So, how did we turn into a team of cloggers?

It's pre-season and tactical genius Nigel Worthington is planning ahead for next season. Nigel dreams up some revolutionary tactical idea and asks to see Damien Francis to tell him the bad news

Worthy: Damo, I've come with a new idea for play next season and you don't fit into it. It involves hoofing the ball and playing without a midfield, I'm sure Deano will cope fine without it
Damo: What?
Worthy: I'll keep the Egyptian guy, he might be handy just to show there is some flair
Damo: Fine then, I know when I'm not wanted
Worthy: Whatever, look, just go and find yourself a new club, I don't want players with ability at this one.
Damo: Fine then, I hate you, I'm telling my agent.
Worthy: Whatever, and when you walkout, send in Greeno and Macca because I have some plans for them.

Nigel then gets on the phone to his chairman "Oi Rodger, you know that bloke we signed from Wimbledon with ability, yeah, well, he doesn't fit into my plans and I want him out, can we bribe his agent to plan a move to say somewhere big like Wigan or Portsmouth? **Listens** yes yes, that sounds fine. By the way, we'll need replacements. **Listens** yes yes, that Etuhu geezer at Preston has always impressed me with his work-rate and that's what I need. **Listens** who, that man plays in midfield for Reading? yeah, he's class, we'll have him too, okay Rodg, make it happen."
