31Dec1966 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I know I'll be accused of being negative when so far things are looking better but why do professional footballers earning half a million pounds a year need to be told to arrive on time, give 100% all the time, work hard at their job etc.?

Beauchief Owl Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Reach has always given 100% and I'd think he'd be happy with Jos and the new regime. Others may not be so keen however, it will be interesting to see how individuals respond. IMO Jos has made a big impact already and is going in the right direction. I also think we'll be looking for a different type of player, more energetic and athletic types that give everything when competing. The future is beginning to look bright.

Once again someone thinks that the amount you pay someone = how they'll perform/act It's not the case. Never has been. Never will be. The money someone is paid is totally irrelevant when it comes to something like this. Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fines don't really hurt these modern players with the contracts they get do they. I think a paper cut is a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Might start fining my staff for turning up a minute late. Probably a nice little earner. I am not sure I totally approve of ultra strict discipline. A workplace is a workplace. If you take this stuff too far it becomes counter productive as few people like working for a total git.

I think they should have their hamptons deliberately trapped in their zips. There'd be no lateness then - I know that much. Not sure who'd fancy the job of performing the task though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We'd definitely gotten complacent under Carlos by the end - stuff like Luhukay's discipline will translate into the sort of marginal gains that are absolutely crucial to getting out of this league.

But asking people to turn up to work on time isn't too much to ask is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, how can it NOT be relevant ? If they were paid £15,000 a year and treated badly, as many people are, you could just about excuse not giving a t o s s (although I would argue personal pride should dictate that you give 100%). When footballers earnt a normal wage and were finished by 30, you could excuse them paying attention to their corner shop, pub, plumbing business. The amount someone earns is relevant to thier performance, how can it not be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discipline and hard work are the basics which every team should be able to achieve. The new manager isnt asking for the impossible , just what the players should be doing in the first place.

Indeed - a shambles and a total pisstake with regards to the money being spent. If I were DC I’d have been apoplectic. looks like JL has already instilled some discipline, just what was needed as a startpoint.
