Well I think your a stupid c*** for that comment. Dunne over Lescott mhy arse. You ever been to a game? Or more than one, or maybe to most games for the last 20 years? Or even the last 9 when Dunne has been here. Good player, yes. Better than Lescott- you arehaving the biggest laugh.

1) As a number of posters have said a testimonial was something that was done in days gone by when a player needed som support as they were about to leave the only profession thay knew at the ag of 30-40. Now they have been paid ludicrously well and should have been able to manage their own finances.
2) Richard Dunne was a great player for City. He was poor last season and his time had come. We needed better CHs and the manager has brought players he thinks fit the bill (others may disagree that they are bteer but at the end of the day MH picks the team not us).
3) Loyalty? the club has shown great loyalty to RD. Keegan couldn't have got rid. He didn't and stuck by him. The club were then rewarded with loyalty and good performances. Everyone was a winner. In all honesty i thin it is always very difficult for a club to show loyalty to players who have been great but go past their sellby. WHU could be said to treat Bobby Moore poorly, Utd treated Beckham, Staam etc possrly, City treated Buzzer, lee etc poorly, the list goes on and on. What can they do when they feel a player is no longer needed. it is just a fgact of life.
4) Footballers and the press - most of the issue that is created is down to footballers gobbing it. In what other profession do you get this? We have had Elano using the press and now Dunne. I have been disappointed by both. They may well have a grievance by why the need to air it in public. I left a company I founded amicably in 2006. I signed a compromise agreement that specifically stoppped me from bad mouthing the company. i think this should be done with footabllers who are not always the brightest and who invariably have mixed emotions when they have been sold.
Dunne has been a good servant. I would applaud him greatly on his return. He is a twat however, to cry to the press. he was also a porr captian IMO.

Spot on, it would seem some fans sometimes think these players are on the same money as ordinary folkallan harper said:Not arsed if he was treated badly, I'd love to be a millionaire....
I'm treat badly at work and I'm probably not by myself.

anyone got a link to hughe's quotes re: dunne
when it suits them players are always telling us "its a business"
Well in any business you have to improve to get ahead and this is what City have done.
Loyalty blah blah went out of the window when the crazy wages came in.
If in the summer spuds had offered to double Dunnes money and increase the length of his contract he would have gone and quite rightly so.
But to bleat about your employer letting you go after looking after you and paying you so well for a long period of time is ridiculous . Its life in football,real life is much tougher,so get used to it.

If a husband and wife split after 9 years, of course there is going to be bitterness by both parties. The truth will lie somewhere in the middle of what Hughes and Dunne have said.
You could extend this metaphor further by suggesting that Hughes was cheating on Dunne with Toure, and decided he needed to go?
