If people can’t look past a throw away comment from a rookie manager then they are pretty moronic in my view. The way that quote keeps being brought up is just daft.The manager was absolutely stupid to say that Mayor is better than Carey. That raised expectations among fans- we were expecting some sort of superstar.
If Mayor had signed without any hype, then I don't think fans would be so critical of him. He was a League Two midfielder who had spent many years with Bury. Not a high profile signing.
Give the bloke a break. He is what he is.
