Anyhow what's wrong with Big Macs (personally I dislike them..plastic food) but iirc Tuf of the Track used to win races on a diet of Fish n' Chips
Ah so now we have it. The reason we are playing so badly, that there is no team spirit and PP has lost the dressing room is all macgeady's fault. Nothing to do with the fact that PP is only used to managing brainless donkeys who have come to the end of their useless shelf life. Well done Donald and hill. You have recruited yet another absolute doozie. Oxford really dodged a bullet when their owners chased donald when he came calling.
Seriously the magic trio Maguire. Grigg, and McGeady should haved stormed this league, but I have been saying all season, because of their attitudes they should never be, on the pitch at the same time. They are the rotten apples imo, Jack Ross might have still been here, if they had given a toss, clearly they do not. With one on his way and the other two if they do not show the right attitude, will follow. The perpetual excuse for duff performances will have to be shelved for the time being. and I watch with interest. OaU
It's a fact that senior players with toxic attitudes will have a negative effect on a squad, nobody's saying it's the only problem. If the rumours are true, and it seems like they are, that he's bullying our young players you don't see an issue there?
Perhaps if Parkinson expects Mcgeady to do the decent thing and sod off in January...he could do the same and save us a fortune....if I was I two minds about turning out this Saturday, this is all not helping...
If players are unhappy with the manager and his tactics, I would hope they are man enough to have a meeting with him, not resort to bullying younger members of the squad. As I said earlier, Parkinson should deal with this first, and it looks like he has. It's then up to Donald to deal with the manager and question his and his players performances.
For me it is not either or, both Mcgeady and Parkinson should go...both are to blame! One for doing it the other for not sorting it and letting affect the team...
Be patient. It might happen, particularly if we get a bad result on Saturday. If Parkinson does get the bullet, the two matters will have been handled correctly and in the right order imo.
I was under the impression that one of Parkinson's key attributes was his man management skills. Well...the guy has been here a couple of months and he's already decided that our most creative player (by a country mile) has to go seemingly because of attitude...or something. It could be... he has been ordered to get rid of McGeady and Parkinson is just fronting this up. Whatever the reason and who has made the decision I sometimes just shake my head in disbelief at how our club is being run. Owners who don't have clue, A manager who has even less of a clue and a group of players who just seem to be going through the motions and not giving a stuff about this great club... Please Our rich Yanks....Do something quick.
I think McGeady is part of the current problem. He, and the Egotistical Axewound, clearly think they're above everyone else. I'd be interested to see our form with and without these two last season. This season it has been obvious they have been **** & couldn't give a ****. **** em, the fat ****ers
Aye is it a coincidence that we spank Tranmere without him and as soon as he's back in the team we're ****? We've all seen and talked about how play slows right down when he gets the ball and he's called McGreedy for a reason. It's probably because in the dressing room he's Billy big Bollocks and is trying too hard to show how much better than everyone else he is. Same applies to Maguire. Gooch and Watmore just run to the line and put the ball in.
Who should the club go for then?. Only asking as loads wanted Ross out expecting we could get better and we ended up with Parkinson. And if we ended up with Parky, what do you think the alternatives were as no chance we were getting the likes of Pearson imo.
I'd give it to Phillips. At least it would be a bloke the fans could get behind. Parkinson will never ever be the man for us
That picture alone shows why the idiots going on saying “WhY cAnT tHeY eAt BuRgErS” should probably shut up.
I can see the merits in that. And Phillips taking it on would definitely be a popular choice among the fans but if he had a similar return as Parky had do you think the fans would remain patient with him and give him the time he needs learning the job? That would be my biggest concern as I'd hate to see him getting pelters if he ended up being not very good.
To me PP has pressed the panic button. Why has it come to this now? Instead of taking a difficult/talented player and using his man management skills just for the time being to get us out this hole he has cast him a side. I'm not supporting McGeady just questioning PP lack of man management skills in my opinion. I think he's under so much pressure that maybe it's better to throw someone else under the bus first before him. We got the lad to sign a new contract just a few months ago and now the lad is a sh*t? I just don't know anymore with our club...lurching from crisis to crisis. Leadbitter saying he is bullying? Why didn't he do something about it? Imagine Roy Keane being your captain and mentioning that to him....ffs....there would have been blood and snots flying everywhere. So we have a team not playing...a manager who can't manage...owner who can't run the club....happy days lads!!
The good thing about Phillips getting a go is that I can't see how it could be any worse than it is now. If any manager takes us over, picks a balanced team with our most athletic players and instructs them to play it forward on the ground and out to the wings it'd be an improvement on 5 at the back and lump it. Maybe Phillips is a godamned idiot who would make baffling choices constantly but if he's not I don't see why he shouldn't get a go.
To be fair mate, if a child of mine was being bullied at school, I would expect the authorities to have a word with the bully, not the headmaster. From what's been said, PP pulled McGeady to one side, and had a word with him - McGeady through his dollies out! Leadbitter isn't made of the same stuff as Keane or Bally. The latter would have had McGeady's heed down the bog, and used McGuires heed as a mop to wipe the mess up.
