I'm not wanting to go back and forth with you about this but how can you state that with such a level of certainty? You might as well say everything that is not officially put out by the club is speculation; however, we know that it's not speculation, as much has been proven true. I'm only asking, I just want to know and don't want an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument from me mate But ask the same question to all those who trot out the 'monk and jos just couldn't handle their personality/egos' People are happy to state that as absolute fact but there's no evidence whatsoever that it is They're literally just making it up or repeating what someone else has made up Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madfan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I noticed Hutch gave a genuine arm around chat and well done to J.R. last night. Not just a half hearted fist bump and walk away . Man manager in the making. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Monk and Jos removed Hutchinson and Westwood for reasons other than personality then its even more damning on those two managers because that means they saw them as surplus to requirements and anyone with eyes in their heads can see that Hutch and Westwood are valuable to the team.

As opposed to Twitter and Facebook and blokes down the pub? Come on... Be honest.. It's 100% total speculation why Monk and Jos left Hutchinson and Westwood out Let's be honest Totally brutally honest The people saying they were left out because the managers couldn't manage their ego or strong personality - they all just made it up It's not a criticism it's just an absolute fact Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yet it was total speculation that many on here peddled as the truth that SH and KW were bad eggs, disruptive influences and troublemakers. They based this on nothing more than because Monk had frozen them out after Jos had, those players must be at fault. Not based on facts or truths, putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5, 100% speculation and wild theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whoever you blame for what's gone on behind the scenes, the fact is both managers failed to get them on the pitch and contributing, where as Carlos, Bullen, Bruce and Thompson have all managed it. So whether they couldn't manage them, or didn't want to is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 He brings us drive and leadership, for me under different management and used regularly as a cb than we've had Hutch would probably have been made captain as I think he has more natural leadership then Lees and bazza then and is more vocal and a better organiser than Lees too. Maybe a few of our managers struggled with strong characters in the team, hence we ended up with so many mice like reach and a side really low on agresssion, steel steel and leadership hence our failures in crucial games.
