You only just realised?

Never used it, but with good reason it seems. The mos eisley cantina of the internet.

Huge figure in our upturn, such a positive influence over his years with us.

I wish him luck

 

[pusbccfc]

Unbelievable servant for us. Not many players have improved over time like he has.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Amazing to think he joined us when he was 32 and just got better and better!

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I can't remember if it was Bristol City or Forest (I remember they played in red). When defending a corner he took 3/4 of their players out legally. The photo after with bodies everywhere.

He's been such an important, fantastic player for us.

Remember this? Good old Fadz

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

£11.99
1 main and 2 side dishes and a drink

That's the one, with their medical team running over just puts the cherry on top. The social team need to put that as the profile picture if he does go.

 

[Evo1883]

One of my favourite Robins era signings .. a giant , a leader and a top defender for us .

Sad to see him leave

my mates a blackburn fan, he says they play 3 at the back and have a few injuries in those positions.

Well I don't want to have to doubt your mate, but they have played 4 at the back in every league game this season bar the last match according to all sources I can see!

 

[Cheylesmore ITK]

And the 3 at the back including a full back in Rankin-Costello

 

[robbiethemole]

Good luck Fadz, never let us down after the Rovrum fiasco 4-0.
Blackburn fans saying they’re our dumping ground now hahaha, Hyam, Ayari and now Fadz.

Is Hyam starting to become out of favour?

[rob9872]

Great servant and thanks, but if it's him and Hyam in a back 4 we should all make a few quid backing the opposition for the rest of the season.

What can we say about Kyle McFadzean?!

From his slow start, making 3-4 absolute clangers in the first 2 months to becoming a MONSTER in the league 1 title season, stepping up in the Championship and defying age to improve season on season, adding some goals to his game and stepping in as captain.

He's one of my fav players from the past 5 years (with Kelly) and as a 37 year old (me) he's proven to be an inspiration in what he's done for this club. I drunkenly instagram messaged him two years ago to say he'd helped reignite my love for this club.

It was always going to end at some point and I pray to God there's been no internal bust up, he's good enough for a Championship club still, and I wish him all the best. At his age he needs to play every minute he can because time stands still for no one.

What a player, what a man, what a legend. Kyle Mcfadzean

A truly great post Larry David.
I too hope there was no bust up.
Yeah I was at Rotherham game and had a nightmare. Discussed this with a younger guy after game and he had a totally different view and said he will offer a lot.

The younger guy was definitely right.
Kyle, you are always welcome at Coventry City.

 

[San Francisco]

Farewell Fadz. Proper fans player and great club servant. I remember that video of him on the bus with a load of fans singing his song.

Top fella.

 

[ccfcchris]

It's all been said here. I just wanted to say Thanks big man and good luck.

 

[hill83]

I’ll never forget that game he had a nightmare at Rotherham away though in league 1.
3-0 down in 20 minutes. I left and got back on the coach in a mood at half time to sulk on my own and the coach was full.

 

[Joy Division]

What an incredible signing he turned out to be for us. An era-defining player that epitomised the team spirt we had from the League 1 title winning side right up until the Championship play off final. I think we were very lucky to have signed him at the time and was the perfect leader we needed during that era. Thankfully the transition has been a smooth one with finding a natural replacement for him and we really did get to see his best years as a footballer. That said I still think he has a couple more seasons left in him.

 

[Skyblue_LDN]

I’ve been a big fan of him, as much for his character and commitment but can’t begrudge him moving on if he doesn’t figure in our plans going forward and wants to play football. The romantic in me wants these guys to stay forever and become part of the coaching set up but we can’t keep everyone around for sentiment sake. Best of luck to him, had a horrible year losing his mum and maybe a fresh start somewhere will be good for him

 

[Jamesimus]

Great player for us and was brilliant last season. One of my favourite players of recent years.

Blackburn apparently switching to a back 3, haven’t been good at set-pieces and are lacking leaders. They don’t seem to know it yet, but it’s a good signing for them.

He may have a face like a ham sandwich that’s been in your bag for 2 weeks, but he’s a proper footballer as well, not just a bruiser.

 

[Mcbean]

Top fella and nice one at that - was really dedicated to the cause and laid his body on the line for the Sky blues - utmost respect for him and good luck at Blackburn

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Rov'rum

F*ck sake, at least I got it right that they played in red.

Another good song walking out the door!

 

[Adge]

One of Robins most important signings. An old school beast of a player! Wish him all the best.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Got a case to be Robins best ever signing, don’t think we would have won league 1 without him and stayed up that first year in the championship and he just got better. Remember games against the likes of Mitrovic when he completely pocketed him. Been massive influence for the likes of Hyam, Doyle, Rose. A proper modern day legend.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Be nice if he gets a sit down exit interview similar to the Vik one

 

[robbiethemole]

Remember this? Good old Fadz

Looked like the aftermath of a multiple car crash, only Fadz still standing.

 

[Major Tom]

Shows the quality of the man who still wants to push a chance of playing at a decent level. Clearly saw his opportunity here finished, he could have easily took the easy route sat on his contract and taken the wages.

 

[skybluericoh]

All the best Fadz hope he will be back for legends days in the future. Maybe not this season….
for me his return last season after an injury was instrumental in our improvement and play off push.

 

[itsabuzzard]

Never used it, but with good reason it seems. The mos eisley cantina of the internet.

Having never watched Star Wars, I had to Google that.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Will be welcome back at legends day or for any game he wants.

No L1 promotion or Championship consolidation without him.

True modern day hero and wish him all the best.

 

[Balli001]

Andy Turner suggesting he is leaving by mutual consent so wouldn't be a loan

Pay off and short term deal with them then.
