You wonder whether this may explain some of 'negative team body language' and why something doesn't seem quite right at present. Whatever it is this type of schism in the club isn't a good thing... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/queens-park-rangers-force-out-1279025
This is always going to happen when a new manager comes in.I heard the same comments from some of Warnocks outcasts.
Explains why half the team looked like they werent even trying. Something is not right, Im convinced of that. They should move if they dont like it. Im sure Smith is a lot happier now.
This is bollocks, no direct quotes. 'A source close to the club........' In short, that means 'we made this bit up'.
There not in it for there management skills there in it because they are "experts" in the field.If you want man management get someone from BA or ICI.
Really can't agree with that. So you don't think that man-management has a part to play in modern football coaching?
I'd say man management is critical to motivate the players, unless the players worship and fear the manager in equal measures. Brian Clough was that kind of manager and it worked at Derby, but he fell on his face at Leeds. This story has a ring of truth to it for me. MH is acting like Alex Ferguson. Dangerous, because, unlike someone like Martin O'Neill, he hasn't yet got the managerial CV to back it up. I'm a bit disturbed by this report.
Of course it is, thats why so many of them fail because they are not trained in how to manage people.Martin O,Niell seems to be one of the few with those skills and as you have already said,he gained that experience with brian clough.
Most managers come out of football straight into management,just because they were good playing doesnt mean they will be good managers,look at Roy Keane.
Well .................. all I can say is, if this is even partly true, a bit of common courtesy never goes astray. Part of a mangers' portfolio is people skills. That goes along way to gaining respect from not only individuals but the team as a whole ..............OK, I've made my point and I'll get off my soapbox now.
These guys are all 'victims' of accepting contracts that give them big bucks toward the end of their careers. Having not cut it in the PL they now find that no one can afford to pay their current wages outside of it. The exception is Tommy Smith who I always think of as an ideal professional and who quite rightly prefers to play than just get paid. I do feel sorry for Young however: with Fabio making a poor fist of things so far MH really should explain why Young can't make the 25.
