    Exactly.

    Dean was shown nothing but respect in this thread. He was a great servant to the game and an outstanding guy by all accounts.

    I was wondering if any news came out as to why, that's all. Was it a bad diagnosis from a doctor? A loss of a loved one? etc etc, you could speculate all day I suppose. He was depressed about something, thats all we know it seems.

    Well I for one didn't even know he had a history of depression, but I do now.

    i consider it unlikely myself, but then it's obvious even to a simpleton that i didn't start the thread.

    classy as always.

    If you consider it unlikely then you fall into the same boat as me in that this thread is entirely unnecessary.

    Just look at the Stuart Barnes thread for a perfect example of how ill-informed idiots can embarrass themselves.

    Yep, was reading a Stuart Barnes column on the Sky Sports website and had his named stuck in my head. :lol:

    Well done on being a pedantic **** and intentionally missing the point. :good

    not really. i imagine lirva thought it unlikely he'd get an answer, but figured he'd ask anyway.

    If I was Frank I would replace Powell with Poxon. Has Powells job been advertised?
