A good read. MM can certainly talk the talk. I so want him to walk the walk now. The bit I highlighted.... round of applause to MM with that! A great interview overall in my opinion. You dont see many managers coming out attacking players like this. He is fighting his corner. Lets hope he dont lose the dressing room over this though. Doesnt look like Higgs will stand for it and is fully behing MM to get rid of players. What do you think?
What he says is, as always, spot on. But he's been manager for over 40 games now.Why are some players not putting in the effort? Most of them are players he brought to the club! One of his jobs as a a manager is to motivate. He doesn't seem to have that skill.
Fair play to him, but ultimately he is failing. He needs to get those he is referring to out the door and sharp, otherwise they will get him the sack!
Interesting to see what 49 says, but I dont think its all that easy. When players are brought into the club the manager may have a good feeling about their playing ability, but if they are moaners and groaners on the training ground, then that realisation may come too late. In the old days of regular reserve team football players who weren't giving 100% could easily find themselves playing in front of a very small crowd with the club's kids. I used to work with an international coach (not football). He was an arogant sonofabitch., but he had ways of making sure that those players who didn't pull their weight came up to the mark. Mind you they slagged him off after he had moved onto pastures new and couldn't make them pay for their comments. Bit like the guy at Blackpool slagging off Ollie who probably gave him a hard time! I wonder if the new guy, Branston has a reputation for kicking ass in the dressing room! I think from his comments that MM is determined to turn the Club around and be around for a fair while.
I am not for sacking MM agree he can certainly Waffle.He is Scottish though!! Time to face up to realities the team is a collection of individuals and shambolic, which is why we are losing,he needs to find a formation and position that each individual is comfortable playing in on a regular basis to create a team ethic. Very telling comment from MM.................we might get a result Not at all positive for the match on Saturday.If we do not get a result then we will drop into the relegation places if other results go against us. COR
He talks a great game, but he really needs to motivate his players, ensure they understand what is expected of them and overall get the best out of them. At the moment he isn't doing any of that and plays too many players out of position. I would like him to stick around, but not in the Conference!
