Clinton Morrison: I couldn't work with Aidy Boothroyd
FORMER Coventry City striker Clinton Morrison has joined Sheffield Wednesday - and revealed the reasons he decided to leave the Sky Blues.
The 30-year-old Londoner, who left the Ricoh Arena when his contract expired last month, has agreed a two-year deal with the club, becoming Alan Irvine’s eighth new signing this season.
And yesterday he spoke for the first time about his departure from the Sky Blues, revealing: “As soon as Chris Coleman left Coventry, I knew that I was going to go in a different direction. I had a lot of time for him.
“I had spoken to the chairman and he said that he wanted to keep me but that I was going to have to be on reduced terms.
"I said I’d wait to see what happened, but then Chris got the sack.
“Aidy Boothroyd liked a different style – I didn’t think it would suit me and I didn’t think we suited each other if I’m being honest. That’s why it didn’t work out there.”
Morrison, who has scored 11 goals in 16 appearances against Wednesday during his career, said: “It’s been a lucky place for me over the years and hopefully I can keep that going – but this time it’s my club.
“The manager has told me he wants me here and how I’m going to figure in his plans.
“I’m a player who wants to be wanted and he’s shown great faith in me.
“The manager has been trying to get me all summer. Sheffield Wednesday are a massive club and I’ve always enjoyed playing here – I think the fans are brilliant and hopefully I can score goals for them.”
