If that is true, he must be a bit naive to choose that username, as it's almost that obvious, that anybody at the club would have suspected him at a very early stage. It crossed my mind, but I dismissed it as too obvious (if that makes sense?!)
The press would love it - just waiting to print the headline 'Howley howler costs City'
At least If he plays further forward and scores they could go with 'Howley Howitzer'
Lost 2-0 (City fans rioted at the end with police having closed off The Parade in Leamington in case it escalates)
Edit: I may have made some of the above up, for added excitement.
Moi (as in me, not a sloppy kiss)
Edit: as an aside, I think they missed a trick by not offering at least 20 points for attending - could have made a few extra make the effort.
Maybe it's a way of offering reduced wages/signing on fee? Crafty move by the club. Still reckon it's a bit of an iffy rumour though. Slow news day (can't include Monzo!) and need something to fill the void.
