and persisting with Purse. Anyone with even a single figure IQ would have dropped Purse for Hinds who was capable at the time after the 3rd disastrous appearance from DP in a row. I don't have the heart to blame Laws always rated him and we will never know but for me no Purse no relegation we had a mid table team and a formula that worked. What purse needed alongside him was a strong calm head. I have no idea if the timing is correct, but such a head might have been Loovens. I know they both played for Cardiff at some point, not sure if it was together. I'd fully understand if those two had formed a good partnership.

Bluesteel Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Given the people involved at the club and the previous history with Maclean and JP I'm not surprised he was offered a duff contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 His side of the story - basically I left for more money. The way he did it cost the club a significant amount of money and that's what left the bad taste, not the reason he actually left But then the claptrap about furthering his career was quite comical. I did enjoy when he said 'one man club' instead of 'one club man' though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jumped ship simple..couldn't handle the pressure club captain and all...should have been grateful to captain such a great historic club not bail out when the going got tuff and we needed him!!!.... Give up with this pc b.o.l.l.o.c.k.s. Anytime anyone has a difference of opinion do you just band on the pc drum everytime? Doesn't even make sense.

Guest ka58 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 No reason to love him no reason to hate him. what i would say is that when he played for us he gave it his all no doubt. remember being sat on the south stand at bramall lane watching us getting tatered by united and he was absolutely immense - we lost one nil to a scrambly Alan Quinn goal but it could have been more had it not been for a bandaged Richard wood putting his head in front of everything they threw at us. i remember him for that not for leaving when the club was a complete shambles.
