Funny thing motivation. Being valued is, imho, likely to create and mantain motivation and increase morale. It's not always about money or status. Though there's bugger all evidence of this sometimes in the cynical world of football.

I agree with your sentiments, but in a results based job I think being cautious initially is ok. Sparky knows what its about and hopefully will be motivated by it and then if he does well, then is the time to give him the backing and show he's valued.

If he wins then hopefully the fans will show him he's valued :1980_boogie_down:
 
Just noticed on a forum that 75% of Saints fans said they didn't want Hughes. No, 75% of people who responded to a poll said they didn't want Hughes....negative people are more likely to bother to respond. Neutrals won't bother and fewer people with a positive opinion bother to vote. I know we love polls (alright I do :)), but they only have value if you chase the opinion of a randomly selected group of fans.

NB Polls that agree with my view are of more value. <laugh>

If our club was run like a democracy.... it would be a disaster!
