Off Topic Ipswich - Paul Cook

[FellTop]

Sure it was mentioned part of Peter Reids role was to give inspirational speeches in the dressing room.....found that bizarre when i read....if Reids doing that....what the fook does the manager do in the dressing room, meant to be managers role to inspire a performance isnt it?.....he was probably as good as gone at that point

Interesting to think on that mate. I manage 2 teams at the minute and hace 2 assistants on each. I dont do the motivational speech bit for either. I do the team talk around tactics and how I want individuals and groups to play. Then an assistant has 2 minutes before we go out to get them fired up. One lad is brilliant at it, ex Rugby player and he talks in a way I couldnt about fighting for each other, the badge etc. I bet it is more common than we think that someone other than a manager does the final rallying call before a game. I know some clubs where the captain does that for example.

Not in anyway calling your sides level, just at prefessional league level i wpuld expect the manager, assistant (which is what you do), coaches & captain maybe players, just find it odd a retired manager not involved in coaching comes & does it.

Maybe it is more common that i expected, understand for example sides at world cups do it, one off gamez, but run of mill league on game.

prob some of our issue we dont have a leader/ captain like bally to follow up from manager/coach

Agree mate that if you have a retired manager in doing it would be odd. We do it only from the inside of the players and coaches. We arent professional by any means but I wouldnt want to give a few quid to someone just to give the motivational stuff.

Neil Harris the current favourite to replace Cook…

Right managers, at right place, at right time sometimes.

Parky and Grayson would never of been right imo.
I think Johnson and Ross have the right attributes, Ross wrong time maybe ?
Also luck, I think Moyes has a lot of luck, he was on a hiding to nothing here at the time. It was just the manner in which he went about it and the shìt ex players of his he dragged in to drag us down.
The dour, wet, ginger, porridgewog bastad.

that mate will go down in the annals of a corker
