He really could record this once and play it back on each post-match interview. He says the same things time and time again.
"try to see where we are after 46 games" does he have trouble with his eyesight? Where we end up will be be a fact, the league table will show it. Why will he try to see it?
Grant "Que sera, sera" McCann. A strategy for success.
Business schools all over the world are taking interest in the best run club in the country. The usual carrot or stick motivation methods are been put to a side and replaced with " just go with the flow and see where we end up" TWT
Ehab - 'I'm going to put out a terrible statement, it'll really piss off the fans, I'm the king of the terrible statement'.
Grant - 'Hold my jacket'.
Grant - 'Hold my jacket'.
It really is quite something to have a manager who seems to have a less openly high target than even Ehab does!
Although to be fair ‘seeing where we are’ at the end of the season maybe is a reasonable target for him, and maybe this time he ought to write it down given he can’t even remember where he ended up at the end of his first season as a manager! (pretty good he narrowed it down to ‘8th or 9th’ though)
He definitely said it, there was an audio version on Radio Humberside.
Doris Day would have been better. At least she knew how to crack the whip.Grant "Que sera, sera" McCann. A strategy for success.

After listening to McCann RH press conference , I now fully understand why he gets on so well with boy wonder, way out of his depth ,we've had some **** managers over the year's and if being a crap manager was a competition, its one competition, he's got a good chance of winning.
I can't understand why you are all so uninspired by him, it's obviously all part of the grand plan and he's executing it beautifully. I just wish other organisations would operate in the same way.
I mean who wouldn't want to fly with an airline that had 60 planes at the beginning of lockdown, saw 54 of them crash, but then be told that the MD is the best man for the job because he did actually manage to keep 6 of them flying.
I'm also sure the shareholders of a company would be delighted to continue with a MD who had somehow, so alienated his executive team that most of them had left. Then proceeded to wreck the share price so badly, that the company fell out of the FTSE 100.
I'm also pretty certain that, if say, someone like Marks and Spencers had been managed so badly that, all of their shops had to close and their online business failed, then their MD said, this is all good because I know Doncaster market inside out and we'll perform really well, their shareholders would be falling over themselves to ensure he stayed with the company.
He's an absolute visionary. He fully understands that to build something truly great you have to completely screw up what you already have, remove any lasting value, get rid of your best employees and alienate everyone one of your customers.
Who wouldn't be inspired by that!!!!!!

Has any manager in history ever had a 10 percent success rate in the run in to the end of season ever kept their job. Asking for thousands of friends??
He's got more front than Brighton. More chutpazh than DelBoy. I'd be embarrassed to be seen walking the streets with that record.
I had hoped he was mis-quoted here, it doesnt look like it though. I am lost for words over that sentence. FFS.
I'm not defending G.McC. in any way here, but has anyone given any thought he may have meant ? :
"We are reviewing what we did wrong last season, have established a plan (recruitment, formation flexibility, tactical approaches etc, to rectify & improve the situation ( not clearly defined in any of his statements however), and will see if it has worked, (with any required refinements during next season - a different league), after 46 league games."
Could be he has a hard time expressing his thoughts maybe ?

“Could be he has a hard time expressing his thoughts maybe ?” - maybe this is why he struggles in his current role ?
