What I want most is a very good player who will work hard for the team and make us a better unit. Must be good in the dressing room.If he can do that then I will be happy. Lets face it everyone of us works with someone who has conflicting views to us on certain things, we can make their lives a misery or we can get on with it. I am not trivialising racism which is a cancer which must be cut out of society but he was found not guilty, and working under this shady old justice system I have to go along with that.
BTW if anybody's interested, the conviction that Bowyer got as a teenager arose out of an incident at the McD's that is just off the Limehouse link. He was still at the Valley at the time of the incident, but was a Leeds player by the time he was sentenced.
IIRC, he pleaded guilty to a public order act offence after being arrested for smashing up the inside of the restaurant. I accept that he was pissed at the time, but the violence started because he refused to be served by a non-white member of staff.
This was before the changes in the law that
1. Led to "racially aggravated offences" being charged
2. Led to a jury in a future trial knowing about background, so called "bad character provisions".
Its speculation, of course, but would he have been acquitted if the Hull jury had known that he had behaved in a similar fashion before, as a teenager?
I hope that the price for Bowyer doesn't deflect AP etc from other features of this proposed deal.
I for one would be happier if he didn't play for us.

Have been told this by a West Ham 1st team player Fee around 700 k rising to a possible 1.5 mill.
Great signing IMO
This is not a rumour it is fact.

Did you know that the statement "I have black/asian mates" is racist... basically it suggests your mates are alright but you can't speak for the rest of them...BSB1 wrote:To all those swinging the racist stick around, one of Lee Bowyers best mates is black. FACT. Doesn't mean he's selectively racist, but I doubt he's in the white hood brigade.
P.S Is it racist when we sing "I'd rather be a paki than a scouse" to Liverpool?

Course it is you fuckin idiot,
True of course but definatley racist,
As for Bowyer he was a fuckin teenager he was probably trying to look hard in front of his mates and made a bit of a cock of himself, he aint rascist, whereas that italian **** PDC definatley is you seem to love him still.
Lee Bowyer is a mate of my 1st team player mates :lol: ( I know your all jealous) and will be here next week, in fact he is staying at his house on Friday and should sign Monday morning.
So if your out arond Chigwell / Epping way at the weekend you might see him having a few beers.
Mark my words it aint a wind up.

[quote="Herts Iron"]Going to put my trust in Pards on this one.
If we did sign him, them fair enough, a good squad player. If not, then I wont be too bothered.[/quote]
Ditto. He'll hopefully be a decent squad player for us. I don't see him knocking Mullins out of the side cos Hayden's probably one of our best players.
