its not that he dislikes us! his emphatic no was because of the state the clubs inDoes he dislike us?
He was saying on TalkSport this morning that he would manage England, Liverpool and Newcastle for free, but when asked about Cov was a definite and immediate "no" and then laughter from him and co-presenter.
If so, what's his beef with us? He was idolised by fans during his spell here and I would therefore hope holds some affection - the hat-trick against Arsenal and the boxing day brace v Villa are still some of my favourite memories, but did I miss a bitter falling out when he left or is it simply popular to dislike us?
He campaigned long and hard for Newcastle to recall Armstrong from us.
We're nothing really special to him, he's nothing really special to us.
We paid his wages for a while, he did a decent job for us for a decent part of that period. Then he moved on. Time we did too.
Looking at his entire career with us; could he be grouped with those players who were great on loan but went steadily downhill once signed full time?
Does he dislike us?

That may be so , but he SCORED GOALS !!!Perhaps he thinks it is just a thankless task...and the studio titter is the old, Coventry is a joke club. After all we did sign a washed up overweight Scouse comedian as a forward..when he had the speed of a tram!
Except Quinn has been there & done it at the top level in the what was & is regarded as the highest level of league football...Ponticelli just looks like a good prospect in L2A poor man's Ponticelli.
Hmm not sure where all this Quinn bashing has come about he was brilliant for us for a lot of his time maybe he was perfect fit with pace we had around him.....hell he even made Rosario look half decent!!! He had far more striking instinct and goalscoring ability than any of our squad at this moment in time calling him a poor mans Ponticelli is ludicrous!
It didn't matter who played with him. All he needed was the ball to come to him. He didn't ever run down the pitch with someone else. But players bounced off him. And he was lethal in front of goal.Actually I will forever contend that Rosario made him look good rather than the other way round. How many Goals did Quinn score after Rosario left?
The point is that he was dreadful without Rosario to do the running and make space for him. By 1994 he was a lot fatter and pretty useless tbfIt didn't matter who played with him. All he needed was the ball to come to him. He didn't ever run down the pitch with someone else. But players bounced off him. And he was lethal in front of goal.
If he played for us now he would just be called lazy by many.
Fastest bloke in the premiership over 3 yards by a country mile! Knew where the net was. And in those days plenty of players from the big clubs never got a sniff when he got the ball.
That may be so , but he SCORED GOALS !!!
Most of his goals were in the first six months if not the first 10 games. He scored about 8 in his second season.
True enough.He was a one trick pony and useless in his last 6 months at the club.
