I’m not bitter at Blues, declares Dunne

RICHARD DUNNE insists he is not bitter and harbours no ill-will towards the club where he had been captain and four times player of the year.

“No, I’m not bitter, I really enjoyed it and I wish them all the success they can have. The fans have been fantastic to me there and they’ve been crying out for success for such a long time and now they seem like they’re on the brink of it and I hope it all goes really well for them. It’s a really enjoyable club, a family club and I just hope they get what they deserve.”

Dunne, however, also believes that Aston Villa are a club who can give his former employees “a run for their money this season”.
