You ignore the three things I included after machinery - h&s, knowledge and tech. Perhaps manual labourers should be entitled to private healthcare, longer holidays, shorter hours and earlier retirement.

Look, Ric, you don't agree with me on anything and find something to complain about in a lot of my posts, whether I am joking or being serious. So let's just leave it. They'd probably be no issue face to face.

It's not not being a man to demand better treatment from your employer. No one should suffer outside their work hours to make someone else money. Thinking it's manly to destroy your body is ridiculous.

When I was union rep, I walked 15 of us off rig duty because we hadn't been given the right welding masks and safety equipment. Happily do it again. Allowing someone to get injured or even die, isn't being a man, protecting them is.

Now let's leave it. I shall write no more.

Someone, somehow, has to sit down with Acun, and explain to him how Championship football works. Though parachute payments have somewhat skewed the level playing field, it is still a league where anybody can beat anybody. BUT, the golden rule is, Do Not Lose. A pragmatic 0-0 away from home is a good result. And the dog-pooh mess we are in at the moment, 0-0 at home is a bloody good result. And nick a goal? Perfect. Lifted from the Steve Bruce book of championship management. There have been suggestions we play 5 at the back. I would suggest 10, and the team bus. Acun, and us, we are all going to have to sit through some turgid stuff to stop the rot.

Come down off cloud nine mate
I was a labourer for years even with the right safety equipment picking up a Jack hammer for years isn’t going to do anyone any good
Having safety glasses wearing gloves and ear muffs still isn’t going to stop vibrations going through you or affect your hearing
Rattling your spine
Digging holes and bending your back isn’t going to do it any good in the long run no matter how many lifting and handling courses you go on
Kneeling on a cold wet floor isn’t going to do you any good even with knee pads on
I could go on
I got out of it
Some do some don’t

Professional footballers, the most maligned and oppressed section of the proletariat.

Maybe the players should complain to PFA about the unreasonable working conditions Walter put them through. Asking centre-backs to rotate into midfield is up there with the Haymarket affair as far as worker disputes go.

Judging by Baz's latest article, it seems the opposite, that the intensity of training was lacking.

Fair opinion.
 
I'm just going off this quote:

Walter has won just three of his 25 games in charge, including friendlies, and in truth, the warning scenes have been there for a long, long time. The abrasive German struggled to convince his players about his methods, the way he wanted to play, his tactics, his approach on and off the field and the training schedule and its intensity, or lack of. There were members of the squad who were unhappy with the approach and made it clear privately that they wanted to leave in the summer, some did, and some did not.

An assumption from reading the body language of the players.

If you think Walter wasn't the problem, will there be other championship clubs wanting to employ him in the near future?

And that is the word 'assumption' which I used to believe they gave up too easy on more than one occasion because it was too tough for them.

I would expect him to get a job at an Elite level club within 12 months. Maybe not here but his reputation before coming here was strong enough for him to be employed again.

Walter has had a difficult time for sure, recruitment was late and haphazard and he has lost some key players to injury and suspension.

but I don’t think it’s reasonable to suggest that another manager couldn’t get any better out of this squad of players. We have been looking worse in recent weeks, Luton excluded, not better and I do believe a different coaching approach with a new manager could turn that around.

It is a definate possibility, and that would in part back up my theory the players have given up on Walter which is unprofessional.

TBF my liver has taken a beating this week, I don't drink these days at all unless it's taking or being taken out by customers.
