and see articles about Kieffer Moore or Tyrone Mings knowing that he was the one to pluck them from obscurity. He must be very proud seeing them move for big money and play internationally.
I expect he also feels proud about players like Bart, Waggy and Jonas when their careers and values have gone up

Nah, he was perfectly happy to credit Toby
|
I didn’t say he didn’t, he’s always cited that his son was playing with him at the time at Chippenham.
Do you have the thread where he was crying about (Toby) not getting any credit? That was internet gold. I think there was even an article in the East Anglian :’)

I can’t find the article where he had a bit of a tantrum and pop at McCarthy getting credit for Mings signing, I also notice he’s deleted the tweets from that time too, outstanding interwebs. [Post edited 12 Aug 2020 17:56]

The only blubbing I can see is the threads which crop up again and again licking Mick’s arse and stating how great he was even though he left over two years ago. He’s gone, he’s not returning, let’s look forward rather than continually start threads just to take cheap pot shots at other fans which usually result in the majority agreeing he did a good job but the time had come for him to leave. It’s Groundhog Day.

That'd be great if it wasn't for the insistence that as soon as he went we were free and everything was wonderful under Hurst/Lambert etc which have almost quietened to silence.
Or every time he was on TV someone taking loads of shots at him.
Or every time a player he signed does well someone pops up to explain why it was nothing to do with Mick and he was definitely a very bad man etc.
This place was riven with it and still is. Much like the stop mentioning him he's gone and I just want to slag him off type nonsense.
Apart from that, yeah it's mostly just Fishers' trolling. |  |

Yeah, I agree - it works both ways. It was pathetic that some so called fans continued to have a go at him during the game at Brentford despite it being announced that he was leaving by then. He deserves a lot of respect for what he did here and it’s sad how it ended. |  |

Did just find this TWTD thread from around then though referencing an article with “dictate the game”
I notice the article has been removed, but the comments tell the story...
https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/422219/3846714/
Edit: not sure if the first link works, but this was the poster that wrote and linked the article.

I am never going to knock Mick's recruitment, some of which was very good, but I do feel it gets a bit overstated at times.
Moore was a decent punt who Mick never gave a chance to. His development since has largely been down to Rotherham and Barnsley but we will give him a little bit of credit here.
Mings was with Southampton, so was hardly that obscure and it was Russell Osman that recommended him anyway. Yep Mick saw enough in him and fair play to him. But again did he know Mings would be that good or was it luck? We also signed Malarcyk for the same sort of money and Gotemi (was that during Mick's time here?).
Knudsen was bought for £350k, which is what plenty of other half decent Danish players have come in for. He played for Denmark but let's not make out like he was their captain. He was drafted in through injury, played alright and made a few more appearances.
Waghorn was shrewd but we all knew he was a decent Championship player. Likewise Bart has improved but was known to be a decent keeper.
Mick was looking for bargains and shopping with peanuts. By definition a lot of players he brought in would not be up to much and anyone that looked good at Championship level would have immediately looked like amazing business. I'm not that convinced that if we'd given him a few lots of £2m to spend we'd have ended up with anything better but we won't ever know. |
Thought we signed Mings from Chippenham Town. He was a youth player at Southampton, but he played for Yate then Chippenham I think. |  | | |
