We got the best of him, no doubt about that.

Was about to post the same. Every move since, he hasn't seemed to really settle, or get the fans approval like he had here.

The thing is when he was here, we knew he had limitations in his defending, but the way we played, and the players we played alongside him, more than made up for those limits. The number of goals he scored also helped!!!

He'd do well in League 1, maybe a lower end Championship club would take a chance.

Indeed. He was an example of a real success in the transfer market. We got him for a good price, got great performances from him, sold him at the precise right time for a great fee and replaced him with Webster. There’s lots of valid criticisms of our transfer policy in recent years but Flint is a great example of how things can be done.

I’d imagine this will be the start of a rapid decline down the leagues for Flint..

Fair play to him though - his life now is a million miles away from when he was playing for Alfreton and working on the roads at night which wasn`t really all that long ago. His hard work has carved out a pretty good career for himself. I suppose it depends on whether he wants to go on being whacked by lower league cloggers week in week out or pack it in.

I think it a bit OTT to talk about a rapid decline down the leagues. He’s 32 so perhaps his Championship days are over but he could easily play for 2 or 3 more years at League 1 level.

He almost certainly could but his game is so physical would he want to?

Yet his ratings were pretty good this season ( I had to check as I never watch Cardiff ) . He probably has another contract before retirement . Would be fine in L1 . Wish him well he gave it all for us , and we made a huge profit . 

Reading the comments on Cardiff’s forum suggests he’s been ok / decent for them this season and overall in his time there

Absolutely mate - im certainly not knocking him. Provided he has been sensible with his dough he should be fairly set for life which as you said considering where he was not all that long ago playing for Alfreton you have to applaud him.

One of my favorite city players of all time. I won't hear any slander otherwise. 

He said NO

Flint was outstanding for us and pivotal in that Cotts double winning side but we definitely saw the best of him.

He would be a superb signing for a club in league one now though.

Please not the gas my heart couldn't take it

I’d imagine he’d be the one doing the whacking ???.  If he does end up in Lg1 I’d expect him to be an astute signing.  Would not surprise me if he gets one last Championship gig.

As they apparently hardly speak to each other these days, why would we want that animosity in the dressing room?

I thought they were best buds?

There's a whole thread on their bust up somewhere, from last year. Something to do with Flint's break up with Packs Sister in Law?

Heard similar gossip around here in Portishead too.

Bradley Orr might have thought that as well and he went down for a month or so.

Orr had nowhere near the level of exposure Barton has had.Barton is  much bigger fish in many ways.

He’s moved to Derby but I don’t know if he’s joining the FC there.

Makes sense as that's the area where he is from.  

Edit: Sorry @GrahamC, I should have read the rest of the thread before posting

Flint was engaged to Marlon Packs wife’s sister, they’d been together a while and he’d taken on her two children. He cheated on her with the actress Chanel Cresswell and they broke up.

You have told us more here about football and football management (and possibly Bristol City) with these two lines than 5 years of hundreds of us blokes droning on about recruitment, how "he set the team up," ffbloodyp, substitutions, whether the manager is shouting enough from the technical area during games, tactics, Parsons Street, expected blinkin goals, "assists" etc blah etc.

Got anymore of this stuff?

Yes I know the story, but as it was already dealt with elsewhere I thought I would leave it there, but that's a good summary although there is more to it.

I can't say where I got this from but, apparently during the away game at Cardiff when things were still raw, other Cardiff players were having to relay messages between them on the pitch. That must make for a good team spirit, although Cole and Sheringham managed to be quite successful in similar circumstances so who knows?

I have ?

The Fiancée previous to Pack’s sister in law also was scorned though to spray cheat all over his car and tell everyone what a scumbag he was all over social media.
