Who Could Be the Next Manager

Apparently he was in charge of the Ghana national team up until last year.

 

I think a lot of them are just mentally weak rather than rotten. I don't think they get together and try to sabotage things when they are unhappy.

But when things go against them, which is going to be fairly often at clubs like Saints, they have no backbone or will to fight. They just sulk and retreat inwards, and as a lot of them are the more established players, it then spreads through the squad.

 

It really pisses me off that people don't take Ghanaian football seriously these days.

 

Not as impressive as it sounds. Lincoln Saint's interview only lasted 2 minutes.

 

And that included the 1 minute and 59 seconds getting to the interview room.

 

Maybe it's the line of work I'm in but "experience" doesn't equal quality.

I've had some 20+ years experienced software engineers in my teams who were utter carp and just plodded along at their happy level and some straight out of uni who within a couple of years were taking lead roles in other companies. To be honest both have their place but that's not the actual point.

What experience brings you is the knowledge of the last time you cocked it up and to not do the same thing again and again. It doesn't make you (on it's own) a more skilled practitioner of your craft - that is based on innate skill, desire to improve and effort.

So I don't agree with "we need someone with 'experience'" but I do agree that we need someone with the skill, drive and the stones to do the job.

I just can't write off Tonda being that type of person because in the past someone else wasn't if the evidence starts to show that he's actually pretty good.

 

I think that you made the same point about Will Still.
It's not just one person that was employed from within the club that wasn't up to the job, it was all of them. We can't afford to waste time with an experiment right now.

 

Actually it got as far as,

"Now listen you useless ****s...."

 

I did yes - and I'll keep saying the same thing because it's true in most professions.

Doesn't mean that I'm sold on if Tonda is the right choice for the job yet and none of my posts on this actually said outright give him the job. I just feel that if he keeps this team winning whilst he's got the interim job he shouldn't be discounted because he's not one off the usual rotary line or doesn't tick one of the trope boxes and I don't think SR will discount him at all as he's known to them.

 

His opening comment being, ‘ Hello, you load of Tossers’ Various interpretations of this are understood to have been taken.
Edit. Beat me to it.

SR have employed Selles and Still, if that isn't enough to be wary of making a similar mistake then I want them out of my club.

 

Third time lucky!

 

I'm an absolute scholar of the game mate

 

Turd time lucky.

 

Man management is key. I don’t think your ref really fits what the discussion is here.
