FROM TEAMtalk
He said: "I wonder why foreign players are playing in the Second Division to be honest. If you are that much better you should walk away with the league, but Reading and Brighton have proved otherwise.
"So what are they doing here, apart from taking jobs off English and British players? What are they adding to our game in the Second Division?
"And they are not particularly cheap labour. We are going to end up with 600 players out of work."
But Thordarson, whose multi-national squad includes a Guinean, five Icelandic players, a Swede, a Norwegian, a Finn, a Dutchman, a Belgian, a Belarussian, and two Irishmen, fired his own broadside.
He blasted: "His opinions on the Second Division are very poor and not very professional. What he says about the foreigner in the lower leagues says more about him and his professional attitude than anything else."
