RANGERS FANS

 “indicative of most run of the mill jobbers from England thinking they’re better than what’s up here. He’s wrong. A complete nothing.”

“Awful player who doesnt look interested. Another who thought he would come up to Scotland to an easy life.”

“A testament to how overrated the championship is. 36 games last season in a Leeds side that walked the league. He wouldn’t be a starter in the Hearts or taigs squad and I imagine a few other teams in the league.”

“Promoted two years running and neither of the clubs signed him, it’s no surprise he’s useless”

“He’s been a disgrace”

“A fat, lazy disgrace.”

“15k a week he’s apparently on.
Disgraceful.”

“Lazy, slow, nonentity of a player. Division one Down South at best. 
An embarrassment for a so called athlete/professional player. “

“Another disaster 
Another prick “

“Somehow came on and looked slower than the players that had been playing all game”

“Slothwell.”

“a fraud”

“There’s nothing to him – he just doesn’t do anything”

“Made of marshmallow. Gets bullied off the ball by folk half his size.”

“He isn’t fit. It’s clear as day”

“Fitness would help him.”

“Clearly not physical or fit enough to play up here.”

“Hes been extremely underwhelming but the fact he clearly isnt fit doeasnt help.”

“He is in really bad shape.
Hes also the wrong side of 30 and the decline is clearly setting in to make matters worse.”

“an out of shape has been trying to fool himself that he can play.”

“I got called out by several folk for describing him as no more than a steady Eddie, based on what I’d seen of him for Leeds.
Looked ok as a makeweight in a team/squad that was topping the league & surrounded by better players than the rest of the division, bossing most games.
Enough evidence now to show that calling him a steady Eddie was polite, at best.
Hasn’t got what it takes to be a force in a Rangers midfield.”

“Looks ‘ok’ when flanked by better players.
Struggling when he’s meant to be the ‘better player'”

“Surrounded by good players he would probably do fine – he is tidy enough with the ball – but he is incapable of forcing the issue if expected to be the main man.
He doesn’t really do anything 1000s of players out there couldn’t do, majority of which wouldn’t be on 15k a week”

“Great payer in the championship though. And every English guy’s nan could get a game in Scotland, so obviously championship boys all stroll it up here.”

“Hes useless, that championship must be seriously  poor if he stood out.”

“it seems a case of a good player who just can’t handle the responsibility of playing for us”

“poor guy came in thinking it would be all pizza suppers and pints of tennants, ended up vegan bacon and quorn sausages served up by russell martin, no wonder he couldnt be arsed.”

LEEDS FANS

“A proper player..one every player in a football team, from the park to the championship , wants in their chsnging room”

“A player who more than played his part for us in our winning season. Didnt get the recognition from some fans that he desereved, but thankfully most fans who knew what they were talking about and seeing with their own eyes knew he did well for us when asked.
Not the stand out, flair player that fans get out of their seats when he is on the ball, but a very important part of a well oiled machine that did its job.”

“I actually like Rothwell, think he did a great job for us”

“I don’t feel Rothwell would be ok for the Premier, but he did a great job for us on loan, excellent addition to a Championship seeking squad, as he proved.”

“A tidy run about type”

“a squad filler type”

“Brought a bit of flair”

“For all of Rothwell’s limitations he was able to provide variation on set pieces and we looked far more dangerous last season”

“Rothwell was supposedly a great set piece taker but I think he only got assists in 2 games and generally I can’t say I was wowed by his set pieces”

“I’d say Rothwell didn’t stand out as a loan player. You expect loan players from premier league clubs to be key players. But, outside of that, as a squad player, he was very useful.”

“Rothwell was poor as a DMF last season”

“Rothwell was over rated.”

“he never did enough for me bar 15 minutes in one game, he was just a body on the pitch for me”

“Think Rothwell had 15 decent minutes where he got 2 assists off the bench which accounted for most of his output for the season “

“The two underwhelming signings of the season were Cairns and Rothwell, we got one open play assist and no goals from Rothwell and for me he remained underwhelming”

“lower mid championship quality journeyman”

“lower championship/lg 1 standard”

“Top pro.  Suggesting low championship / league 1 level is very wide of the mark. He has played in three championship promotion teams. That is not coincidence.”

“Farke, Aaronson & Rothwell took more flak than anyone last season.”
