All the posts from that time will obviously still be archived, but it was meltdown on here at the time, so I reckon wins would placate people for a couple of weeks but the inevitable murmurings of discontent would soon kick in, if indeed they DO play the style referred to. Think i may have been one, though not screaming just a bit bored with the tippie tappie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) We might be a bigger club. We might be in a higher division. But man management and getting the best out of human beings is the biggest part of the job. And probably the most overlooked skill set as we all get bogged down with tactics and style of play. What they have done so far in their career is to create effective team units where individuals play their part for the common cause seems to suggest they have good man management.

Danny Cowley was never offered either the West Brom or Hull jobs. Anyone can say "im not interested" if he knows he's not getting the job, just to appease his own fans.

Mystic Neg Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This would be a big boost to the club in the short term and a nice Birthday present for us. The question will be is whether it can keep giving long term and we get the ultimate gift of promotion. They have as good a chance as any and this would have my full backing. Please get them DC.

Sorry Tommy, while it may or may not be true about Hull and West Brom, I certainly wouldn't take something as fact just because a journalist for a national newspaper wrote it. Their job is to stir up interest to get clicks, sell papers, etc. I have to agree with s29wfc's. I always scan an article for the quotes, that's where the truth is (and even then it can be chopped up and misrepresented). Anything else is just a journalists opinion, which I couldn't really care less about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
