When I wrote it, there was an interesting reaction from people that know me. Majority were supportive and knew the hard work and effort that goes into something like that. It's a lot, and took over a year of my life writing about some very personal issues that I know for a fact have now gone on to help others - which was the whole reason behind why I wrote it.

Some different people were critical and bitchy, the reason for this turned out to be largely in part because they were jealous. That taught me a lot about people. It wasn't about the book being used as toilet paper, or about differing opinions, it was just an envy attack.

You're doing the same thing here. You can disagree about football or whatever else, but do better in this regard.

Thank you.

I suspect I will now get a spike in sales, along with a spike in negative reviews to go with it!

It's a big achievement, I don't think anyone is going to be a dick about it regardless of what they think of you.

Slightly off topic, but one thing I thought was funny at the time was when @Houchens Head posted the book cover with your name blurred out, even though your name was plastered all over the Amazon product page linked in the first post.

No idea where or why this is coming from about Dabo.
One of my personal favourite players in recent times.

I will never forget him and Kasey celebrating play off win at Middlesbrough in front of supporters. A magical few minutes after game inside and outside stadium.

...hails from a small town just east of Birmingham, United Kingdom

And it turns out he's been a Villa fan on the wind up the whole time.

Same.

Lots of people making fun, but I’m never going to write a book, unless it’s like a smutty / semi erotic novel about garden gnomes that come to life and mate with local domestic cats creating an entirely new species which is half garden gnome / half domestic short haired tabby.

Dare I say it, Dabo was massively mismanaged by MR. Leaving him on that game against Derby where he couldn't walk because MR refused to back a kid (was it Josh Reid at the time?) and then he was out for another month after.

That still baffles me, he was limping and could barely run.

Nah, leave him on to make it worse. Same with Jamie Allen the other week after he had just played against Spurs.

Godden as well when he blocked that shot and twisted his ankle. Played on to 70 mins and then MR is baffled he's out for 2 months with it.

This has always been my number one issue with MR

If the players and medical staff aren't giving him the information he needs, what's he supposed to do - guess?

TBF Dabo was good in spells in the second season in the Championship as well, it was injury hit for him but I certainly remember him playing well in e.g. the two wins over Fulham, beating Sheff Utd 4-1.

He also had that good game at Forest where he had Djed Spence firmly in his back pocket despite playing out of position.

The vitriol he gets from Earlsdon is embarrassing.

I think that terminology is a bit extreme, I'm not wishing him a painful death or something. I loved him in the first season, and he was absolutely instrumental in that promotion, but that was the only really good one he had out of four. He was playing on the reputation for some time following that, and it even stands true to today.

My thoughts on him clearly differ from yours, and I recall you giving people a hard time for asking questions of him in his last season. For me by that point he was well in need of being moved on for some time already.

I think he and Isaac have scored and assisted all of Sweden's last 8 goals...

This is true if you ignore the previous international break!
