Shaun Wright-Philips vs Ashley Cole
Okay, to be fair, SWP has allowed his dad to do the talking, but let’s compare:
“They [City] called him in and he wanted to sign his deal, sign for the rest of his career so he can be settled and get ready to go [to the World Cup]. But there’s these people like Marwood and Cook mugging him off, treating him like a youth-team player and not someone who wants to be there because of what he thinks Manchester City can do.”
Versus:
When I heard Jonathan repeat the figure of £55k, I nearly swerved off the road. “He is taking the piss, Jonathan!” I yelled down the phone. I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn’t believe what I’d heard. I suppose it all started to fall apart for me from then on. I’d trusted Mr Dein to push the deal through.
SWP still has two years to run on his current deal. He’ll be 30 at that point and no doubt losing a bit of pace. If I was City, I’d spare myself the aggravation of dealing the Wright-Philips family and just see the current deal out.
One thing you can say about Ian Wright though – despite his fame and fortune, he’s never lost sight of the value of money. He’s a clip of him going to war with a London traffic warden over a £100 parking ticket.
