Great listen ! You can hear the frustration and disappointment in Ric's comments about the level of commitment and effort from last season's shambles.

Maddening to hear someone like Ric talk about himself and other legends getting turned away by Scholes and Cartwright (who?), just because they're not in the exclusive boys club. And his disdain for the current group of players, their weight and lack of effort. Fucking hell we've missed players like him.

Wow, there are some real revelations in there from some of the behind the scenes stuff. Well run club? Apparently not.

Hope Cartwright & co hear it.
One thing that struck me, Abdoulaye! The club TOLD him to QUIT!!! his country, and we'd give him a 2 year deal.
He quit
The club offered him nothing.
That, is outrageous. On a personal level, professional level, and as a club, what a piss take. The man was a colossus

This is all if true.... 1) It's just a bastard move by the club. 2) He went at exactly the right time, he wasn't good enough to stay. We shouldn't have even contemplated a 2 year deal. I don't find the story surprising though. |

Seems most players who are prepared to graft love Pulis. |

First time I have heard about Pulis turning up at the police station with Pennants girlfriend to bail him out of custody.

Great interview.
A lot of what Ric says is damning to the thought we're a well run club, its more like the chuckle brothers asylum.
How can a legend like Ric, who has so much to offer not be involved at the club. shame on Teflon and Cartman.

Is there a link that isn't soundcloud or iTunes by any chance?

Thanks everyone for your kind words on the interview. Was a brilliant guy to speak to, and a lot of revealing insights there. Kept dropping these little nuggets and we were stunned a lot of the time. He clearly loves the club (he was limping in after doing his hammy at a charity game in Longton) and you can tell he’s pissed off with the way things have gone. If any of you use iTunes, be great if you could leave us a review on there or subscribe to help us out. Planning more interviews like this in future. Is there a link that isn't soundcloud or iTunes by any chance? Hi, try the below link to our Acast page. If that doesn’t work let me know www.acast.com/thewizardsofdrivel |

Well that just shows how much work needs to be done to get us out of the Championship...

Brilliant pod lads. What a great guy Ric is, still loves the area and still involved in the game. Hope he finishes his coaching badges and gets something sorted. As others have said clearly annoyed at how things have turned out.

I'll always pick Shawcross over him for the consistency tbh. |

Fantastic work chaps, thank you. If you've never listened to a podcast before this would be a great place to start - what a warm, generous, insightful and funny bloke Ricardo Fuller is.

Thanks again everyone who's listened - we've got Liam Lawrence on the pod this weekend hopefully, so if there's anything from his time at the club, or how he feels about the club at the moment you'd like him to expand on, fire away!

I assume you've already got "Did you really fall over your dog?" on the list? |
