Taylor has nerve to slag off Lineker! (23/07/02)


Just when you thought you couldn't despise the pathetic excuse of a former manager any more, Peter Taylor excels himself by having a pop at Gary "Leicester legend" Lineker.

And then goes on to say Lee Marshall was one of his best signings!

Gary has described Taylor as "a good coach and a good bloke" but claimed "the money was not spent as wisely as it could have been".

Taylor insisted on Sky Sports that some of his buys have turned out to be successful for City and it was wrong for him to take all the blame for things going wrong at City.

"If Gary feels like that, I am disappointed that he did not say it to me face to face when we were doing work together for the BBC during the World Cup," said Taylor.

Having a dig at Gary, he went on to say,

"I have to say I am sorry that someone else who has never wanted to be in the position to sell and buy players as a manager should say that and I will fight my corner."

Then came the classic moment when he finally admitted he ballsed up on Ade, but he then rendered us speechless once we'd stopped laughing with his comments over the players of the season last season...

"My only regret was that I spent too much on Ade Akinbiyi and I've been judged by certain people on that one player.

"I hold my hands up and say I made mistakes (no you bloody don't! You blame eveybody and everything but yourself you arrogant little man!-Ed)- but not everything was a mistake and a Leicester fan's website I looked at picked out three of my signings - Ian Walker, Lee Marshall and Callum Davidson - as three of the best players last season."

OK, own up...which one City fan though Lee Marshall had a good season?!

Taylor, we have one thing to say to you. They named the North Stand at the wonderful new Filbo after Gary today...they wouldn't even name a toilet after you.
