Interestingly he said that just because you don’t see an outcome it doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of work going on behind the scenes and it’s better if there isn’t a loud noise in the run up to a transfer. What has been the response to Beale saying that ?
It's a strange one, Nick Barnes saying it's unlikely and after him talking to KS you would assume he has some info and Barnsley's manager saying it's going OK.
Why have you mentioned Beale? I've posted some news on a proposed transfer from the players Manager purely for information.
No one is happy that the football isn't as good to watch anymore but people have to put a little bit of thought into why that might be. It had started going that way under Mowbray, hence the 'he's run out of ideas' comments. But if it's continued under Beale, that surely suggests that its an issue with the players, not the coaches. Beale said in his press conference that he wanted the players moving the ball into the final third quicker. He's not going to say that in a press conference and then go into training and say "right lads, I want you to play as slow as possible and never try to attack". There's clearly an issue, and the fact that they can't find a first choice centre forward highlights it, within the squad.
Hmm. Not sure I buy this blame shifting line like. He's said he and the staff are working as hard they can. What more do people want him to say?
A few thousand fans need to practice shutting their gobs until they’ve learnt the skills of consequential thinking
He could maybe not throw a 21yo kid under the bus for conceding a free kick
Like you say, things can be interpreted differently. Apart from the maybe unnecessary criticism of Aouchiche over the free kick, I didn't see either of those two comments as criticism of the fans. It's a fact that negative chanting won't help the team and its fact that there is a lot of noise, from outside of the club, about him. People with an already negative opinion of him are looking for things to find fault with in what he says. Anyone genuinely upset by those things must be extremely thin-skinned.
...and me
Not sure what me means but if players avoid joining us, players lose effectiveness because of tension, manager loses focus because of the abuse because fans have become toxic then it’s their dfaukt just as much as anyone else. We all know we can be a a supportive force like no other. Why don’t we try to be that again?
I’m still expecting/hoping for a few nice surprises yet
