Its grim up north for Danny

[MJG]

Sad to see Murphy get a right kicking from Blackburn fans on one of their forums.

His choice to go there so no sympathy from me I'm afraid:028:

[BedsFFC]

And they think even less of etuhu.

[RaySmith]

Blackburn fans are a disgrace for what they did to Keane.

[GloucesterWhite]

It's true it's grim up north. As for Blackburn fans, they seem to prefer booing to getting behind their team.

[Airfix]

But... but... but... they were the best team in the Championship 2000-1*

Not much different than he got from sections of our crowd / forums from the beginning of his time with us to the end unfortunately. Lets not forget his legs 'went' at tottenham and the start of every season for us.

[SKSW6]

Looks like the dream of welcoming him back to the cottage as we play Blackburn in an FA cup tie next season are dead then.

[Lighthouse]

Murphy is a great Pro but age hits us all and he is being caught out now. Problem is we have never replaced him. Or rather replaced the Murphy of old. I don't feel sorry for him as he is paid well. But naturally it is sad that his playing days are nearly over.

We should dedicate this to all those that said he still had another 2 years of Premier League in him !
It was clear last season he could not longer do much more than 60/70 minutes .

Age catches up on everyone .
It may too as well for Karagounis ( though he seems to be in much better shape currently ) .

God Blackburn fans !! If they spent as much energy getting behind their side as they do booing and moaning they might actually make a difference.

Sean Davis winner up there is still one of my favourite Fulham goals for all kinds of reasons.

Reinforces the fact that moving him on was the right thing to do.

We had seen the best of him.

I always thought he would stay and start going down the coaching route though, he would be good at that.

[Wimbledon_White]

I still love the moody bugger. I would love to see him back at the club in some sort of coaching/managerial capacity in the future.
I reckon with his bite and (former) desire to win (for us) he would make an excellent man manager/motivator.
Thoughts?

I refer the honourable gentleman to a reply I gave some threads ago.

Players like Murph, intelligent and/or inspirational midfielders, often seem the ideal managerial types, but for every Laudrup there is a Rioch, McAllister, Souness, Ince, Lee, Todd, Wilkins, Strachan, Brolin, Kendall, Reid, Ball, Robson (Bryan), or Ardilles.

Inspection of the credentials of current top managers reveals no common denominator. Previous playing experience varies from 'all-time great' like Laudrup to 'zero' like Villas-Boas and all stations in between.

None of this changes the admiration I have for Danny Murphy as a Fulham player. Nor my opinion that we were right in letting him go when we did.

CMG you are in danger of getting banned for writing a sensible well constructed comment about Murphy on this board

I endorse what you said.

DM was a God when he was here and had a total winning (but not at all costs) attitude which we lack in our current team

He did what any of us would do when faced with a one year contract at say £50 and a 2 year contract at say £40. What would any of you do in his situation even in our humdrum walks of life?

[Rupert]

I like the comment that he should be reported to the PFA.

I can just picture the scene, Danny Murphy arriving at the training ground in his expensive new car, gets a phone call from the PFA, "Danny, the Blackburn fans say that you aren't very good any more."
Danny replies, "And?"
PFA says, "Er....well, that's it, really."
Danny replies, "Okay, thanks," and goes on with his normal activities.

[EJL]

The last bit of the middle comment...

The Blackburn fans are probably right about Murphy now. But to say that he wasn't that good of a player in the past is moronic.

It's true it's grim up north. As for Blackburn fans, they seem to prefer booing to getting behind their team.

lost so much respect for Blackburn last season via the way they treated Steven Kean, people need to remember that Danny only moved down for the sake of his Legacy here at Fulham, he won hearts and minds and decided unlike AJ and Bobby not to move to QPR like he was offered. also looks like Chelscum fans will miss out on the Champions League, they also as they seem to approach Rafa in the same manner that the Blackburn Rovers supporters  Kean which we all know how that story ended, tbh the only manager i have ever booed was Sparkless after the West Ham 3-1 defeat on Boxing day 2010 like many of you said supporters should get behind the side and not get on top of the manager, that's why when we were struggling earlier i wasn't too impressed with the Jol out supporters.
