DeMontfortRam got a reaction from therealhantsram in George Thorne
I thought he came across quite arrogant, I don't blame him for feeling resentment at all, he had a torrid time. But there certainly were times where it made for quite uncomfortable listening, such as when he laughed off a move to League One, if he were hungry to impress and as miserable as he made out to be he would have grasped the opportunity.
It didn't seem as if he respected authority figures too much either, especially when he first came to Derby under McClaren and refused to train the day after he joined (when the first team had a Saturday off).
Rather than attend a training session with the U23s (as asked by McClaren and Paul Simpson) where the coaching staff could get a look at him and make sure he's sharp, he instead opted to go out on a pre-planned drinking session with his mates.
I'm hardly surprised he struggled to get a game for ages after, especially as he told Paul Simpson no in front of the whole first team dressing room on his first full day.
At the end of the day it's a very well paid job and in any other profession you do as you're told if it means keeping your job.
