6 - Richard Dunne
6 - Frank Sinclair
5 - Jamie Carragher
5 - Henning Berg
5 - Michael Dubbery
5 - Rio Ferdinand
5 - Richard Rufus

Richard Dunne developed himself into a loyal professional and gave his all when we struggled badly. He deserved to be treated with honesty and respect. It looks like we have failed to do this.

Well maybe we should have sacked him after he was suspended by Ireland for his drunking antics or when when he turned up late for training at City pissed up when he could be bothered to turn up.

In short, the club owe this bastard nothing!!

Richard Dunne developed himself into a loyal professional

A loyal professional who threatened to leave for Spurs last summer, and was only persuaded to stay in return for a fat new contract.

and gave his all when we struggled badly.

once upon a time. I seem to remember us struggling badly in our most important match last season after he got himself sent off, and likewise, in the 8-1, he wasn't able to give his all, because he was off the pitch after 20 minutes.

He deserved to be treated with honesty and respect. It looks like we have failed to do this.

I am being more honest than I would like. He deserved to be remembered for the good times, but if he feels the need to be be so indiscreet, then we might as well drop all pretences. His complacency and ability to shoot himself in the foot just when his team needed leadership the most made him a poor role model. He wasn't really up to the standards required for this season, and he was a very poor captain. His only qualification as a leader has been his commitment on the pitch, and last year Kompany, Zabaleta and Ireland all regularly displayed more bravery and determination than Dunne.

His comments regarding cook may or may not be entirely honest, but his comment that he was not given the opportunity to prove himself suggests that he is not being honest with himself (how about having all of last year to prove he can step up to the mark?). Self-deception is not a crime, but when he chooses to highlight what he sees as hypocrisy in others, he invites that kind of scrutiny upon himself.

His actions are not respectful towards the club or fans. Attacking the club viciously in one sentence, but in the next saying you are not bitter and wish the club well smacks of passive-aggressive behaviour. Some people just don't say goodbye very well. I guess they just don't understand that you always get what you give.

Spot on. Dunnies easily good enough for cover but I have no real problem him being moved on if it means Ned is closer to the first team. He might have fucked about when he was young but, in the years since, he has more than repaid the second chance the club gave him. Taking the piss out of him makes Cook look like a classless prick.

Your attempts at analysis, both of yourself and Mr Dunne smack of someone more concerned with self gratification rather than someone who is seriously reviewing the career of our former club captain. Instead of quoting your 2nd year psychology lecturer, try recalling the many hundreds of hours of professional endeavour this man gave to us.
If you do'nt find his comments about Mr Cooke alarming, why would he lie ? then you have obviously got your head further up your own arse than even I have envisaged.

I've not tried to review his career, only the last 18 months, in order to put into context his exit from the club.

I'm not saying he lied. I accept he was unhappy, maybe with good reason, maybe not. I'm saying he had no need to say anything. Let's face it, what happened was between him, cook and hughes, it's not anyone else's business. I'm bitterly disappointed that he chose to woman to the papers, and I guess that by being critical of him I've displayed a similar lack of self control. I just can't see what he thought he was achieving by making these comments. Does he thinks the fans are going to turn on Cook?

***edit*** forget about it. he felt the need to bite back at Cook, which is understandable. shame it's soured his exit. 'I am being more honest than I would like' means 'I wish I didn't feel the need to bite back at his comments'.***edit***
